    I knew Rigo would undress Donaire. I was never high on Donaire but after the Mathebula fight I knew Donaire was the most overrated fighter in the world.

    Also I picked Garcia over Khan. But then again I picked Matthysse over Garcia so you win some you lose some.

    I picked Marquez over Pacquiao in the 4th fight but thought it would be a decision.

      Matthysse Peterson within 3. I said it would be easy work. Got a bunch of green k. Natas green stands out. He said, "You said it would be easy."

        As a black guy from the USA the fact that I chose Calzaghe to beat Lacy put me in the...minority so to speak. I don't think I'll ever be able to top myself on that one.

          I picked Danny Garcia to beat Rod Salsa. I was on the fence for awhile, but at the last minute I picked Garcia

            George Foreman knocking out Micheal Moore. I felt like a fool for 9 rounds until Foreman took him out in 10

              I thought Pacquiao would flatten Hatton in less than 3 rounds but it's not really that impressive a prediction. It was clear Floyd had ruined Hatton psychologically more than physically. Pacquiao just finished him off.

              I did predict Groves would give Froch hell in the first fight but Froch would win. I still think it was a bad stoppage but i always felt Groves wasn't going to be steamrolled like some did.

              I knew Calzaghe would destroy Lacy. He is just a different class of fighter. Calzaghe had the tools to complete with absolutely anybody, it's a shame is resume doesn't say the same thing, it's a shame because he could have achieved even more than he did and left a big legacy, he certainly had the talent.

              Well i didn't predict this before the fight but during round 1 of the Martinez v Williams II fight, i said Martinez is going to knock out Williams or at least hurt him because he he threw that punch so many times and getting closer, it was only a matter of time before one landed.

                Cotto Vs Margarito 1 was a good one for me minus the hand wraps.

                  switched my pick, last minute, from a marquez knockout to a bradley SD. i dind't think it would be that close, but that a judge would like marquez' work.



                  also called a second round knockout of hatton when pacquiao fought him. i didn't think it would be that brutal, doe. ricky'd still be on that canvas if kenny bayless didn't get in his face and give him intense looks


                  i'd go further back, but that would involve longer term memory, and i just can't muster that right now.

                    you're bold, bro. that's bold.



                    i saw salsa on the street the other day. i gave him a high five. he took it like a champion, and asked me for another one. the second one sparked him clean out.


                    i thanked al haymon, and told him to remember my name.

                      I remember people being really slow to wake up to what Pacquiao was back then. You still had people writing off the Oscar and Hatton performances by the time the Cotto fight came around. After Cotto the doubters were gone though.
