Predictions you got VERY wrong.

Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk, both times.

 

I had Brett Lally beating Donald Curry. Curry was fresh off a loss to Rene Jacquot in a fight in which he looked shot, really having no legs. I thought Lally would rough him up and stop him. Curry blew him out in round 2, in a very one-sided fight.

Also had Ruddock stopping Lewis, and Simon Brown stopping the fragile-chinned Pettway.

 

I thought that were going to turn Adam Kownacki into a big draw. Mind you, I never thought he was a great fighter, or anything, but I thought they would match him well and sell him to the rabid Polish fan base that always turned out for Golata. I saw him as marketable after the Charles Martin win.

Then they threw him in there with Helenius and that was the end of that.

Toney-Jones would be the biggest fight that comes to mind where I was spectacularly wrong.

Liston v Ali 1

Benn v McClellan

 

How did you see the bout going and why? I’m just curious, I wasn’t around for but I can sort of see why.

 

I thought that fight was a horrible mismatch, in the favour of the much bigger ODLH, at the time, too.

 

I lost a lot of money betting on McCllennan to beat Beñn,so I reckon it's that one

 

I thought Gerald was going to take Nigel out early as well, Noel.

Come to think of it, I've got plenty of predictions wrong over the years.

 

Plenty sadly.

To the point I go into fights not being surprised at outcomes at top level.

 

Holyfield vs Lewis I. Didn't expect Lewis to dominate that fight the way he did; the judges screwed him bad!

 

I picked Rolly too MOSTLY out of spite but still.

 

And I liked Ruiz's odds enough to attend the fight with Joshua, even if I didn't pick him.
