nope. my avatar is the result of another bet im honoring. but, in the interest of truth, ive stayed away from usyk threads because of that post. i dont think what i saw changed what i thought was correct. i cant think of a worse game plan they could have given aj. but thats not usyks fault, and i appreciate his skills much more than i did before, and admit i underestimated them. and i am a fan now. but if i talk about him positively, while feeling how i still feel about what happened, i will feel like a fake and doubletalker. so i honor what i said, cause i am truly a fan now, but i still see aj as a favorite. and dont misunderstand me, im not an aj fan, never have been, this is strictly an intellectual analysis, no feelings involved. its just obvious to me after ruiz and then usyk, that ajs team is worthless at this level. hes an a- fighter with a c level team. thats why im making a $500 bet on aj, with a new trainer, in the rematch. cause its what i truly believe, and the first fight didnt show me what i needed to see, in order to see that i was wrong. i dont fanboy or blow smoke up my own ass, i follow what i believe to be true, independent of how i feel about the players. and if im still wrong, it would still be a handful of times over many years of predictions. i dont trust my instincts because of self absorption, i trust them because of results.
