    There's ****ing loads for me because I suck at predictions but Morales-Maidana is probably the best shout that I can be bothered to remember

    Wow...

    Those were three fights I was VERY sure about.

    Hopkins was MUCH bigger than little Trinidad, so I never doubted the outcome for a second.

    De la Hoya was meant to lose to Pac.. and he did. Never in doubt.

    Morales-Maidana - I didn't bet on it because I found it uninteresting.

    _____________

    Three that DID surprise me (and cost me money) were:

    Hopkins-Taylor 1
    Hopkins-Taylor 2
    Hopkins-Tarver
    Taylor-Froch

    Pacquiao vs de la hoya, morales vs maidana, hopkins vs pascal 1( thought pascal would beat him up based on how hopkins looked vs jones).
    Also pac vs cotto, thought cotto would give him hell for 12 rounds sicne it was basically his first real challenge at welter.
    Also thought abraham would ko froch.

    Jones vs. Calzaghe, i expected it to be MUCH closer than the shut out it was.

    Hopkins vs. Pavlik, again, expected it to be much closer than it turned out.

    Gatti vs. Gomez/Baldomir, as always I was cheering for Gatti and expected him to win both.

    Klitschko vs. Sanders, everyone expected Wlad to walk through Sanders instead of being a TKO victim.

    Williams vs. Martinez 2, expected a competitive fight that Williams could win if he kept on the outside.

    Moorer vs. Tua, expected Moorer to outbox Tua instead of being brutally KO'ed.

    Canelo vs. M. Hatton, I expected an early KO victory for Canelo but Hatton hung in there and give it all he had.

    Pac vs Hatton? Good God, man, what was your prediction for that? I was off, but not by much...I thought Pacquiao would pepper Hatton with shots, and eventually KO him in the later rounds.

    Oh yeah, pac vs DLH.....

    I was never more shocked during a fight.

    Pac-DLH.

    I thought it was a mismatch in Oscar's favor.

    It turned out be the other way around.

    It was great seeing a cherrypick backfiring like that.

    MAB - Hamed for me too. Think that was one of the fights that made me fall in love with boxing...cant believe it was 10 years ago. Hamed's head looked like a jack-n-the-box...

    khan vs maidana

    i thought khan using his superior speed would stay out of range and outbox maidana to a decision although i was rooting for maidana.

    but maidana wasnt gonna give up that easily he made a damn good fight out of it.
