Trinidad over Hopkins Trinidad over Winky Hatton over Mayweather Quintana over Cotto "what was i thinking??" Cazares over Calderon "underestimate Calderon boxing skills"
Same here. But wasn't Woods the favorite? I wouldn't call this a worse pick. Id call this a ok pick and horrible fight. LOTS of people picked Woods. He ****ed up.
I thought about starting a "Worst Picks" thread, and luckily, it's already here! I've got a couple, the absolute WORST was probably De La Hoya vs. Ricardo Mayorga. Mayorga was taylor-made for the left-hook, and it was pretty embarassing seeing him decked in the first round (albeit exciting). I also picked Tarver to beat Hopkins, I thought Tarver would impose his light-heavyweight experience and jab. Turned out it was Hopkins imposing experience and a right hand.
I picked Woods to CLEARLY beat Tarver and was actually considering to change my pick to a late TKO. Another one, even though I'm a HUGE Cotto fan, I thought him taking on Quintana in his first fight at the new weight was a bad move. I predicted Carlos to win a UD
I usually pick pretty damn good. I should really start betting online. My bad picks were Taylor-Pavlik 1 and 2. I picked Taylor on both. I was very undecided in Cotto-Mosley. I never really picked one and stuck with it. It changed everyday but when asked right before the fight i told my friend 51% of me says Mosley 49% says Cotto. Thats coming from a huge Cotto fan and this made me even more of a fan.
I picked De La Hoya over Mayweather, but that was more because Oscar made sure he had every advantage and I figured if the fight was close, Oscar would get the nod. Plus me and my friends pay out double on KO's, and I knew Mayweather wasn't going to knock out De La Hoya.
