    Come on, you know damn good and well I don't do this with every fight, I wanted so badly to switch to Corrales and Casimero I could taste it, and the only reason I switched to Gutierrez and Mosley is because I figured they'd get the judges favor, my instincts are usually fairly spot on. I was even getting doubts about Makabu. Granted Sillakh was a very stupid long shot that backfired big time, but let's not act like Vlasov is some kind of world beater either, if he could take his power, he would have outboxed him.

    Yeah I know its a risk, and his chin may give out, but I don't think Kucher has scary power, its probably a little less than McKenzie or at the same level, and if that's the case Enzo can survive.

    Well in reality Mosley/Gutierrez were good picks considering both guys were robbed by the judges so you can't really go that route.

    Yes but still they were close ass fights that could be near draws, and I figured they'd maybe do enough to edge it and score controversial wins, but I deserve a ton of credit for the Corrales near pick.:lol: I was saying from the time that match was announced Corrales had the style to give Uchiyama nightmares, I should have gone with my gut, but I was basically in 1st place and didn't want to risk it.:patsch


    I almost hate being ranked so high, it inhibits me.:lol:

    Yeah well, I was almost right, had the first round been a little longer Bellew probably would have been KTFO. Don't feel bad almost everyone else went with Bellew as well.

    Bellew/Makuba was like Rockhold/Bisping II.. No one saw that coming. Well.... Rockhold/Bisping II was actually more of a shocker. These damn Brits need to cut it out with these fluky upsets, killing fantasy for me. :lol:

    Wlad. I think he's going to come out more aggressive and knock him out. Furys path to victory relies almost completely on Wlad doing nothing and not wanting to fight. When Wlad finally turned it on Fury nearly folded. Wlad KO5

    Oh yeah... And contrary to the claims of some that was in no way a 'schooling' Fury won by outworking Wlad just SLIGHTLY. Even then it was only by 2-3 rounds.

    If Fury gets him with those shots he did in f1, Fury might knock Wlad out.
