Doesn't mean you can't root for your fighter even if he can't win, right?

[Silkeyjoe]

What are you yammering about? Nobody EVER said you can't root for an underdog. Root all you like for Pulev nobody is stopping you.

I didnt say anyone was stopping me Lyle. Im just saying rooting for a real underdog, you have to kind of say you think he's gonna win, even in the face of overwhelming probability. But people will call you crazy for saying Pulev KO 1 for example....or Hopkins KO 1 over Kovalev. Its just that when you root for someone you want him to win but when you say what you want people think you're nuts if he is severely like 80-1 Douglas/Tyson the underdog.

No you dont. You can root for someone but not think they are going to win. People think your crazy for picking Hopkins KO1 over Kov because its 1000/1 shot. Hopkins hasnt KOd anyone in 10 years let alone in the 1st round against a quality opponent. Your just picking results you want to see even though they have no chance.

It's not the same as predicting though is it.
What you want and what you think will happen are separate. If you say 'I think Pulev KO1' then people will think you think that and will probably disagree with you. If you say 'I hope it's Pulev KO1' then many would agree.

Who has ever said you can't root for who you want?? I wanted Hatton to smash Mayweather but never ever though it would happen. So I wasn't saying 'I think Hatton will smash Mayweather' but I'm sure I might have said I hoped he did.

This is how you word it Brock

Going to be backing Pulev as a charging of the guard would be nice but in reality Wladimir is going to be too good

[erics44]

whats the alternative in this case? rooting for wlad klit?

im not sure real boxing fans do that

in any case a win for pulev would be forcing wlad into a humerous amount of cheating that wlads ref doesnt call

which isnt really hard coz it happens every time

[Fenster]

I prolly root for the underdog about 99% of the time.

I agree and all Im sayin is I dont want to say "Im rooting for so and so BUT I KNOW HE WILL GET CREAMED"....its too depressing, its fun believing in fantsasies, like Hop at 49 would KO Sergey in 1. It s just fun thats all, I dont really believe it you know.

I swear to god, one more mother fucker uses the word prolly (NOT EVEN A FUCKING WORD!!!!) and I'll go Oscar Pistorious on your ass!! And I'll get away with it!

You stick to your game Brock, prolly get one right sooner or later.

bwwwaaaaHH!! Sooner or later---either way it is not happening now and therefore it is not real. Fenster is also in the clear. Plus he's my trainer and I have already lost half a stone.

[SlimTrae]

Michael Moorer's last few fights I'd root with the thinking of Damn, if he gets hit, it's over with...

You are living and training inside Turkey which is my favorite food.
Technically you are stuffed mate,well stuffing in any case.

Me too, I dont know whats wrong with me,even if they are fighting my favorite fighter on the night Im hoping they make a good fight of it and are thinking of ways they could fuck up my man.

Traitor material.

AGREED. just so everyone knows, when I wriote Hop KO 1 over KOv, its just because I WANBT IT TO AHPPEN, but I know it is highly unlikely if not impossioble. Thats all I was saying. Dont thinnk Im nuts if I saay Pulev KO 3 over Wlad, its nbot happening I do realize it, I just WISH it would happen
