Your worst predictions...

1.Predicting Eubank Jr to beat groves, bought into the hype of Eubank Jr way to much honestly. Thought he had the ability and youth to win that fight. Big mistake from me

 

I thought Barrett would be the man to dethrone limited Valuev. I also thought the same about Liakhovich and Valuev.
Finally, Chagaev proved me right.

I thought and told everyone, Froch vs. Abraham would be fireworks and AA bouncing back from his losing effort against Dirrell, because he had, well, nothing to lose. I convinced non-fans to watch that.

EDIT: Of course, the obvious one: Haye-Bellew.

 

Haye v Bellew (twice) completely blinded by my hatred of all things Bellew.

 

1. Brook to beat Spence- Spence had only beaten nobodies so I thought Brook would win.

2. Wilder to KO Fury early rounds - I've always thought Wilder was overrated who had been outboxed by average fighters before he was able to KO them. However I thought even Wilder would have enough to KO an out of shape, featherfisted and glass jaw opponent in Fury. The fight went to show just how bad and protected Wilder is.

Haye vs Bellew - twice.

 

I almost went to Finland for AA-Froch. I was certain it was a must watch.
Got lucky with that one.

 

Biggest failure: Hatton V Mayweather. I really believed Hatton was just going to use a similar recipe to castillo 1 but be even stronger, ultimately bringing far too much pressure. Convinced my brother of this too... He hasn't forgiven me.

More recently: Selby V Warrington... "I've seen him train, I know he's too much for Warrington"... Never seen Warrington train though, clever boy me. Brother still hasn't forgiven me.

 

I thought Mayweather would look like he did vs Gatti when he fought McGregor. But nah...he completely phoned it in. Or maybe the ability was gone, idk, but I’m going to stick to my promise that I’ll never watch the fight again. Once was enough.

 

Frampton vs Warrington
Hatton vs Paq
Ohara Davies vs Josh Taylor
I thought Canelo would beat GGG in the first fight, that was slightly embarrassing

 

I've been wrong so many times...........

Dawson vs. Stevenson: I mean.............smh
Allen Green vs. Miranda: I'll still never understand, Green held every advantage except power.
Lacy vs.Calzaghe: I thought Calzaghe would dominate until Jeff stopped him......welp
Gatti vs. Dorin: I thought Leonard Dorin would have a war and beat Gatti
Vernon Forrest vs. Mayorga 1 and 2: *facepalm*


That's just a few, I have a trail littered with incorrect assumptions of
fights........you just never really know.

 

Don't think yours are so bad at all.

Some of my stinkers include: Fielding to upset C Smith, Crolla to beat Linares (first fight), Wlad over Fury and Chisora over Fury

 

Hatton v Pac and more recently Jcc jr v CaneloI though it would be competitive
Oh yea Martinez vs Williams 2 though williams would get a ud

 

I thought Haye might overwhelm Wlad and Tyson might blow way Lewis.

 

Hagler over Leonard
Tyson over Douglas
Foreman over Morrison
Hammed over MAB
MAB over Pacquaio I
Trinadad over Hopkins
Lewis vs McCall and Rochman I
Lacey over Zags
Mosley over Forest
Margarito over Mosely
GGG over Alvarez I and II

And with that track record, it's why I do NOT bet!!

 

None of these are really bad (except Fielding). I think everyone thought Wlad would beat Fury, and Chisora had
a good run until Fury so I get that as well.

 

I thought Golovkin wasnt going to get robbed again in the second fight, boy was I wrong
