    I knew that Sanders was going to starch Wlad.

    I'd seen what his potential was and what he could do, and I had no doubt that even at his age, he had enough for one last fling of the dice. I was disappointed as heck at the condition that he showed up in against Vitali though.

    I had this too.

    My most bang on prediction though was Marquez-Diaz I. I picked the round, the winner (obviously) and the key punch. Retrospectively, this seems an obvious pick, but at the time that was not the case.

    Nearly as good was Froch-Taylor, I had that in detail, but I had the 11th.

    Not many I guess. Knew Cotto was going to dominate Sergio Martinez in their fight

    Yeah but didnt know that myself, nor did many other seem to know since there was a lot of talk that Sergio was gonna win it for sure

    But honestly, even though I didnt know about his legs, reason for my pick was probably because I underrated him a bit. I guess I havent hold him as high regard as many others back then

    Cotto made a habit of fighting injured opponents One legged Yuri Foreman & One eyed, from rpund 2, Tony Margarito, Still cpuldnt beat Tony legitimately though. Had to rely on that NY docs suspect stoppage when Tony was beating his chest at Cotto

    dont **** on honeyghans best performance
    honeyghan knocked seven shades of **** out of curry in that fight from the opening rounds

    hurt him bad in the second where curry did well to stay up and tattooed curry all over the place in the 6th having him badly hurt and hanging on

    honeyghan clearly won virtually every 30 secs of all 6 rounds

    curry went back to his corner in the 6th shaking his head / clearly indicating IMO that he did not want it anymore

    honeyghan just matched up well v curry

    he was herky jerky and hard for curry to time him
    he had faster hands and a much higher workrate

    also haoneyghan timed currys chin very well with right hands and uppercuts on the inside/ was the stronger man and just had his number

    curry had never faced anyone like that before

    starling /jones/mccrory /a few mexicans from memoryt all very good fighters but did not bring what honeyghan brought to the table v curry style.

    the excuse i heard from currys people after the fight / was that he was weight drained and should have been fighting at light middle / he was touted to fight hagler before the honeyghan fight

    IMO curry was too highly rated at the time .

    Tony Thompson beating Price in their first fight, as well as Tyson Fury beating Wladimir. People here called me crazy.

    i saw many fights of tony thompson / thought price would chin him.

    who new that price chin is sadly very very poor .

    thompson shots for the fights were basically arm punches /
    saw price stopped by stiverne in the amatuers and again in another tournament but he simply cannot take any kind of punch and needs to land first.
