    Santa Cruz over Frampton in their first bout. I was definitely wrong about Frampton. Thought Cruz would have no problem with him.

        BHop over Smith

        I just wanted the BHop legend to live on


        Martinez over Cotto

        Boy I really underestimated how injured Sergio was. On paper Sergio was taller, bigger, arms were longer and probably faster than Cotto. I'm still a little salty over that fight.

            I've been wrong many times, but these are the real bad predictions I've made:

            Donaire KOs Rigondeaux.

            I also thought Martinez would be able to at least stand on two legs against Cotto.

            Mattysse KOs Garcia
            Peterson schooling Garcia (he kind of did, but started too late in the fight).
            Viloria KOs Chocolatito
            Pavlik TKO over Hopkins
            Vargas TKO over De La Hoya
            Tyson KOs Holyfield (glad Evander won though).
            Gamboa stopping Crawford

            I also thought Mattysse, Khan and Devon Alexander would be big stars and top p4p fighters.

            I have a few other bad predictions, but can't remember all of them at the moment.

              Tito over Hopkins.

              Dude I didn't visit boxing forums over a month after that fight.

                  These two are two of my worst predictions.

                  To be fair, wasn't Pavlik suffering from a really bad illness in the weeks leading up to the Hopkins fight? (Still trying to make myself feel better about my prediction )

                    Idk that I officially made a prediction, but I remember as a kid thinking of not going to my dads for the weekend, he lived out in the country & didn't have cable + no internet back then, to watch the Tyson vs Douglas fight at my moms. I was supremely confident Tyson would KO Douglas in a couple rounds like he almost always did doe & was shook as f#ck when I heard them talking about the upset on CNN at a aunts house the night of the fight.

                    No boxer losing will ever came or could come as much of a shock to me like Tyson's first L did. I was new to boxing so had unrealistic expectations of a boxers unbeatability + Tyson had that nearly mythical power & rep of destruction. Those two facts won't cross paths again for me.

                    Yea same. Idr if I predicted a KO, but I picked Diego. That Emanuel Augustus performance had me doubting Floyd's chances vs his best opponent at the time.
