    A bit off topic but **** Austin Trout! (I actually love him)
    Picked Delvin Rodriguez over him. (Rodriguez fanboy at the time, blindly rooting for him)
    Picked Miguel Cotto over him.
    Picked him to beat Alvarez.
    Picked him to beat Lara.

    Trout then went on a 4 fight win streak, all easy to pick fights. But the first guy; Daniel mother****ing Dawson, decided that he wanted to flip the script and put Trout's ass on the canvas. Not once, but twice :lol: I went berserk. Why the **** can't I get a single Trout fight right? Luckily Trout kept his composure and scored the UD and a knockdown of his own.

    Then I picked Trout over both Charlos and Hurd. Credit to Hurd, it was a heck of a performance, but both Charlos got gifts. Horrible robberies.
    Especially Jermell. He couldn't land ****. You could see it in his composure and his corner as well. They saw what the commentator's didn't.

    And of course Gausha got the draw. Which I was expecting would be a W for Trout, but wasn't so sure about it.

    Same. Wilder has a knack for looking totally beatable and then pulling a rabbit holding a stick of dynamite out the hat.

    I had that with Bellew, until the Usyk fight of course.
    From Masternak on, I only favored him over one guy and that was Flores (obviously). And then he did much better as I expected despite eventually getting found out and KTFO by Usyk.

    How did I forget bellew the little arsehole.... Picked makubu to clatter him... Told everyone... End of round one I'm looking like a genius.. Few rounds later I've got a pub full of lads telling me I'm a mong who knows **** all about boxing

    Bellew vs haye 1.... Haye to separate his head from his shoulders.... Told every squaddie in Falklands that haye would do him in 3... Such was my confidence haye would destroy the pigeon chested belter I laid down 100 quid on haye in 3 in front of everyone in the Workshop...

    My roommate who knew nothing about boxing had a tenner on bellew in rounds 9-12.

    Can't put into words how happy I was to see usyk starch him

    Hurd, I picked against him in every title fight he had. Then the very first fight I picked him to win, he lost :facepalm:
