    Fights where you thought the fighter would get the ko eventually but didn't get it?

    What comes to mind is the light hitting Chris Byrd with his slapstick fury trying to outbox Jameel mccline. I genuinely thought the light puncher was touching mccline and affecting him to the point where he could hurt the gentle giant. Mind you mccline was a very late starter in the sport (20s I believe) but yeah he was known as the gentle giant and I thought Chris was gonna press for the kayo...

    And then since I watched it yesterday, Pacquiao vs Mosley, after the KD in the third or fourth I thought PAC was gonna press for the ko. BUT sugar Shane kept backing up, trying to stay away from Pacquiao s punches for the remainder of the fight which was still a long time till the 12th bell. I guess Shane was credited for a kd in methinks round 8 which was obviously a push, sending Pacquiao to the canvas for the fifth knock down if his career. But yeah , Shane had been put into retreat mode and pacman didn't get the kayo.

    Canelo vs Munguia

    I thought Canelo was going to blast him out before round 6. It didn't happen and that was surprising to me given Munguia's Swiss cheese defense. Then Munguia get blasted out by a guy with a 16% KO percentage, which is even more surprising.

    Wilder and Fury and buddy I knew it. I didn't think Wilder would outbox or stand toe to toe well but I figured he'd land that kabosh and Fury'd stay down because Wilder's kinematic chains are super underrated and very impressive and Fury's been KD'd by undersized scro's with far less power.

    That phantom overhead Fury STILL can't see coming.

    Obvs, I ate so much Crow you can call me Lakota.

    The only other boxers I really went to bat for because I just knew they'd win were Mayweather and Ward so I was real ****ing confident and that confidence is what got me so many told ya so's it'd be years before I could post again without being handed a shiny new one. :lol:

    I regret nothing. It was fun and some of the Fury fans are kinda my bros now. The giving you **** for it becomes playful, eventually. Usyk's fans have been pretty great tbh and Joshua's fans seem to have largely just left.

    I felt completely certain that Matthysse was going to scramble Judah. Other fighters do not care about our feelings.
