    I don't do it that often (or at least I don't post about it), but I think tend to get the key factors in deciding the fights pretty close when I give the fight my proper attention.

    I would say that I have two main weaknesses judging fights, the first being where one of the boxers I don't know much about, or haven't watched in ages, because I simply don't have time to go and do more research so any prediction is going to be based on very limited information. I admit I've made that mistake a couple of times recently...but I hope I drew attention to the fact that I was making a prediction without adequate info.

    The second is when a fight seems like a no-brainer on paper, I don't tend to pay it much attention (since I don't enjoy watching mismatches), so I'll miss the chance to call out an upset with justifiable evidence.

    I think I can do a pretty good job on pretty close fights where there is a lot of bias and emotion involved in other people's picks, I'd like to think I can shut that kind of stuff out.

    That said, I'm sure I've made some pretty stupid picks before.

    I have watched lots and lots of fights so I think I got a pretty good idea to see when a missmatch is happening, this is an bad example since an blind man can see what is wrong with this but Wladimir klitschko vs Jean marc mormeck.

    That was one that I got right at least ;)I thought a lot of people picked Toney just because they wanted him to win. My worst pick recently is probably Boswell over Povetkin :lol: I was sure that Povetkin had lost steam, no motivation, and Boswell was largely underated and had looked sharp recently...but I was a bit off the mark.:?
