    A word of caution, I have a tendency to run scenarios and see the potential of what could be and I will run with that on the RBR's, and give an upset warning, saying this could happen. Those are the ones I'm not taking that seriously, frequently I'm in the ballpark of being right, like with Gollaz vs. Love, I thought his length, counter-punching, power was going to give Love fits and I was right, it did. But it was close, so the judges robbed him of course. Basically that applies to opponents no one has ever heard of before that I've seen countless times, and how much of a potential banana peel they are to the name fighter.

    But when I really believe in an upset, I shout it from the rooftops.:D I tend to be quite absolutist on them. Then usually lay out the scenario of how they'll win. I'm wrong about 10% of the time, but that's not bad. The ones you have to be wary about, is like I did with Whyte the other day, I said if he tried all of these different things, he could potentially pose problems, but Dillian is an idiot, so he didn't.:lol:

    Would you like to see a list of the upsets I've predicted? Those two are just scratching the surface.

    Apart from CST a bunch of the kiwis on here were warning about Ruiz leading up to the AJ fight

    That is because we had seen Ruiz fight Parker and knew he was dangerous

    Bivol beating ginger nuts so easily was surprising but not a shock

    Joshua getting beaten up by a short doughboy was a shock

    Ruiz AJ
    Joshua was the next big thing but got outfought and beaten up by a short fat guy no known for being a puncher.
    Canelo was up against a young, fresh bigger guy. He didn't look great VS Kovalev at the weight untill he found the KO punches but that never looked likely VS Bivol.
