    Pacqquiao by KO over DLH, even had 8th round!!! (40-1) won about $4000 off about $500

    Biggest back fired...not sure. in gambling terms i've never put more then a $100 and lost to i've never took a big loss at all when betting boxing. Now just picking...not sure. i can think recently i had Collazo over Khan, thoght Groves could beat Froch in rematch. Liked Broner against Matthysse....but i wouldnt say those were huge backfires. i mean i picked underdogs so a underdog cant really be a backfire because there were supposed to lose in context/

    I'm pretty sure Salido would beat Russell's ass too. And he was a WW when he fought Loma.

    Mine that I got right would be pacquiao over de la hoya and hopkins over pavilik.one that didn't work out was my guy Martinez v cotto.I never thought it be so one sided.I hate cotto for taking advantage of an old shot Martinez.

    My prediction next to yours:

    Algieri over Provo - Provodnikov, vcash on Algieri though
    Gonzalez over Mares by KO - Jhonny
    Rigo over Donaire - Donaire, with confidence
    Bradley over Marquez - JMM, thought it'd be close
    Brook over Porter - Porter, with confidence
    Canelo over Lara - Canelo, obvious controversial Canelo win in the making
    Salido over Lomachenko - Lomachenko, thought it'd be close
    Juanma over PDLeon2 - Juanma, thought it was a total toss up
    Froch over Groves2 - Groves
    Margarito over Cotto1 - Cotto
    Froch over Bute - Bute
    Trout over Cotto - Cotto, was/am a fan of Trout so I thought it'd be close
    Maidana over Broner - Maidana, with confidence

    You really nailed those. Nice...

    Came Close
    Herrera over Garcia Herrera won - Garcia
    Angulo over Lara - Lara
    Fonfara over Stevenson - Stevenson
    Trout over Canelo - Canelo

    ...got those right.

    Lost
    Martinez over Cotto - Sergio with confidence
    Alvarado over Marquez - JMM with confidence
    Arreola over Stiverne - Arreola in the first, Stiverne in the rematch
    Matthysse over Garcia - Matthysse with confidence
    Trout over Lara - Lara with confidence
    Geale over Golovkin - Golovkin, was/am a fan of Geale but figured he wouldn't last 12
    Margarito over Cotto2 - Cotto with confidence

    Alvarado, Geale, and Margarito were pretty awful picks all due respect on that list, but the others were tough ones to see coming for sure.

    I thought Margo would have a chance, Alvarado I was hoping would be more active and when he was, he caught Marquez a few times. Geale was a total gamble I got overconfident after the Algieri and Herrera picks, but deep down I knew he didn't have much of a chance.

    I remember McDerrmott being a stupid price against Skelton and getting on it.

    Like 3/1 or something

    I hate Cotto for it as well, Sergio is a great who has deserved fame and praise for years, that he's never gotten, and now he'll be remember as the guy who lost to Cotto, nobody will remember how injured and crippled he was for the fight, and how great he was before it..
