    I did, too. Also figured Hamed/Barrera was close to 50/50.

    :lol: Ouch. I did kinda the same thing with Pacquiao though not so many times; No way he can beat Cotto. Cotto's too big and is pretty ****ing good boxer and has power at the weight and then...well ok fine! No way he can hurt Oscar. De La Hoya's gonna KILL that brave little dude, I mean cmon it ain't even fair DLH ktfo big 154lbrs like Vargas and ****king Mayorga ferchrissakes!

    Yeah...lol

    Me too :(

    So bad I was telling all my casual boxing fan friends that Bellew had 0 chance and it would be easy for Haye. Then it must have seemed to them like I spend all this time watching boxing for nothing...I was trying to claw myself out of it with "It's just because Haye is shot, and I didn't know"... But it must have seemed like I was just digging the hole further and deeper

    Another bad one was that I thought Julius Indongo would give Terence Crawford the toughest fight of his career. Thought he'd take Crawford into deep waters... I really overrated Indongo after watching a very slick performance from him against Ricky Burns

    Great call. I remember watching that thinking Hamed would win but rooting for Barrera. Great night with my college buddy.

    I'm with you on that one. At the very least, I expected that Indongo would be competitive in the early portion of the fight against a guy who normally likes to take a look and then come on after about four rounds.

    chisora is short, which is a fury prerequisite, usually, and a feather fist. Fury's other prerequisite.

    Not really the outcome but I thought Jcc jr vs Canelo would be more competitive and Donier vs Rigo
