    cotto v trout was the most recent one i went into thinking "cotto got this in the bag he is going to destroy trout who had little to no world class experience"

    funnily enough i also thought martinez would wipe the floor with cotto IF he was healthy and not shot from age/injury

    On this site, the one I think that is most impressive for me was correctly predicting how Maidana vs. Broner would play out.

    The one that makes me happiest though was Dawson over Hopkins because the Hopkins fans were particularly loud and offensive with their thoughts.

    Bit of a weird one, but i had an accumulator with 7 or 8 fights and all had come in....

    Apart from Bradley vs Pac 1.

    I picked Bradley to win. The weirdest £150 i ever made ;)

    I bet on Paulie to beat Boner.

    didn't really backfire or pay off...I think the odds for Paulie to win were at something like 8 to 1 or more.

    I bet:

    Maidana - Broner
    Froch - Bute
    Hopkins - Pavlik
    Garcia - Khan
    Cotto - Martinez

    Some money was made.

    I bet £250 on Danny Williams to KO Tyson in rounds 1-6, then I lost it all betting on euro 2006.

    I had £100 on Froch to KO Bute so did my little brother.

    I also had £100 on JMM to beat Pacman on points in their third fight. I was buzzing until they read out the scores, couldn't believe it!!! Would have only lost the profit anyway!!

    Betting is a mugs game.....

    Maidana over Broner for bragging rights

    Angulo over Canelo as a horrible mistake

    I had Maidana over Broner, but really messed up with Angulo over Canelo as well, had my fingers crossed that the Angulo that fought Lara would show up.

    I know! That guy was a monster! I thought Canelo wouldn't be able to handle El Perro's pressure but he got his ass beat that night. It was so frusterating to watch him throw those pitty pat punches when Canelo was literally teeing off on him. He did prove to have a great chin that night but not much else.
