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

No I'm stubborn with Porter I've been saying he wins since the match was first announced last summer, I'm not budging on that one.

And for the record, I'm not kidding around today, I'm genuinely ****ing annoyed and being serious as a heart attack. I'm so sick of all you mother****ers (not necessarily you nelly) playing it safe.


DO ANY OF YOU ACTUALLY WANT TO WIN???????


PLAY TO WIN, DON'T PLAY TO KEEP YOUR POSITION.


Quit taking zero risk think for yourselves, from here on out, I'm not switching at the last minute to protect my position, because I've done far more damage to myself playing it safe that if I'd taken the risks.

 

And had you done that, I would have probably switched to Ward. And my fortunes and confidence would be intact and you'd all be 10 places behind me, goddamn you for missing that Freshmart pick.

 

I'm not quitting, I can't do that, I have far too much pride....obviously.


But be warned, no more switching, either come with me or lose. Think about it I'd be 10 wins up right now, had I not switched.

Keep on with your conventionalism and fail miserably, cowards. I'm retiring the spineless playing it safe CST80, I'm back to being the kamikaze.

 

Well you need to start trying to win damn it.:deal You're clearly not a sheep since you won last year, but maybe you should start giving consideration to some of my picks.:hey


Some of the longshots I really wanted to go with were guys like Mijares in which its more than likely a SD one way or another, I hate matches like that and the Payano-Rau'shee match, but the rest of them like Sosa and Molina my gut just leads me in that direction. Sometimes its wrong like with Enzo and Sillakh but usually its right. I just wish I'd listen to it more often.:verysad

Upset Alert

Anthony Joshua vs. Dominic Breazeale
You all know AJ has no chin, Breazeale got back up from a devastating shot from Mansour, who's kind of a KO artist. Whyte had never been in the ring with anyone with Mansour and Kassi, would he have struggled with them like Breazelae? All it takes is a clean shot and maybe a follow up, Fortua who always showed a solid chin got stopped by Sosa, Uchiyama got stopped by Corrales, not an extraordinarily heavy handed fighter. If Breazeale lands a bomb he could put AJ to sleep. Think about it.

George Groves vs. Martin Murray
Murray took AA's shots, there's no evidence Groves hits harder than AA, Groves gasses, and Murray has a good gas tank, who's to say Murray can't survive by covering up and take Groves deep and bomb him out late, or do enough to win a SD? Murray rocked Abraham to his core, if he can rock Abraham he can stop Groves, he clearly has more power at SMW.

Keith Thurman vs. Shawn Porter
Collazo almost stopped Thurman, Guerrero had him hanging on for dear life in the 10th, Porter has never shown a weak chin, Thurman has repeatedly shown a weak chin, this is a pick 'em match yet all the sheeple are herding themselves over to Thurman like the lemmings they are. Porter has the power to hurt Thurman and the swarming style to not allow him a second to breath. And unlike Collazo and Guerrero he is a natural pressure fighter who is strong as a mother****ing ox, Thurman not so much.

Jose Argumedo vs. Julio Mendoza
Who the f*** is Argumedo? Whoopee he gave Takayama a tough fight, a fight in which Takayama did very well in towards the end before the stoppage, who's to say Takayama isn't just finally shot? Kimura did well against Guevara and lost his next match and retired. Mendoza has 4 losses Argumedo has 3 losses and the guy that KO'd Mendoza was the guy that just beat Budler, so he's clearly better than most of us had previously thought. This is the epitome of a match that gets overlooked, this is a 12 round match that has SD written all over it.


Knockout CP Freshmart vs. Byron Rojas
Rojas was underestimated before the Budler match and pulled it off, and remind me again who Freshmart has beaten???? Buitrago, okay fine that was a good win, but Rojas just beat the lineal champion of the division, why all the kneejerk KO CP FM picks? I rate a win over Budler as equal if not better than a win over the largely untested Buitrago. This is a pick 'em fight.


Think for yourselves. These are not gimmes.:deal

 

Pinoy I just added Alvarez vs. Dawson, Sammy Vasquez vs. Collazo and Diaz vs. Ghvamichava since I was almost 100% sure you would have.

A few suggestions.
Nyambayar vs. Vazquez
Ellis vs. Jackson
Abraham vs. Lihaug? Clearly AA is off a step.
Ruben Nieto vs. Nicolas Gonzalez more competitive than Giner vs. Roman

Vijender Singn vs. Kerry Hope that's a huge step up for Singh its a pick 'em match.

Its a sin that Liam Williams vs. Gary Corcoran isn't on here, its an amazing domestic bout.

Come on Pinoy, these are all up in the air pick 'ems, don't you want to potentially climb higher?
