      In 2017 I predicted Jermall Charlo would be running 160 and hold most of the belts in 2019. He would be the dominant force at 160.

      A few years back I thought Gary Russell Jr would be the last man standing at 126 by now.
      I thought Crawford (though not a fan) would KO Khan easily inside 5 rounds.. didn’t happen turned put to be a ****** fight.

            I was quite surprised at Kova’s second wind in 9th through 11th.
            Yea that was un-Kovalev-like to comeback. I had lost my money already in my head after the first seven rounds cuz I had no clue theyd invest so lil to the body which to me is the key to beating Kovalev these days. Then I was like oh sh^t Imma bout to win in the 8th & then when Kovalev came with it in the 9th like he did I was like oh f#ck. Think Yarde shot his load to which didnt help. Sh^t strategy by Tunde to not go to the body more early when Yarde was fresher & like he often does. Trying to wear out the guy with sh^t cardio when you got unproven cardio yourself is too risky a move.

            JDJ even said he talked to Tunde & told him, body body body, so idk wtf that dummy was trying to do. Unless Yarde just got too into headhunting. Even when he had Kovalev shook in the 8th he wasnt going to the body as much as I woulda been trying to do.

                I predicted Zerafa beating Horn.
                Everyone else thought Horn would get past through Zerafa
                in spectacular bullying fashion and would be awarded the Murata paycheck.
                Didn't know what they're thinking.

                    Where do I start, I'm wrong more than I'm right, at least on fights other than those where the result is so obvious a blind man could predict it (and sometimes I'm wrong on those)

                      This is about what you got wrong. Not gloating about what you got right.
