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

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.

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

Yeah but why not just clarify it's want you want, not what you predict. Like everyone else!

Edit - I see you've kind of answered that.
