Originally posted by IMDAZED View PostMe too . Was in a house with a bunch of Tyson fans and I was talking **** about Holyfield winning before the fight, during the fight and after the fight. I should've put some money on that fight because as soon as it was signed, I knew Holyfield was gonna get in his ass. 25-1 odds. Sigh. If only I was a little older I could've made off sweet smh.
The other fight I could of made money on was Hopkins Trinidad.

I know people will say that's wrong but like one of my trainers told me a long time ago you can sit a 5 year old in front of a fight and he can tell you who won. I thought it was close but Mercer deserved the win and just fought better overall. Foe me he boxed better, did more damage and was just taking it to Lewis who was lackadaisical all night.
.
So that's what I did with Lewis-Mercer and I've scored it for Lewis by one round twice now. And in a fight like that I'm not surprised some people scored it for Mercer initially. It was a close fight and you could make a strong case for him. Throw in his underdog status and a heavily biased crowd at the Garden and his performance looks that much better. Nevertheless, I had Lennox winning that fight.

Originally posted by IMDAZED View PostThat's not wrong, that's exactly what I do . I always watch a fight without "scoring" it in the traditional sense. I just watch and, in a sort of innate way, you can actually see who "won" the fight better. Probably doesn't make any sense but I think you understand. And when I watch the fight thereafter, I try scoring it using the judge's system.

Originally posted by Davis40 View PostI know by the time I saw the odds like the day before the fight it was 6-1. It's funny how everyone thought Tyson was such a wrecking ball. Even up until like 2006 there were people who thought Tyson could still dominate if he just got in shape. I'll never forget how mad this one kid got because I wouldn't change my mind to pick Tyson right before the fight. He literally wanted to fight me over it.

But Hopkins' performance that night was jaw-dropping. Truthfully, he could've beaten Trinidad a lot of different ways that night, he just took the opportunity to show everyone his all-time great skills.
