How often are you correct about your fight predictions?

Edit

 

Around 75%

My recent wrong predictions were Froch/Taylor and Miranda/Ward.

 

I will be honest ive got loads wrong.Usually in the big fights that casual boxing fans watch.I think the last one i got right was vittali v Gomez which was hardly a shocker.I had Hatton to beat pac and Margo to beat mosley they are the 2 worst that spring to mind of late.

 

Among big fights I'd say 50/50.. if you add in all other smaller fights I watch where the outcome is more predictable I'm right about 80% of the time. :yep

 

I used to be better when I was 2 years into studying boxing. But now I am terrible. I think I try to pick an upset more than actually who will win the fight.

 

with Hatton I was correct but usually I have been way off. I should use logic instead of trying to be brilliant.

 

Im usually right, my biggest wrongs were, Lacy-Calzaghe and ODLH-Pac, which I think is acceptable cuz looking back I haden't seen much of Calzaghes fights and he wasn't that impressive as compared to Lacy. The Oscar-Pac fight is probably my biggest error, but bottom line, the Oscar that I knew over the years was not the same one against Pac.

 

I usually predict every Brit to win (in Brit vs Brit's, the person closest to where I live), so I've been wrong about Hatton - PBF/Pac, Amir - Prescott but not Jennings - Cotto (that was a wash).

 

I'm right more often than not but I'm hardly accurate enough to consider a career as a professional gambler.
Sometimes I'll over-analyse a fight instead of just stepping back and picking the "obvious" choice.
Whenever I'm on a great run of predictions, I'll make a spectacularly bad prediction (Lyakhovic over Valuev) that brings me back down to earth.

 

About 80%, I'm about 60-12 on Rummy's prediction league. I was doing really good with big fights recently: had Pac, Williams, Froch, Chambers, Arreola winning, was wrong about Angulo though.

 

Probably 50-50 I guess, I don't know.

I've always been happy with my Wlad UD12 Peter prediction, even though a lot were predicting doom for Wlad there. I just felt it would be Lewis-Tua all over again, and it was kind of a 'lite' version of that plus knockdowns.

I never predicted Calzaghe vs Lacy because I didn't give a damn about Calzaghe, though I know Lacy was favoured.

Off the top of my head, most recently I screwed up with Hatton-Pacman.

 

If I know the fighters then very accurate. By betting success rate is very very good, making a lot of money off small bets with good odds.

IE

Mayweather to knock out Hatton rounds 9-11
Margarito to knock out Cotto rounds 10-12
Vitali to knock out Peter rounds 7-12 (would have made a lot more if he hadn't quit before the 9th)
Pac to knock out De La Hoya 9-12 (just missed this one, would have made a fortune had DLH come out for the 9th) - this, though i didnt get it spot on, is my proudest moment. no one except *******s thought pac was going to win but I knew Oscar was too old to make 147 effectively and pac would be too much for him

Havent always got it right though

Pavlik to knock out Hopkins 10-12 (!!!!!!!!)

 

Hmmnnn... Maybe 70%... I love underdogs that's why I got correctly those biggest upsets happening in recent times and I also got a good record on big fights...

Williams over Margcheat
Margcheat over Cotto
Donaire over Darchinyan
Darchiyan over Mijares
PAC over DLH
PAC over Hatton
JMM over Barrera
Campbell over JuanDiaz
Caballero over Molitor
Peñalosa over J-Gonzalez
and many more...

For this weekend, I pick Clottey and Rodel Mayol to win... You know, the underdogs...
.

 

I had Froch winning over Taylor, had Hopkins beating Tarver and Pavlik, had Pacquiao beating Hatton. Overall, my record has been about 80-90%.
