i told everyone who would listen that tarver would win the first bout and everyone was ragging on me. I watched the fight with 20 ppl, and they were all talking ****. after the 12th, the room was silent.
I saw alot of Alcine's fights and knew when I saw Simms against Riveira that he would not be able to control the range against Alcine. btw after the fight we found out in the papers that Alcine had a stomach flu for 3 or 4 days leading into the fight and he said in a post fight interview that he was at about 70% I would also pick Alcine to easily beat Forrest but probably lose against Spinks.
Not much of an upset but I called Holyfield over Tyson years before it actually happened. Tyson always had his best luck with bigger, slower targets. Someone like Holyfield who wasn't afraid of fighting inside, had an iron chin himself and great stamina would wear out Tyson eventually. And Holyfield always had his own great left hook.
I called Buster of Tyson years before but before you rip me a new one let me explain lol I was very excited about him as a prospect but as i began to watch him more i said... When tyson meets a guy who has height and reach and a good jab he would lose... Def didnt expect it to come in that fight particularly but when i look back on it now it doesnt surprise me
Holyfield to beat Tyson at 24/1? I had a tenner on that in fight one. Picked Douglas to go more than 8 rounds with Tyson; but no way could he win.
Let's see.... off the top of my head... Douglas over Tyson... Baldomir over Zab... Sanders over Wlad...
