    Hopefully I won't get roasted, but I thought McGregor vs Mayweather was going to be way more even of a fight.

        I thought Ruslan Provodkanov was going to be the next big thing but losing to Algieri got me off my high horse

        I also thought Lucas Mattyhsse was going to wipe Danny Garcia out and I ate humble pie at the gym the next day

          Broner. DeMarco was a legit good fighter and Broner just made a fool out of him, I really thought he was going to be Mayweather, Whitaker and Dela Hoya all in one. Going into the Maidana fight I thought that if Alexander could win a 12-0 against him, Broner would probably stop him since he was hurt by Ortiz, Khan and López, boy I was wrong. I was just 14 at the time tho.

            For the Floyd fight I have an excuse as I was still a casual, quite young and ******. People in the UK all thought Ricky would win, I remember overhearing people at the shopping mall saying "Ricky will do that Flint Mayflower by bodyshot in the 6th", stuff like that.

            I honestly should have known better by the Pac fight though, but somehow I bought the line that mayweather Sr had made Hatton a master boxer and that he'd be "too big" for pacquiao.

            Dearie me
            Deontay vs Fury, Victor Ortiz vs Josesito, Ruiz vs Joshua !

              There was some guy on here....harry? sally? jerry?....who said that Broner was going to be the fighter of the decade. I believed. After Broner got whooped by Maidana I tore all my Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles posters off the wall and destroyed all my TMNT VHS tapes.

                    When it was announced my gut obviously said Wlad, but then I started getting taken in by the Hayemakers fancy patter. The big talk, the T-shirt, I figured he had Wlad worried.

                    By the end of the promotion, he had me hook line and sinker, and I bet £100 on a Haye KO.

                    Then Wlad played with him like a child and he blamed his toe.

                    F*** David Haye.
                    Wladimir Kiltschko did not play with David Haye, he just edged each round 'Infact out of the two fighters? Kiltschko was the most hurt, in the last round he was hanging on after a big right hand detonated upon him'.

                    David Haye would of sparked out Tyson Fury, if they had fought when planned.
