    I didn't say anything about a KO. I said Spence was a 100-1 favorite. And he was or something like that.

    Fortuna was the big favourite against Sosa and Santa Cruz was the favourite against Frampton.
    Frampton vs Santa Cruz was something like -160 SC, +130 Frampton so its a pick em more or less.

    Now go get some other ideas to attack me with, cause these ones are simply not very wellplanned... They're pathetic.
    Who's "attacking" you? I'm saying the odds of the fights you predicted.

      Easy, casual fans won't post in boxing forums

      Unless of course, it's an old school hardcore fan who's too old to use tech and rather just watch boxing

      My father watches every boxing fight you can think of, on any channel he can find, but he doesn't discuss boxing. He's still hardcore though, he knows his history and knows really old black and white era boxers and what they accomplished, who's their notable wins, without google lol

        1) If your 100-1 wasn't about a specific KO in round 6, then your 100-1 is irrelevant. I didn't predict Spence to beat Bundu. I predicted him to beat him by KO in round 6.

        2) "More or less", nah. "More"? Yes. Santa Cruz was the favourite, whatever you twist the words or not.

        3) You don't appreciate art. I don't merely predict results. I predict detailed results. Like Frampton SD favourite Santa Cruz, Sosa KO favorite Fortuna, favorite Spence knocking Bundu out in round 6, Canelo beating Smith via robbery, etc.

          I'm sure you have something to ride on.

          But I doubt it's "results"

              Come on quit bsing. You picked right, but you didn't pick it THAT right. You didn't say a KO 6. You said a KO within 6 rounds giving you 50% of the fight to get the KO prediction right. You weren't the only person predicting a Spence KO or a early KO at that from what I recall.

              2) "More or less", nah. "More"? Yes. Santa Cruz was the favourite, whatever you twist the words or not.
              To betting people -160, +130 is "basically" a pick em fight. In particular for boxing where anything in the -300 favorite or less range is considered a close fight.

              3) You don't appreciate art. I don't merely predict results. I predict detailed results. Like Frampton SD favourite Santa Cruz, Sosa KO favorite Fortuna, favorite Spence knocking Bundu out in round 6, Canelo beating Smith via robbery, etc.
              I rarely see details in your predictions. In fact when asked by others I notice you usually just say something like "its obvious if you know boxing" that x will happen. You are hardly NSB's nostradumas, but respect for your nice run.

                  Roger Mayweather picked Cotto against Canelo, so he don't know sh1i1t about boxing.

There is only one way to separate the casuals from the hardcore fans. And that's going by the succes of their prediction rate. Which active fighter can beat which active fighter when they face each other? THAT's what proves your worth as a boxing fan. If you get lots of wrong predictions, you know nothing about the sport and is just guessing. If almost all of your predictions, or in my case, ALL of the predictions, are true... Then you can call yourself an expert of hardcore fan. Everything else is subjective cheap talk.
                    That's great man, you must earn a lot of money winning on bets too. Could you PM me all of your predictions for the coming year I will just bank 'em thanks.

                      My dad died a few years ago. I'm the guy now, in my household we talk boxing at thanksgiving. My four sisters are prepping their husbands on the sweet science. My uncles and I will delve into the twilight zone of boxing.

                      Sal Sanchez, Lupe Pintor, bramble, Nelson(post Sanchez) etc. etc.

                      Then, with me at the head of the table, the conversation will flip to Israel, *********, and the West Bank.

                      I wish my family stayed in boxing only...
