    Countless times !! Fancied upset for some and thought others was going to be complete mismatch.
    Off top of head best I can think of ..

    At the time though a lot of people though RR would give Canelo huge problems due to the middleweight factor, so I don’t think you were alone there mate, but he never got going at all. I remember an absolutely clueless Coldwell as his head trainer had no advice when he needed it most. Might aswell have not been there.

    Yeh that's what I was thinking at the time I suppose! Also his awkwardness and his power when knocking Jamie Moore out etc, and with canelo being a young kid, so maybe not the worst call looking back.

    Nathan Gorman to beat Dubois, by TKO.

    I know absolutely nothing about boxing :)

    I predicted the same but at the same time I said I wouldn’t be shocked if Dubois KO’s him early! It’s one of them.

    I was just shocked at just how bad Gorman was. He capitulated mentally under them lights imo. He abandoned his discipline and decided to have a tear up with a huge puncher. Madness.

    Same, thought he'd school him. Dubois is a physical freak and just far too powerful.

    Mightily impressed with Dubois, but that was an easy night’s work for him that. Gorman barely threw a jab, so Dubois has a free reign to dictate the pace of the fight. If the plan was to lure Dubois in on the inside and catch him with a counter then that’s so so poor. Dubois outboxed the boxer. Quality from the lad.

    Also thought Gorman would give Dubois loads of trouble and win late or via decision.

    So true bud. I think Szpilka, Price and Rivas are going to win next Saturday. Guaranteed I get most if not all of them wrong.
