    Be honest now ****ers. It irks the **** out of me when I see fights where the winner was a 6-1 underdog but 95% of ****ers say they saw it coming.

    Hopkins vs Trinidad - I picked Tito. Up until that point it didn't apear to be a question as to if he would catch bhop but simply when. **** up until about the 7th round I still thought Tito had a chance here.

    Morales vs Raheem - I actually had Raheem in this one. I was so impressed with what I saw when he was robbed against Juarez that I knew his movment would give Morales hell

    Calzage vs Lacy - I picked Lacy mainly because I didn't know Calzage had a performance like that in him.

    Tyson vs Lewis - I think any rational person picked Lewis here. Only the die hard Tyson fans still thought he had a chance.

    Hatton vs Tzyu - I picked Tzyu. Hatton had really been fed tomato cans up until that point and I thought that such a big step up would prove too much for him.

    Y'all should be more like Emmanuel Steward. When the fight is over all you have to say is: "This is exactly how I predicited this fight"

    I picked Tito by KO, but only as I had seen almost nothing of BHop to that point.

    I picked Morales by decision, as Id seen nothing of Raheem.

    I picked Calzaghe by decision.
    Eubank told me Joe was the best fighter he'd faced, and would hand Lacy a beating, so give Chris the credit for my insight.

    I picked Tszyu by decision, and I think the middle rounds of the fight vindicated why I picked this.

    I knew Tyson had 2 rounds to get Lewis out of there, and thought he would, but at the end of round 1, knew it was over.

    I picked Hopkins and knew he was too versatile for Tito.

    In fact, around that same time, Tua squared off against Byrd, and I parlayed a bet picking Byrd (Tua was favored) and Hopkins (Tito was like a 4:1 favorite). I got screwed, though, because the Tito-Hops fight was pushed back from Sept 15 tyo Sept 29....and with the date change, I only received winnings on Byrd's victory over Tua!

    :twisted:

    That parlay would have paid nicely...

    I picked Morales, and was shocked by the outcome. Admittedly, I didn't know a hell of a lot about Raheem.

    I didn't have a strong opinion on this one way or another, but I picked Lacy. Calzaghe winning didn't surprise me so much as the way he won.

    I picked Lewis.

    I picked Tszyu, and this was another one that shocked me.

    I picked Hopkins- Felt Trinidad was too small for him.

    Picked Raheem- Never saw Morales beating a bigger slick boxer. He was looking a little worn to me.

    Picked Calzaghe- I never thought Lacy was a great fighter....gets hit way to much, which would be fine (he has a great chin) if he could box.

    Picked Lewis- I didn't even think about this one.

    Picked KT- Didn't think Hatton was ready for KT's level or power.
