    I am back - and I was wrong...

    I have been away for a long time, following my embarassing failures at predicting. I considered returning when Ward beat Kovalev, but nah, it wasn't surprising to me. Ward is just better. I would have returned if Walters beat Lomachenko, though, just to tell people how right I was on both outcomes. Well, I was only right on 1 of them. Respect to Ward and respect to Lomachenko, true elite fighters who now should have earned the respect of any fair boxing fan. I was wrong about Lomachenko and in a way, I was also wrong about Kovalev. Ward is not leagues above him. They are in the same league and Ward is just better. I have been humbled, but yet again, it has given me back a lot of my passion for the sport. To be proven wrong once in a while is important in order to not feel bored by predicting right all the time.

              Oh no, please don't tell me that this place thinks Kovalev won... Winning 3 rounds at max + a knockdown is not enough, sorry. I'm leaving this place again, I can't degrade my intelligence by seeing this pathetic bull**** about Kovalev getting robbed, lol. Bye again...

                  Some folks mistook Xpert for Expert and in retrospect expected more out of you.

                  Take your beef curtain and snail trail your way out of here

                    Man you put to much pressure on it. We are all wrong at times, and some times when you are right you are still wrong.

                    I openly spoke about how I felt Kell could expose huge flaws in GGG game and beat him... I was right (in my opinion) in the sense Kell was able to nullify GGG from distance and score up close with his superior speed. But I was wrong about his ability to slip GGG jabs and thought he'd be smart enough to stay off the ropes.

                    I picked Chavez to beat Thurman..he got knocked out.. Thought Fortuna had P4P potential( Still think he does if he fights smart) and he got knocked out. Thought a young 154 fighter Daquan Arnett was the next Ray Robinson 14 fights in and he lost to a guy who now has a loss.....It just happens in this fcked sport. The Margins are too small, just enjoy it. Pick the fights and talk ***** when you get it right, play it off when you get it wrong like the rest of us XD
