    That the guy who smiles is more likely to lose sh^t I've never heard & I'm super curious about, but looks like its old news. Was trying to see how much more likely it was, but they asking me for $11.95 for the PDF to read it lol.

    I'll be watching that.





    Idk if thats a smile, but its something.

      You see its tough too gauge how accurate the smiling thing is. As people like golovkin and pac done it alot and won. I'd say the facial dimensions are more accurate and can be seen as a shared trait throughout boxing in regard to those with iron Jaws generally having wider faces. And almost always aggressive style of fighter.

        That broner expression screams ****** lol. The funniest thing I see was a video on YouTube where someone edited him crying out the arena but put that Michael Jackson song over the top of it the one that goes. "you are not alone, I am here with you"

        Also what's going on with that blokes face in between May n mcgregor lol

          Well I did see in the study they didn't take past into it. So if a guy smiles all the time then it would mean less one would think. Like I noticed when looking up the pics I posted that Kovalev smiles a lot at face offs so if he's smiling that don't necessarily mean the same thing as another guy smiling who doesn't smile usually.

          They also mention they took into account betting odds so I assume they tried to only look into closer fights too.

            LOL idk, but that sh^t is hilarious looking.

            Makes you wanna be careful when mfers taking a pic so you don't look like a crazy person for generations to come. Some boxing dork from 2235 is gonna be looking up old boxing pics one day & seeing this goofy looking bastard.

                That's true I don't think it's the most in depth analysis. I read something before much more comprehensive I'll find it for you... Here it is bro.
