    Is to follow your head, rather than your heart when picking a winner.

    Your head is probably right most of the time.

    That would take a lot of the fun out of watching a fight. You get behind your fighter regardless, it's what being a fan is all about.

    If you are speaking from a 'betting man' perspective, you are right.

    If you have a preferred fighter you can always make a prediction with your head before the fight, and then hope with all your heart to be proven wrong.

    Using your brain to make decisions is actually beneficial in other areas of life too mate. Should probably apply it to making threads. :think

    Well done, Einstein. You can name this groundbreaking discovery "The Theory Of Picking Winners".

    Your head will always be right. Unless of course you're an idiot. Then, follow your heart.

    hahahahaha!

    some good stuff here today.

    when picking fights, its also very important to listen to people that you respect and avoid people you dont. i found that the ignore function on the ESB forum works well.

    unbiased pro fighters and trainers opinions are excellent sources for the likely outcome of a fight. biased fighters can also be a good source. when you had lennox lewis hating to admit that wlad was going to win(he despises the klitchos), that was a pretty good sign to pull the trigger.
