tbh my record is good. i had him down to win his last 5 fights. however i thought he would beat cotto and dlh by points, certainly didnt see a stoppage last night
I've picked against him in Barrera 1, Marquez 1, De la Hoya, and picked him against Morales the first time. I also said he'd be in a very close fight in the Hatton and Cotto bouts but still come out on top. Amazing how he makes my family members who never watched boxing until Manny came along look smarter than me at this point in predicting his fights.
Thats because you think to hard. A prediction should be simple and straight forward. People get so hyped up and start to get mixed feelings, when in fact they shouldn't. Im sick and tired of the 24/7 shows, its the stupidest **** ever. Well its not stupid, cause its good for boxing, but that **** shouldnt be used to predict a fight. They try to make a non-even fight, look like its 50/50. Like Jones - Calzaghe, LOL what a crock of ****ing ****. Ever since then i havent even watched that garbage of a show..apart from the episode where Floyd Senior went to Taco Bell, now that was watch worthy but anyways thats why i havent even been watching the 24/7 episodes with Pac and Cotto, cause it will **** with your head on your TRUE THOUGHTS on the matchup. People watch that garbage and get lured in, "Oh man, I cant wait! Jones is SO GOING TO KO CALZAGHE! wowooOWoowoowoOo" And now all these Cotto pickers are comming out of freakin no where, ha wtf? People watch these shows and get so into it and they constantly change thier picks, while all the picks I have made were made WITHOUT watching the 24/7 episodes. Who cares what a fighter does out of a ring, its whats in the ring that matters. The reason why i picked Hoya over Pac was because this was basically Pacs first test in the 140's and i thought the size differance and experience from Oscar would get to him. Ever since that fight i knew he could cope with the likes of Cotto, Mayweather, Hatton etc...
Actually he picked Hatton to beat Pacquiao but justified it after the fight saying he was just going with the underdog to make it more "interesting for the fans"
