My best were when I called Judah KOing Spinks in the 9th round and then called Corrales KOing Castillo in the 10th round. I was so happy because most people picked Spinks, but I knew better. When I got the round I was even more thrilled. My favorite was when I said Corrales would wear Castillo out and stop him in the 10th. Easily my favorite boxing fight and moment in boxing history.
Other ones I called the round of were Barrera stopping Ayala in the 10th. I was watching with a friend and told him my prediction. Then Ayala went down in the 8th and he was like, well at least you were close. I smiled when Ayala was done in the 10th round, and he said he would always come to me for picks from then on.
I was close with Hopkins stopping De La Hoya (I said 10th round, but then, so did a lot of people). I called Corrales stopping Freitas in the 8th round, which is when he scored the first knockdown. Again, a lot of people picked Freitas so I was thrilled. Plus, Corrales is my favorite fighter and I had about 8 friends over who had never watched boxing to see it. They all thought I was a genius, which is nice. I called Toney beating Holyfield, which just about NOBODY picked at the time. Sure, people will say they picked it now, but back then, I was the only person I knew picking Toney to win the fight, so that felt great. Hmmm...can't think of too many more that were just completely oustanding.
