    I remember telling anyone who would listen how Haye would jump on Wlad early and do a Sanders on him.

    That worked out well.


    What did you call totally wrong ?

    Tzysu vs Hatton. I thought Hatton was going to get smashed early. Another was BHOP vs Tarver.

    This is a good one!
    Tyson v Douglas
    Tyson v Holyfield (both times)
    Ruddock v Lewis
    Leonard v Hearns 2

    Granted, I was in the majority.
    For an outlier, I honestly thought Bugner was going to outfox Bruno in ‘87.

    Leonard-Hearns I. After the "Hit Man" destroyed Pipino Cuevas I honestly didn't see ANYBODY beating him. (Bet $50.00 on Hearns to KO Sugar Ray--learned a costly lesson LMAO!!)

    AJ-Dubois
    Fury-Usyk
    AJ-Ruiz obviously

    Had a gut feeling Parker was going to beat Wilder.

    Golota vs Lewis, I was expecting a close competitive fight. I got an F- for that prediction.

    You guys won’t believe me, I actually picked Ruiz over AJ. I was wrong about Usyk vs Fury… I was wrong about Muruta vs GGG, I believed it looked like Muruta was going to pull the upset (shush) I was also WRONG about Bivol vs Artur 2… Parker vs Zhang (right) Parker vs Bakole (I don’t want to talk about that 300lbs disappointment lol) I definitely called Wilder vs Parker, I’d have loved to see Parker lose at that point but it’s Deontay lol… it actually hasn’t been until recently I realised “damn this guy never disappoints lately, I might just be hating on the guy a bit” he’s my man in the division and mark my words I think he or Kaba become the MAN of the division, Parker is my guy though but I think (feel) Kaba gets him if they fight for the throne when Usyk leaves (providing neither get to fight him) GOD HW is awesome atm people are too nostalgic, HW has been great for a fair few years but DDD vs Usyk 2 is such a yawn, we should’ve seen DDD vs Parker followed by Parker vs Usyk and DDD vs Kaba for the winner of P vs U… I will never forgive Daniel “sniffle” Dubois.

    I picked Jermell Charlo to outhustle Canelo.

    But I also picked Rolly over Ryan and bet on it so there's that.

    Douglas vs Holyfield. I’ll excuse myself a bit for not knowing that Buster was going to come into the fight the size of a whale - his prep and overall commitment being the absolute antithesis to what he took into the Tyson fight.
