But, I do make some pretty good predictions at times when watching pro fights and there's a few things I look for;
-What punches are getting through? Seems simple enough but a lot of people overlook this. Is the guy not protecting his body? Not respecting the left hook? There's been so many times on this forum that I've called what punch was going to finish the fight because one guy (even if he was winning) simply wasn't respecting a certain punch.
-How does he react? To pressure? To combos? To feints? To lateral movement?
-What is their bread and butter? Fighters do certain things out of habit, be it the things they do well or the things they revert to when they are losing.
The most important thing is the paper/rock/scissors aspect. The lesser fighter must adapt and align his strengths with the opponent's weaknesses. That's what boxing is all about.
