what was the biggest upset you called?

I picked Spinks over Ali in the first fight. I could see Ali was not taking the fight serious and Spinks was hard-rock focused. This was 30 or so years ago and i won about 400.00 :happydollars against 40.00. I then picked Ali in the second fight with no betting.

 

nice call

did ya call duran beating barkley though.....cause that would have been really impressive.

 

I picked Leonard over Hagler.....does that still count as an upset? At the time Leonard was given literally no chance but I always thought he'd have Haglers number, and I was right (cue debate)

Also picked Barrera over Hamed and more recently Sprott V Harrison - I never made a pick before the fight but during the 2nd round when everyone was expecting Harrison to finish Sprott off I said to the guys I was watching the fight with that Sprott would connect with a left haymaker and that'd be the end of it, I got lucky on that one, picking the outcome and the punch that did it too :yep

 

no disrespect but without a betting slip i refuse to believe anyone who says that they called this fight.

 

I predicted and betted Rahman & Toney would be a draw

 

It may have been a hope more than a knowing but I picked most of Tyson last 4 real fights for the other guy.

 

lier

 

Oh, come on. You are saying that noone picked Douglass? There were more than a few that called that fight. It was at this time that Tyson lost his focus (after the death of Cus) and you could see that Douglas (after the death of his mother) was in shape and not afraid. It was actually an easy call if you looked at the details. Since you won't believe it anyway, I won't tell that I did call the fight correctly.

 

I have noticed that **** before.:?

 

I think the truth of the matter is there were a lot of Tyson hatters around back in the day, and all these smart arses who claim they picked Douglas are probably telling the truth. What they always fail to mention is they probably picked Tyson to lose against Berbick, Thomas, Bruno, Biggs, Holmes, Tucker etc etc etc too. I remember those days well and anyone who hatted Tyson would spout before every fight this 'this guy has the style to expose him' and were always proved wrong. In the end Tysons immaturity combined with his **** choice of wife and 'team' is what exposed him, Buster Douglas takes full credit for the win but damn Tyson is a real 'coulda woulda shoulda'....

 

Yes, Douglass was a somewhat timid fighter but when his mother died he became dedicated and fearless for that fight! He said he was fighting for his mothers memory. Plus with Tyson hangin out more then training it was a easy call. I remember more than a few that called it. Of course they were the more astute fight fans that based their pick on observable science rather then emotion/hype:hi:

 

Most would dispute it if you proved it.

 

Yes, that was considered a upset. One guy in my group called it.

 

I picked Bernard to beat Tarver.

 

****, go to the archives and you will see that some analysts picked douglass. No matter how big a mismatch, someone ALWAYS picks the under-dog.
