    Lets hear it! Who did you pick and why? My worst one could possibly be Margo/Cintron II. I picked Cintron for the UD. My thinking was that Manny would have Cintron outboxing the flat-footed Margo by giving ground and countering :patsch

    hahahaha... Thats pretty bad mate. My worst was probably Kostya v Hatton, Quintana v Williams, or Campbell v Diaz. Quintana v Williams really stands out though. I predicted a stoppage victory for Williams, saying that Quintana was at a distinct style disadvantage. I said that Quintana would be unable to deal with the reach and workrate of Williams, and would end up fighting a very defensive fight, where he eventually succummbed to a barrage of unanswered punishment late in the fight hahaha.

    Mine was Pavlik vs Miranda. Name a reason Miranda lost, and I probably picked it as a strength. That's how off I was.

    Lacy-Calzaghe. I thought Lacy would come out and destroy Calzaghe in less then 6 rounds

    Freitas-Diaz

    I thought Popo would easily dance and box around Diaz all night and if he couldntjust brawl with Diaz since he has the power advantage, I also thought he would learn his lesson from the Chico fight not to stay near the ropes.

    Shame on me for thinking he would never quit again for all the heat he took for the Chico fight.

    Of recent years, I said Carlos Quintana would school Miguel Cotto, educating him on the finer points of the sweet science, win a wide decision (and possibly stop him in the mid to late rounds).

    What the hell, I thought you were bigtime9 for a second. Don't scare me like that :yikes


    On another note I was also WAY off for Lacy/JC, but I honestly think that my most recent Cintron/Margo analysis is probably my worst. I somehow thought Cintron would be able to "box" overnight (or learn from Manny) and then mentally hold it together against Margo, who is stylistically his worst nightmare. What the hell was I thinking....

    Latest would have to be Quintana-Williams. I did not see that happening.

    You should join one of the prediction leagues if you are confident in your tipping ability!!

    I actually made a pretty spot on analysis for the Calzaghe-Lacy fight but for some reason I said all these advantages Joe had would be negated because he was getting old.
    So so wrong I was.

    You must not be betting on that many events then because this year has been FULL of upsets. Did you actually predict Williams over Quintana? Campbell over Diaz? Vera over Lee? Casa over Katsidis? I can keep going....
