**** Kirk's Championship Boxing Prediction League 2016 ****

To be perfectly honest, I've thought Vincenzo has been doping for years as well, I think most of them are, but I tend to excuse the guys who've been consistently top performers because you just know they have talent, whereas I hold it against the guys like Kruijswijk and Froome who become killing machines overnight. It might not be fair of me but...:conf Some guys I like and some I don't. So I guess I'm biased. And I'm also assuming they're on some next level PED that they haven't discovered yet.

I thought of the Vino comeback as well, and I was just as excited for Vino when he did what he did, since I was a huge Vino fan and still am.

Valverde is the definition of a chronic underachiever, and he could probably do more, but I like him nonetheless.

 

I like them equally and in different ways, I have many dualities in taste across a spectrum of everything in my life, and sports is just another example of that.

Boxing is my violent yin that get my blood pumping and has always helped me to unleash all my copious amount of masculine aggression.:nut

Cycling is my meditative yang, that evens me out and helps me be less ADD and forces me to be calm and focus for 2 to 4 hours.

If I had to choose between the two, I couldn't.

 

It really annoys me when people just assume I think a lot of the guys I hype are undefeatable, when in reality that couldn't be further from the truth. I get this stupid, "oh I thought you thought that guy was the next big thing and would rule the ___ Division" repeatedly on the RBR's after a guy like Makabu, Martin and Barrera loses, that I've been hyping.

When I'm blowing smoke up a lot of these guys asses, no one ever asks me if I think the guy I'm hyping could beat anybody other than who I'm hyping him against.

For example I'm clearly a fan of Makabu and thought he'd beat Bellew relatively easy, and he almost did in the 1st, but I also think Makabu would LOSE to Usyk, Lebedev, Briedis, Dorticos, Gassiev, Glowacki and Huck, and fights between him and Kudryashov, Durodola and Drozd would be 50/50. But no one asked my opinion on that. Nor should they really care, but they do, because they want to throw in my face afterwards, they should attempt to get the answer.

Same for Barrera, I thought he was capable of being a moderate force at LHW, but I also thought before the Ward match he would lose via brutal KO to Kovalev, Beterbiev and Gvozdyk as well as to several other LHW's.

Ditto for Charles Martin.

The hype I give these guys is in direct proportion to how well I think they'll do against a given opponent, who I usually don't rate very highly, or in Ward's case debuting at LHW and being the smaller man in a division of big puncher's. I don't think they're world beater by any means, I just thought they might have a Bellew's number.

 

Damn...1st to 5th:verysad But that's okay, all it'll take is one win.:hey

 

I'm going to be so ****ing p***ed if Smith Jr. brutally KO's Fonfara and Pinoy didn't add it. Of course he doesn't KO Fonfara and loses I'll be happy as a clam.:yep

 

Yeah well.....I'll f*** him up sooner or later.:hey

 

Here for any Horror movie fan on this thread, feel free to check out my thread in The Lounge, in the next few days I'm going to be posting a lot of stuff on it. To say a lot of the stuff on this thread is obscure is an understatement.:yep

Yeah that's how close everyone in the top 6 are, one win is enough to shift you to the top. This is the closest Top Ten this far into the year in Kirk's history.
