i've lost a shitload of wagers too many to count but the one that really stands out in my mind is calzaghe lacy the fight went the full 12 and i did not get a decent sweat for my dough for one freakin second oh i also had to eat a lot of crow after ricky hatton beat tszyu lol i was telling everybody that tszyu was gonna destroy ricky the same way he destroyed zab
When Ali knocked Foreman out. It still stings anytime I see it again :twisted: Back in '82 when Gerry Cooney was all hyped up to KO Larry Holmes. I even remember Howard Cosell saying "I feel GC has a very good chance of knocking Larry Holmes out" So I jumped on the band wagon and should have known better. :-( When Duran pulled his "No Mas" against SRL. I predicted Duran was gonna knock Sugar around toe to toe again but "No Mass!" atsch
ohhh yeah hahahahah....martinez vs donaire.... i had the live stream online and about 5 friends over about to watch nonito win, but in a hard fought 12rd fight....hahahahaahhah ohhhhh man ohhhhhh man
Freaking Bernard Hopkins, and not just from the fights he won but the fights he lost too. I picked against Hopkins for Tito, DLH, Tarver, and Pavlik. I picked Hopkins for JT, JT2 and Calzaghe.
tszu vs judah, vitaly vs lewis. i'm a fan of both and was thinking they will be wiped. i yelled like crazy in a bar watching the chicken dance.. what a night
Ponce de leon- i said "boom boom bautista" is a slick fighter compared to that caveman. plus he had power in those hands!" ...timber!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - ok he proved me wrong. then came Juan Ma! "oh this kid has never fought anybody with Ponce's power. The caveman will KO this pretty boy!" ...timberrrr!!!
How come nobody mentioned the fact that they picked Tyson over Holyfield, and got shocked back into reality? Fess up guys! God hates a coward!
Oh yeah I picked Tyson on that one . . . but why should I eat crow for that when I didn't post anything and argue about it on any website or forum . . . that was 1996 . . . 11 years before I became a member here. You only eat crow when you have to swallow you're arguement because you were wrong.
Where I worked at the time there were several other boxing fans I worked with. I picked Holy. Trust me, there was some crow eatin' goin' on:yep
Freak'n Froch against Taylor. That's been the only real bad one! I've got more respect for him now, with fighting in this Super 6 as well (along with JT).
Lennox Lewis Danny Williams I had very limited boxing knowledge when Lewis and Williams fought Tyson (I only watched the big fights) and I thought Tyson was still at his best in both fights (he was my fave boxer, so even though he was KO'ed by Lewis, I still felt he was gonna come back and be even better in the Williams fight!). I almost cried in the Lewis fight, and was left in shock by the Williams one - I predicted quick KO's by Tyson in both.
