    I know he was and I backed your statement with a sarcastic follow up. It's not like we knew anything about Baldomir to begin with, I didn't even know he was a pressure fighter for example, which is Judah's undoing, then add to the fact Zab's training and preparation, this is not even a serious thing.

    Lance is getting at the fact that I still rate Zab Judah though.

    But you all forget the amount of times that I have made bold predictions, only nail them spot on when the majority of people were playing it conservative and acting like they couldn't select a winner. We can focus on the wrong picks, in the vast sea of spot on picks.

    I like to make bold predictions, right or wrong.

    Amsterdam....I think Lance is trying to make a point that others have made before. You can be overbearing when you think you are right on a pick or a fight that has yet to happen. Even to the point of saying you KNOW you are right and that the other person just can't see it. Well, then in the cases you were wrong you are going to have to bite the bullet. I said this to you before when we were discussing Clottey vs Judah. I won't take your word for it no matter what you say because you are capable of being wrong just as I am. But you do press on about things when you think you are right...even when you can't prove it.

    And Lance....come on now, NO ONE bet on Baldomir to beat Judah. Baldomir's mother was seen in Vegas before the fight secretly betting on Judah for godsakes.

    All I am trying to say is....this whole thing is unnecessary.

    It's all about JT following Uncle Manny's orders when Pav applies the pressure...Notably, Steward has seemed frustrated in the corner of Taylor at times, for his lack of application of Manny's instructions.

    Surely, Manny "Band-Aid" Steward will have devised a perfect gameplan for dealing with Pav...I don't doubt this at all. What's questionable is Taylor's resolve to adhere the plan plan.

    If it goes to the cards Hollywood Boxing Office will reward their pet another gift decision.

    Dear KG, I fully realise the consequence/reward factor of bold, arrogant predictions, but it's just the way I am, nothing is going to stop them from coming out into play from my end. The reason this is the way it is, everyone has a posting format/personality and this stems from years of having immense success and hitting things spot on, but I don't seek to insult other posters, this is all just fun discussion.

    It is unnecessary, but all of the frequent ESB posters should be well used to my format by now, most are in fact.

    Nothing wrong with bold pick and I applaud your gumption for making them. I admit ther have been some fights I really couldn't say one way or another. However, smugness is a trait I just do not like at all.

    Thank you for eloquently posting what I was trying to say KG.

    As for Judah - Baldomir, I agree. I even picked Judah. That was just to show NO ONE is 100%, no matter how often they pat their own back.

    But just as they are aware of how you are, you must be aware that your process of explaining your picks can often come off as smug and be aware of their thoughts just as they are aware of yours. I am not saying change it, just don't be surprised by their reaction.

    I know how I come off and certainly am not surprised by the people who don't like me on this board. They all tend to have the same personalities anyways....

    I have a cemented opinion for all fights and will throw it, I LOVE the fight picking game, I really do. It's really not a big deal though.

    It depends on the mood, if I am in a joking mood then I'll post some overbearing/off the wall stuff. If I am in a serious mood then I can be boringly objective, I am sure you've seen both.

    This is a forum, objectivity gets old fast.
