    I laugh because I've been actually studying tape, digging up interviews and weigh ins, and keeping my eyes peeled on both the straight betting line and the props for this fight.

    Did you actually watch and score Tommy's last bout against Igor? He looked lethargic, weak, and I don't think he deserved anything more than a single even round in that bout. Igor is lucky if he's a top 20 light heavy, on his best day, and he did everything from out jab to out muscle Tommy. And that was 15 months ago and a prison sentence ago for Tommy. Not to mention the new scar he's sporting on one of his eyes.

    If you "see" something than I certainly must be missing something. I guess we'll see!

    I like how you didn't validate the initial question with any kind of answer at all' (What you "saw") but I knew you wouldn't miss the opportunity to celebrate when the judges scored in favor of your last moment pick. On the flip side, Mchunu would have been a steroid user if he had decked Tommy in 2. But lets pretend it's BK and you get it "your way". :lol:

    On a lighter note I just turned over to the horror channel right when Kelly brook was walking out of the sea in a bikini.

    What I saw was....


    Usyk and Makabu are both southpaws and they beat Mchunu. But Jesus, they're world class, what? Am I crazy?

    But..... Bejenaru and Mwekassa are southpaws too..... and they suck.:lol:


    He clearly has southpaw issues. As a southpaw that's clearly Mchunu's kryptonite, then when you add in Tommy having easier access to the target as a southpaw and his insane non stop workrate.... I figured there was a huge chance he'd pull it off.

    From the RBR it sounded like a pretty subjective fight. Quantity(in TO case) and quality in Mchunus case. Just one of those fights. Maybe a little bit of favoritism in TO's favor but not enough to scream highway robbery.

    In truth, I figured Mchunu's tendency to be sparing with his punches would play into Oosth's workrate; and while Tommy doesn't rock my world, I had a hard time envisioning a scenario where Mchunu could land consistently enough to deck an opponent who is pretty durable. So, that's the reason why I went with ,and as it turns out, correctly called the upset in this case.

    Close fight, though. 115-113 either way would have been fine, imo.

    Russell gets all snippy and irritable because I said I saw something, then accuses me of not seeing something because I didn't explain what I saw, then I respond explaining what I saw. He hauls ass.... and he wonders why people think he's passive aggressive.:lol:

    I didn't initially respond to you because I'd literally just got on here saw your laughing emoticon then I went on the RBR and read that Oosthuizen had pulled the upset. Chill out.:deal:

    This since Tommy seems to have a solid chin, combined with Tommy being a southpaw caused me to switch. TBH I hadn't put much thought into it, pretty close to zero actually, then I saw Drew pick the upset, and it got me thinking and analyzing what he saw, and then I saw it too. Shoot me.:lol:

    Everyone's chill, peckerhead. You think you're Nostradomus because you took a flyer on a longshot in some prediction league and hometown judging helped you out. If this is me being snippy and a bad guy than what do you do when Kovalev or someone else you're high on losses? You usually go into a weeks bull**** bender and actually try to placate yourself with steroid talk and misc conspiracy theories. :lol: I am, by your own standards, very chill.

    Reality is you've been in 25th place all year and are actually NOT a good predictor of fights on average! No one is sitting in your shadow when it comes to being able to predict a fight, buddy. Nor should you be acting so proud of a fight that really came down to hometown favoritism. You'd quickly label someone on the flipside a miserable scumbag if they did that to you!

    You da' **** bro. Happy? Now stop your finger pointing and **** stirring that anything outside of the norm is happening.

    Quit being a little bitch every time I call an upset and you don't, its nauseating. Clearly I'm not bad at this, and I am a good predictor of fights, yes this has not been a great year for me this year, but... when I have a rough time in my personal life, then that throws me off my game, I've had a rough couple of months, but everything has settled down over the last few weeks, so I'm going back to normal and calming down. When my life is turbulent, my mind and thought patterns are too. When my mind is calm, I'm clearly more focused, after all I do usually write out well reasoned arguments as to why I think the upsets are possible when I pick them.

    You get pissed when someone sees something that you don't and start throwing out accusations and making little bitch like comments. If you don't want to be called a bitch, stop acting like a bitch. You asked me a question earlier, I didn't have time to respond to it, because the match was already ****ing over and I was literally eating my breakfast, yes hours too late and you go into, wah, wah, wah denigrate CST mode, tear him down, he got one right that I didn't. Mother****er you post a laughing emoticon and you expect me to not gloat when I'm right and you're wrong? Think about your actions a little more before doing them, how about that Mr. Lack Of Impulse Control?

    I'm far more forgiving than IB, because I have emotional reactions I tend to not dwell on someone else having one and move on. So yes, let's just chill and move on. But in this case, I clearly saw something, as in why I dropped the hint, but since I'd been up all ****ing night PMing with people, which you're aware of, I didn't feel like explaining it then... I'm sorry you didn't see anything. That's not my fault though, is it?


    I like you and don't feel like fighting or turning this thread into a war zone, I want peace. So everybody take a deep breath and say Om.

    I'm done arguing and moving on.
