Big fight you got wrong

[Ron Swanson]

I'm often a fence sitter so I'm not speaking of X could win. I mean X would win

I was confident Trinidad would beat DelaHoya. Watching it play out I was stunned at how easy Oscar made it. Couldn't foresee that at all.

[TitoFan]

I was confident Felix would get him out of there as well. Was surprised when it didn't happen, then was disappointed there was never a rematch.

[powerpuncher]

I’ve definitely gotten fights totally wrong through the years but big fights? I’ll have to think more about it.

At the moment, the best I can think of is Jones vs Tarver 2. I thought that Jones just looked awful in their first fight and still won a decision. So naturally I thought that Jones would get back to his old self and destroy Tarver. Didn’t happen.

[Fenster]

Speaking of Tito, I picked Vargas to beat him, can still remember saying to these fellas I watched it with (strangers) Vargas has never been down in his life, not even in sparring... 30 seconds into the first round I stood there feeling like a right cunt ()

[Spicoli]

Mayweather Hatton. Yep he did that. Otherwise this may require a ICB style list .

[Alpha]

Probably too many to name.

Since Hopkins and Tito have already been mentioned, I was positive Trinidad would do a number on B-Hop.

[Primo Carnera]

Loads and loads, dating back many years if I gave it some thought. But the one that sticks out in recent memory is Wlad v Fury. Just could not see anything like that.

[X]

​I was utterly convinced that Mike Tyson would savage Buster Douglas within three rounds.

Winky beating and schooling Tito.

Manny Pac beating Oscar

Floyd beating Oscar

[brocktonblockbust]

I have never gotten any fight wrong.

[Ron Swanson]

Winky beating and schooling Tito.

Manny Pac beating Oscar

Floyd beating Oscar

Iaminuit saved my butt on PAC/Oscar. When Oscar was weighing 145 a week before the fight he shouted from the rooftops Oscar was cooked. Weighing less on fight night than he did at weigh in showed he was fried. Iaminuit was all over it in time to save me

Haye vs Bellew 1.

Manny Pac beating Oscar

He really knew his boxing, miss him around here, often wonder what happened to his puppies and hope he got a great send off.

I have gotten so many wrong it might be easier to pick the ones I got right

Both Hatton fights, Mayweather and Pacman I got wrong but even after the Floyd KO never saw the Manny KO coming so early and brutally. Froch v Ward I though Froch might just be too undentable and tenacious even for a wily dog like Ward. Thought Bruno might have Ko'd Tyson, ( i was pretty young)


Could always see BJS and GGG's pedigree though even before they became household names, just hope they meet at some point so I have the chance to get that one wrong.

[El Kabong]

Hmmm let's see here, I'm sure there are quite a few I've gotten wrong

Wlad-Sanders
Wlad-Fury
Wlad-Brewster
Lacy-Calzaghe
Cloud-Hopkins
RJJ-Tarver 2
RJJ-Johnson
Cotto-Pacquiao* ....I kind of don't count that one as much because Miguel flipped his shit and fired his trainer and ended up sans trainer for the build up to the fight and during the fight so meh
Cotto-Mayweather
Andy Lee-Brian Vera
Jermain Taylor-Kelly Pavlik
Cory Spinks-Ricardo Mayorga
Mosley-Mayweather
De la Hoya-Mayweather
Tyson-Lewis



hmmmm....I'm absolutely certain there are more.

[Master]

You had Tyson to beat Lewis?
