Classic Forums Thoughts on Pac-DLH

What the ****'s CROW?

 

Typical. You're acting like you got the prediction right.

 

:bowdown

 

Absolutely excellent. Well done sir.

 

Come on mate. Nothing up with those posters who go the prediction wrong. The only one that needs pulling up on it is that Flamengo.

 

That's the same with virtually any fighter with that stance, who's stepping up a few weights though. He then goes on to say the "speed advantage will be very slight". :huh


It's the 'tone' of the post. "I knew..." is basically how he starts it.

 

Some people can't grasp 'tone' as others can. :good

He's done it before with a big fight a few months ago: "I said that would happen" when he never, really.

 

:good
called to atee.

 

No worries. One of my great bugbears is people trying to get some credit when getting a prediction wrong- there was a classic example. The sentence should really have started with "well, I didn't expect that" with a mention of the speed further down the line, perhaps, instead of jumping straightaway in what he "knew". However he 'really' said the speed wasn't a significant factor.

Against the odds as well as the strong trend of the thread Stone comes thru. He even went to great (and rather accurate) lengths with the why's and how's.

One of the best predictions i have seen in here, possibly the best.

 

Well, I was wrong about the outcome. I consider my post to be 70% accurate though.

Kudos to the Pac-man for mixing great strategy with great tenacity. I blame Oscar for mucking up my prediction. Who would have thought that he'd quit? I may not have envisioned the beating he got from Pacquiao, but I imagined he was made of sterner stuff than what he showed this day-- shot or not.

 

I expected either a pacman points win or a 4 or 5 round DLH ko. Completely shocked, but very happy at the result.

 

This was the deciding factor if there was one. Oscar actually came in a pound and a half under Manny, who'd have guessed it? Truthfully, when I heard that DLH had toned himself down to that extent, I thought he had one of those old tricks up his sleeve, had forgotten how smart Oscar is, a guy who's reinvented himself more than Madonna. But turns out that was a big mistake. Who'd have thought Oscar would actually be outgunned? Only a good fight because of the two names up in the ring. If we'd never heard of Oscar, today we'd be saying that the fight never should have been made. Pacquiao's straight left up the middle controlled the fight. I liked Manny for this fight, but not in such a lopsided way. Was always impressed with his heart, his desire, his everyready battery energy, but last night I watched a seasoned, intelligent, mobile and proficient technician, and now I really am impressed. Sky's the limit!

 

I was one T and 7 rounds away from being right.
