Humble yourself time : What fights have you predicted, and got badly wrong?

I tought Lemieux would have destroyed Alcine inside 3...Boy I was wrong.

 

The most notable one for me was Hatton - Pac. I gave Hatton a very good chance of winning and saw it as a real pick 'em fight.

Some poster came on here and predicted Pac would spark Hatton in one round and we all laid into him. He wasn't far off, either.

The other fight that springs to mind is Pac - DLH. I thought Oscar would destroy Pac. I lost a **** load of vcash on that one.

 

Thought Echols was going to KO Mundine
Green was going to KO Tarver
Mosley was going to KO Forrest
I thought Judah was going to beat Tszyu

 

I was predicting the EXACT same thing and we all saw how that one turned out. I thought Mosely would expose Canelo, even though Mosley was way past it at the time. I thought Maidana would knock out Alexander.

 

Bute v Froch, I had Bute by domination.

 

i gotta add one on to my list . and i kno im not the only who predicted . but i had margarito beating mosley.

 

some that quickly come to mind

Hasegawa over Jhonny Gonzalez

Calderon over Segura I

Abraham over Froch (like many, I thought AA might KO him, I started having second thoughts after re-watching Froch-Pascal, but stuck to my guns)

Kessler over Ward-like another poster said about being taught a lesson about Bute, fighters can look really good against weaker comp....I didn't know what to expect, I thought jumping in with Kessler was too soon

I thought Paquiao was going to destroy JMM in the 3rd fight.

Cotto over Paquiao

 

Thought Khan would breeze past Peterson and Garcia

One lucky punch and some steroid pellets later Khan's career is hanging in the balance. Really unlucky year for him

 

mitchell vs burns: i thought kevin would of learnt from his past mistakes and stuck to a solid game plan. no. he threw that left hook from too far outside and kept looking to land bombs. burns turned it on real good.

trinidad vs vargas: even though trinidad is one of my favorite fighters and i wanted him to win, i thought vargas would simply use his boxing ability and not stand in front of tito. use the plan that de la hoya started, and stick to it. get the win, and look great next time out as a super star. instead, we got a macho vargas who stood right in front of him, and... well, you know the rest.

barrera vs jr jones: i thought that jones wouldn't be able to stand up to the ferocious attacks from barrera. that his chin wasn't good enough. well i was proven wrong. and again in the rematch.

 

Good god man, you expect to remember them all??

 

Bradley v Pac. Pac should have knocked his ass out, since Tim never backs down and was made for Pac. Bradley fought a different fight than usual and more than held his own. I thought Pac won it though.

Ward dominating Froch. I thought Froch would test Ward, but it seems Ward is head and shoulders above anybody in his division.

I wasn't wrong about the winner, but I thought Ward vs Dadson would a boring ass fight. Ward pleasantly surprised me with his first exciting performance.
