atsch I predicted judah would beat Cotto but I did win a nice little sum on Holy beating Tyson (first fight):-((
I Think that was one of the upsets that surprised me the most the whole time I've been watching boxing. I don't remember anyone picking forrest there.
Hopkins(Hopkins is bigger than Tito, and is a good defensive fighter) I had no prediction for Morales vs. Raheem Lacy(I had never even seen a Calzaghe fight before that one) Lewis(I was rooting for Tyson, but I didn't think he stood a chance) Tzyu(I had never seen Hatton fight before that fight)
All my friends thought I was crazy when I picked Forrest to beat Sugar Shane. They also thought he was unbeatable. Yeah, I know that amateur boxing is different than pro but Forrest beat Sugar Shane pretty easily in the amateurs, and I just had a feeling that Forrest height and jab would give him major problem again, and that Forrest had the style to beat him....I was right about the outcome.:yep Forrest almost knocked Sugar man out in the second round in their first fight....that was impressive:hey
I picked the following fights wrong: MAB vs Pac I - I picked MAB to school Pac. Darchinyan vs. Flash Donaire - picked Darchinyan by KO Morales vs. Pac 2 - predicted result same like the first fight. Hopkins vs. Taylor 1 & 2 - picked B-hop by UD
I didn't have a prediction for Hopkins v Tito , just didn't have a clue what would happen really . I picked Morales I picked Calzaghe(just barely though , I think I had Joe a 55/45 favourite with me) I picked Lewis I picked Hatton
Hopkins vs Trinidad - Tito. I totally underestimated Bernard Morales vs Raheem - Morales. I didn't know much about Raheem, so I went for the safe and obvious pick. Calzage vs Lacy - Lacy. I bought all the hype. Tyson vs Lewis - Lewis. I wouldn't say it was a no-brainer pick because of Tyson's power, but I didn't expect it to be all that close. Hatton vs Tzyu - Tzyu. I figured the powerful veteran would expose Hatton.
Hopkins UD Morales late TKO Lacy KO6 Lewis KO10 :roll: Tszyu TKO/KO4 :yep Bad batting average on those fights.:tong
Trinidad, i even went double or nothing in the 6th round i believe when Tito had a really good round.......then i handed the money at teh end of the 11......i didnt see the 12th
I'll be honest, people here know my process in analysing a fight for selecting a pick anyway. Hopkins, I won a bundle on it too. I picked Morales on this one. Made a thread before the fight that stated Lacy wouldn't win a single round, everyone laughed at me.:| I picked Lewis. I picked Tszyu also, he's an all time favourite, I thought he'd have KOed Hatton, but Hatton stepped up that night.
tito - i was not convinced about hopkins until after that fight morales - didn't even know who raheem was calzaghe - always pick the boxer over the puncher lewis - ditto tzyu - i didn't take into account that hatton would be allowed to break the rules
I thought Trinidad would be too much for him. I of course thought Morales would beat Raheem with his skills. I had no idea how old Morales had gotten. I thought JC would outbox him, but not that badly. I thought Lewis would do to Tyson what he did to Tua. I thought Tszyu would be too strong and hit too hard for Hatton to make it 12 rounds.
