    Giving a fighter problems is not a victory their are no moral victories in boxing

    Im so tired of fans, experts, etc taking the easy route predicting fights.

    I know people have their favorites and don't want to root against them, but when I predict fights, I leave personal preference at the door and look at fights as if im betting money or my house.


    Its annoys me when people say things like....Oh this guy will give Manny problems, or this guy will give Floyd problems or this guy will give Ward problems.

    the real deal is if you will make a solid prediction and say the certain fighter will win with conviction

    I was wrong about Guerrero over Thurman and Thurman illustrated what I doubted about him. Having the smarts to give different looks and transition from offense and defense. He did well

    Of all the big fights or possible fights Id take Mayweather over Pacquaio, Garcia over Peterson, Khan over Brook, Ward over GGG, Kovalev over Stevenson, Kovalev over Pascal, Crawford over Anyone at 140 when he gets acclimated to the weight etc.

    I stand by all those predictions, can explain them thoroughly, and I am not emotionally invested. I look at them logically

      Start by predictions with you head, and not your heart? Most fights are predictable. I called yesterday to a T, regardless of what I wanted to happen. And that's how it is with most fights. For the most part their easy to see. Mismatches.

        I don't think they were mismatches....I think the matchmaker did a decent job

          I saw them as mismatches. Go look at my post history.

          Guerrero didn't belong nowhere near Thurman and Molina Jr didn't belong nowhere near Broner.

          Broner should be fighting Danny Garcia, or credible WW's.

          Thurman should be fighting Khan, Bradley, possibly Brook.

          That was all pretty obvious to me.

            op you sound like a boring ass motherfucker lol.

            Some people like riding with their fighters, it actually makes the fight more intense and enjoyable.

            Not everyone just wants to roll with who is most likely to win, if that was the case ******** wouldent exist for sports.

              There are a lot of moral victories in boxing... When your expected to get blown out and you lose a close fight then yeah you proved to everyone you belong..

              Tim Witherspoon vs larry Holmes
              Foreman vs holyfield
              Vitali vs lennox
              Marquez vs manny 1
              Winky vs vargas

                Exactly. I was rooting for Molina last night, I knew he was most likely gonna get his ass kicked. But anything possible.

                  but you were wrong about guerrero and thurman, i am sure you use the same formula to all the rest of your predictions here.
