Hahahahaha BigBone you genious! You deserve it! (Oh BTW I still made money and WHAT? Salido upset Lopez? Lol, anyone saw that coming?)
Alright so just to recap. We have had about 50 Upset of the Year candidates, 20 FOTY canidates, 10 ROTY candidates. Just an amazing year so far. Just amazing. Another great night of boxing.
Big props to Victor Ortiz and Andre Berto. Those 6 rounds were just ****ing brutal and just bloody awesome. Every punch was a KO punch. Just great big props to both fighters. And Victor Ortiz pretty much just like Ricky Hatton when he fought Tzsyu. That was about the closest I have seen since Hatton somebody fighting with such desire that they were not going to be denied. Big props to both fighters for a great war.
:huh Huh, nobody took Salido? That's surprising....I thought for sure at least a handful of people would have Salido winning.
Well that's the competative nature of this league. You might want to choose the upset, but dont because you dont want to lose your rank. (Though I must admit I didnt give Salido a chance in hell to win this. No way in hell.)
I think we were caught up in the hype, "can JuanMa pull an Mtagwa?", "how will their performances compare?" etc. But the Championship usually picks the favorites, too much punishment going for the upsets, you gotta be smart about it. We weren't. Oh well I think I had my best week compared to the opposition.
Yea, that's true too. Still I thought for sure Varg and Freddy were backing Salido winning. Huh, you're from Hawaii? Huh, I pegged you as a Philly guy....probably cuz you had B-Hop as an avatar for awhile. :yep Well, now I see why your into the Japanese scene. You're just a couple hours from Japan.
Well another week of upsets, kicking myself for not picking Ortiz and never saw the Lopez TKO coming despite all the warning signs. Gotta think Arum made a big blunder not making the Gamboa fight now. Still not a bad week overall, gotta be good for the rankings this year, upsets left right and centre, whoever wins this year well and truely deserves it for getting through the minefield

That one I wouldn't mind wearing either. Nice job by Ghost! Completely different topic: I predict that you will be the biggest Abner Mares fan ever come fight night. I also predict you're gonna take some off following that fight. Just make sure you put on your new avatar when you come back! :deal Spoiler This content is protected
