    My list is endless..

    I had Ricky to beat Mitchell, then changed my mind like a mug..
    Bute/Froch i intially had Bute as the favorite and feared for Carl. As the fight got closer and watched some more of Bute i felt Carl could win. So was half and half..

    Groves DeGale was my worst one i spoke big and flopped like a granny's tits, Although i don't agree with the decision i still felt DeGale would of won in a better way then he did on my card.

    I to had Margarito to beat Mosley, I thought it would be a horrible mismatch TBH..

    Erm as i said, The list is endless for me!.

    I said in my days as Mandanda in a thread in the GF two years before the fight happened that Cotto would destroy Pacquiao and was to big and strong. Two years later i watched my boy smashed to bits..

    Edit: Kotelnik to stop Khan as well, I think i should stop posting :lol:.

    Abraham Froch, and Burns Mitchell. I got the result of the Burns Mitchell fight correct, but I felt it would be a horrible clash of styles, and it would be an ugly fight that would either go the distance, or end with Burns stopping Mitchell late.

    I went round a party with all my mates to watch Degale-Groves and told anyone who'd listen Degale would wipe the floor with him, you know the rest...

    BTW I haven't seen the Burns Mitchell fight yet, but from what I've heard it was an entertaining, action packed fight, which I did not expect at all.

    I had DeGale beating Groves, I still did after the 12 rounds, but I expected it to be a wider margin if not a stoppage.

    Audley Harrison vs David Haye. Harrison brainwashed the masses, and even I thought he'd do it. LMFAO fell for the hype job. :patsch

    Similar as the last one really, Ricky Hatton vs. Floyd Mayweather, I fell for the hype and thought Ricky would really do it. :scaredas:

    How wrong I was.

    I've learned from my mistakes though and lets face it, we've all done it. :lol:

    Hatton vs. Pac!

    In truth though, most of them.

    tbf im not too bad here, i picked froch over abraham and froch over bute, both getting me a little bit of money and i thought ricky burns would beat katsidis, but tbf i was well and truly on the david haye hype train against wlad, big time, and i thought chisora would beat haye, and chisora over fury

    I pick Liam Walsh to finish Ricky Burns in 1. Devastating fashion, Price vs. Harrison fashion.

    The dream is over, another one begins, Liam Walsh - No blueprint.

    Tyson Lewis anybody?

    Plenty but luckily I think in the fights I've had a strong enough opinion on to put on a proper bet, I've got more right than wrong. The fight I've lost most money on was Katsidis-Guerrero, I was convinced Katsidis would steamroller him. I also thought Martinez would stop Burns but luckily didn't bet on it. I thought Khan would beat Garcia abd Peterson relatively comfortably too for different reasons.

    Groves-DeGale is actually the one I'll never forget getting right, thanks to the 14-1 odds I got for Groves by pts :yep. It seems incredible to think Degale was that fancied looking back now.
