    I knew there had to be someone from my side of the pool to say some such similar nonsense. I wasn't having that, right back to the man who did it I say.

    Annie, to my knowledge, never penned anything anyone used for anything. I have, and I says we know very little to be honest.

    The things I could school you on range from anecdotes to so far passed they no longer matter. What you can teach is called boxing. Respect.

        You do well at picking fight outcomes?

          I don't honestly know.

          If I offer a straight bet between two people then I'm very serious. On that front, I've never been wrong, but, on that front I only ever do it when people Like ****Em predict dumb**** like Takam over Joyce. So, those are sure, that's why I offer them. I don't actually expect to be taken up.

          I pull for dudes in the betting games I know probably won't come through for me because, like any bad gambler, I'm drawn to the odds and the what if. On top of that I prefer a KO finish so often I'll go for it even though the guy I have winning doesn't usually get KOs and the guy I have losing doesn't get KO'd.

          I've only ever really gone to bat for three current boxers, or 3 who were current while going to bat. IMO though, the choices were obvious. Mayweather, Ward, and Wilder. There's only one loss on all three records so that's pretty good but also they're 2/3s legends. The only risky pick there was Wilder and **** ain't looking great ATM.

          I could say I used to but then again I used to almost never pick a winner so that's a bit like the personal bets, if you're holding your cards until you absolutely know you're going to win then you're not really testing yourself.

          Lots of times I pick someone to be contrarian and don't actually give a ****. If 90% says A and I think B is good enough to have fans I'll pretend like I give a **** just to give the A fans someone to talk to. I don't really follow feather tbh but from time to time I may act like it so that folks have someone to tell you don't know **** about boxing to.

          So, that said, it'd be pretty arrogant of me to say I can predict fights any better than any other fan, and, I'm not sure you even need much knowledge of boxing to predict them, or rather, I'm not sold on the idea any knowledge of the sport would be more effective picking winners than an acute understanding or probabilities and ******** strategies...then again I may be giving them too much credit.

              Red - Yeah. I know the vibe.

              Green - Shame on you. I know he wasn't it from the get go.

              Yellow - play the pick 'em game and let's see how you fare.

                Base PickEm I jumped into late then Sweepstakes PickEm started and I liked the idea so I threw my money in but I had my first baby so that kind of took me out of it before I really got going. I've only just started and I'm too far behind to catch up but on the next round I'll look to make a statement I think.

                  Feints and deception on moving. That's the ticket.

                    Assuming there is a next round even. People seem to be losing interest in it pretty hard and if I win again no one will wanna play a 3rd time :P

                      I'd echo what the other guys have said about feinting and moving. What I'd add is when he does trap you and force you to fight, work that body and don't be afraid to land on the upper arms and shoulders. All of that will help slow him down a bit. Nice tight guard, bend those knees and keep your elbows tucked when you're digging. After you get off, step through him or turn him to take back the center of the ring
