    I have a certain trend to favour the losing fighter in the first fight for the second fight.

    For example, I was massively routing for Kelly Pavlik vs Jermain Taylor but completely turned a Taylor fan for the rematch.

    Possibly one of my biggest switches was the Roy Jones vs Antonio Tarver trilogy. After seeing Tarver not get the decision in the first fight I really wanted him to win the 2nd one but after he got the KO win I turned into a massive Roy Jones fan and willed him on for the 3rd.

    Anyone else have that trend ?

    Well -- when JT caught that body shot in the 11th during Pavlik/Taylor II, I involuntarily let out an "Oh No!"

    I rooted for Sergio Mora as a joke against Forrest, mainly because he was hated by everyone at the time and I figured "What the hell? It'll be funny."

    Then he won...and I realized that to make up for my error, I had to switch to rooting on Forrest in the 2nd fight.

    I switched to the winner. I was really pulling for both fighters when they each had their moments. It was Gatti/Ward II. I had always been a Gatti fan, but in the second fight I was on even ground. Being there was great too. I was there with my dad. It was a great moment to remember spending with him.

    I must admit i thought Cintron had a chance in the return with Margo.I certainly would not have put money on it or posted it on here at the time,but im being honest i quietly thought he would stop Margo.I was horribly wrong.I did pick Holyfield in the Bowe rematch though and that i did have some cash on.

    Same here I rooted for Pavlik in the first fight and really hoped Taylor would win in the second fight.

    I was going for Casamayor in the first Corrales fight and changed to Chico in the rematch.
