Predicting Fights.

I just phone paul the octopus

 

Your'e over complicating things a tad. I like to get to the heart of the matter without too much terminology.
The way I look at is -
A)What punches can fighter A land on B. What effect will they have and will that superceede what fighter B is throwing back at A. Then you throw in the intangibles like chin, stamina, mental toughness.

B) Is the fight in Texas?

 

is the boxer

a) slick and black

or

b) not slick and not black


if the boxer falls into category A then i put my weeks earnings on said fighter

 

usually you dont have to look into so deaply one is usually more tsalented plain and simple usually only when one can 'bang' or one has a suspect chin can i look at a upset (which is not always the case but 99%)

when 2 of equal talent come into play usually look at styles experience conditioning ect

 

Good option... but can't do that anymore, he's been dead for a while now.
He would probably have prevented me from losing a lot of vmoney at the Pacquiao vs Ford & Ross fight :!:

 

Heads or tails the way judges read fights !!

 

I wouldn't bet on boxing due to the consistently shite decisions we see. I don't want to be annoyed by my fighter being robbed as well as me

Just realised you meant predicting not betting my bad.

 

One thing you didn't mention; mentality.

 

Mentality/attitude towards boxing fall under lifestyle or did you mean something else

 

Ah I didn't realise that fell under lifestyle. For example, Zab Judah lives a good lifestyle/keeps in shape but when push comes to shove in the ring he is found wanting i.e mayweather fight/khan/cotto fight. Mentally he is weak when the chips are against him, much like Ortiz. Contrast that with someone like Lewis/Gatti/Corrales or Khan even who have the natural instinct to keep going no matter what and never look for a way out - it's not in their DNA

 

I never make a prediction until I've seen what car a boxer arrives to the arena in.

 

what if its 2 slick & black fighters, fighters each other?! your method is flawed

 

No your right that doesn't really fit under lifestyle I thought you meant how dedicated they were to boxing and if they were living the life.

What your talking about fits under heart in the 2nd tier though

An overlooked variable

 

C) Is the German fighter fighting in Germany?
