    I'm paying the price for my only bad prediction, as evidenced from my super-exclusive, limited-time only, "special edition" Sergio Martinez avatar...

    Khan Vs Garcia

    expected easy Khan decision or late TKO...

    Would say the same thing in a rematch though...

    By far the worst I've ever done is Darchinyan-Mijares. Almost the exact opposite fight I expected, and expected with confidence.

    I was a bit too hopeful with Hopkins going up against Dawson as well, but at least he didn't get ****ing thrashed.

    I thought Chisora would do better against Haye

    I thought Pac would blow Marquez away in the 3rd fight

    Holyfield vs Toney

    Toney going up from cruiser where even there he looked flabby. I felt he just would'nt have any type of firepower to keep even a badly faded Holyfield off of him.

    Toney actually ended up stopping Holyfield by being slippery and having great stamina. In instances where Holyfield needed a breather, Toney would not let him take a break and would take the initiative and take the fight to Holyfield.

    I was dead wrong in that fight as I did not know Toney's capabilities as a heavyweight.
    I thought Hollyfield would stop Toney in the mid rounds not knowing Toney had the physical capacity to take a real heavyweight punch as the Samuel Peter fights later showed us.

    Although I didn't go as far as to predict a Salita win, I said he would cause Khan problems.

    I can't really think of a terrible prediction I made. The only thing that springs to mind is thinking Kessler would have too much for Ward.

    Well, it's not a prediction to be ashamed of. It turned out quite different than most expected.
