    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.

    Picked Hamed to beat Barrera.

    I do believe the word I used was "outclass".

    Ahem.

    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.
