    Recently for me it's been Hopkins vs Calzaghe, for the longest time I thought it was a **** decision and that Hopkins had done enough to win the fight but having seen the fight again recently (twice) the decision of the judges was probably correct. Going back and looking at rounds 6-12 was painful as Hopkins just ran out of gas and was only sporadically answering Calzaghe's flurries and losing most of the latter rounds, in the end I think the SD loss was probably an accurate reflection of the fight for Hopkins.

    I initially thought kotelnik rightly got the decision against maidana. Upon a second viewing i gave it to maidana.

    Also groves vs degale. Initially had degale by 1 point. Now i believe groves edged it

    Bowe-Holyfield 2.

    I remember seeing it as a kid, and although I was happy Evander won, I thought Bowe did enough to win. I watched it years later and had it even.

    I watched it a month or so ago and had it 115-114 for Evander.

    Very close fight regardless. Another example of how you should take Compubox with a grain of salt. It had Bowe outlanding Holyfield by 100 or so punches.

    Wlad vs. Haye

    I don't know what the hell was wrong with me, but somehow I only gave Wlad 9 rounds the first go around.

    Winky vs Hopkins. I was at the fight sitting in the nose bleeds. I couldn't get a good view of Hopkins inside work and had it too close. Got home, rewatched it and scored it wider for Hopkins.

    All the time, usually if I'm drunk and I want a certain fighter to win I'll give them rounds for **** all :D

    I did it in the Wlad Haye fight to, I gave Haye a few rounds then around round 8 I thought wtf am I doing here.

    I had Barrera beating Marquez,but I think that was "favourite fighter syndrome",had to reconsider second time.

    Then you went from a potentially intelligent, insightful boxing purist to a rather dim, naive and easily influenced chump.

    Congrats :good

    PS: For years I thought Barrera beat Morales in their 1st fight, but now I see that the fake KD was the only thing which snatched MAB a draw.

    i'm curious to see if i go back on the Pac-Marquez fight, that night, while drunk, i scored it 7-5 Marquez, but i'm sure when i watch it again sober this saturday i'll have it 7-5 Pac or something like that...

    Morales got the nod when I thought MAB won clearly.The opposite happened second time around for me.I thought the first two fights could and maybe should have been reversed decision wise.

    It's a myth. Re-watch the first fight, you'll be surprised.
