    I know I know. I said who didn't get that wrong

    Mike Tyson was my favourite fighter at the time. I was so confident he would win it, I don't think I've ever been so confident.

    Holyfield really whooped him.

      I thought it would be a blowout because Marquez would be slow and out of his element at the weight. I expected the style not to matter at all.

        De La Hoya v Pacquiao
        Morales V Maidana
        Montiel V Donaire
        Klitschko vs Sanders

        With all the talk of Pacquiao being too small, I expected the bigger Oscar to dominate Pacquiao.

        Definitely thought Morales had made a horrible choice and was going to get killed against Maidana.

        Expected Montiel to go to war against Donaire and pull out the win.

            That's the second PPV I ever remember seeing. I was 9 and remember how that fight was all about Tyson.

              I knew what you said, just relating a story on how a group of people were sort of pwned by holyfield.

                  I'm gonna go back as far as 2007-present, i'll have to say Pacquiao-Marquez III. Although I only made one bet on that fight, which was that Marquez does not get KO'ed in 5 rounds or less like a poster predicted, I did think Marquez would get knocked out late, I just couldn't bet against Marquez. Instead Marquez schooled Pacquiao and appeared to have won the fight, only to get robbed in the end. Coming in with 4 KD's suffered against Pacquiao in total, didn't even get KD'ed once in the trilogy vs this falsely advertised new and improved Pacquiao, while he was an aging Marquez who was at a weight class where he already was made to look like he didn't belong in.

                    Oh

                    Yeah, same thing for me.

                    Everyone was talking about how Holyfield needs to retire. I was saying the same thing. Think I predicted 4 round KO or something like that.

                    Ahhh, man. Where does the time go.
