How often are you correct about your fight predictions?

I'm usually wrong. Mostly because I pick with my heart and not my head.

 

I'm usually right but then again the favorite usually wins. I don't pick too many of the big upsets like I was wrong on LAcy vs Calzage and DLH vs Pacquiao even hopkins vs trinidad.

 

True,this is the best way to predict a fight.Pick the fighter that Teddy picked against and you will be 90-95% accurate. I can't remember, did Atlas picked Hatton to beat Pac or he was right?

 

Well I hardly ever pick the ref, so 50/50!!

 

I have tracked myself over the past 4 years and I am at 88%. My problems is that I do not have any $$$ to show for my "skill".

By the way, I am taking Clottey by decision this weekend, for what its worth.

 

'Bout 60% (Big fight's only!)
ESPN...ect about 90%

 

Of paperveiw cards and undercards i can only remember being wrong twice, and that was with cotto margo, and DLH PAC. i usually can read it pretty well but those two i muffed up on pretty good. i always can predict the undercards within the first 30 seconds if i have never heard of the guys before.

 

80=90%

If Im confident about a fight, I usually always get it right. There are some fights where you are 50-50 on it but sway towards one fighter and thats usually where I go wrong. I was 50-50 on Margo-Cotto, I picked Cotto but that was more coin flipping for me, same with Bhop-Pavlik. Fights where I'm very confident in the winner usually always comes through, Pac-Hatton, Margo-Mosley, Soto-Guzman, JC-Lacy etc.

 

I just had a looooong streak stopped. Cintron ruined it.

 

Recent notable ones I have got wrong are -

De La Hoya-Pacquiao (Went for ODLH)
Margarito-Mosley (Went for Margarito)
Cotto-Margarito (Went for Cotto UD)

 

I predicted Jermain Taylor vs Winky Wright would be a draw. I predicted Sergei Lyakowich UD12 over Lamon Brewster.

 

I always get them right.

The only exceptions are when I get them wrong.

And those fights are, by definition, upsets.

 

I would say 85-90% of the the time I am right. I miss a lot end calls though. Most recent big one being Manny will beat Hatton but the TKO will happen late.

 

I'm at about 85% or 90% as well - my biggest problem at first (like someone else said earlier) was going with my heart and not my head. Biggest example was almost picking Sam Peter to beat Vitali Klitschko because I wanted Sam to get a belt and then take on Wlad to unify, even though Vitali had every possible advantage aside from ring rust.

My last big fail was Froch/Taylor - I get the feeling a lot of people got that one wrong. I think I had Pavlik beating Hopkins as well back when they fought.

 

I had a really good streak going back to about Pac-Morales I until I picked Cotto over Margarito last year. (Granted, I only made definite predictions on maybe about 10 fights in that time, but still...).

Then I had another problem when I picked Margarito over Mosley cause I thought from the Mayorga fight that Mosley's stamina was shot and that he might react badly to coming down in weight to 147 after splitting his time between 147 and 154 for the past 8 years or so. atsch

So, basically Margarito screwed me up twice in a row. :tong

On the other hand I predicted Marquez-Dian perfectly and Manny by TKO over Hatton, so maybe I'm starting to come back.
