Bad Omens before Big Upsets...

OK you big fight fans. Has anybody gotten that funny feeling before a fight where something happend that made you go Oh Sh**t.. He's gonna lose now, then..bang he loses.

I got 3 that stick out right now...

Hamed vs MAB. He just couldn't make that flip over the ropes.

Lewis vs Rachman. Lewis decided a week before the fight to call himself The Lion. That has got to be bad luck...and he never called himself The Lion afterwards either.

Tito vs Hopkins. No not 9/11, to me it was him singing and dancing "regeton" before getting into the ring. I remember thinking that I had never seen him dance before stepping into a ring.

Anybody else notice these things or am I the only idiot that does...

interesting thread bro CC!

i remember before tito vs oscar they gave oscar his own 20/20 special and they emphasized how he was undefeated all throughout the show. so im thinking to myself awwwwwwwwww man something shady is bout to go down!

Spinks hiring the BIGGEST rapper from his hometown to do the homecoming intro to his big rematch with Zab ;D

Zab hitting Baldomir in the hip before the fight. I expected a close fight, Showtime didn't and they were a bit miffed as to why he would stoop to that level against an inferior opponent. Because he knew he wasn't ready to fight.

Lacy nervously walking to the ring. That was gut wrenching.

That was the first thing that popped into my head, but I cant think of any more off the top of it. Actually, in the same fight about round six Naz hit Barrera with a corking uppercut and grinned at Barrera then Barrera shrugged and waved him in lol, then I thought to myself 'Naz, your really fucked now'

I agree with TheBESTP4P though great idea for a thread!

Any boxer who has had a parent die right before a big fight. they become invincible/

haahah yes!

thats the EA SPORTS FIGHT NIGHT CURSE!

I remember when Tyson really hit spinks hard and he went down and the ref got to the eight count. I said to myself, man this is going to be bad.

:rotflmao: HA HA HA HA HA HA... Good one.

CC back to all who liked thread.

Tyson got knocked down by Greg Page before the Buster Douglas fight

Any challenger who loses someone close to them before a big fight is a positive omen (usually because they dedicate the fight to them...someone dying is never good but usually boxers fight harder at those tough times) for them but not so much for the champion/favorite
