Shame thread: When have you been woefully wrong in your boxing predictions

[erics44]

Most recently convinced a few people to put money on Froch getting hammered by Abraham.

I fully expected Haye to lose to Audley. Not because I think Audleys any good but I just expected us to have to suffer Audley as a 'world' champion until he lost to Tyson Fury or John McDermott.

I did the exact same thing. I should have had more faith in Froch.

everybody always backs the other guy when froch fights

i bet this johnson fight is the first in about 6 that the saddo opinion sides with froch

it will be back against him in the final tho and people will be eating their words again

I thought he'd beat Dirrell, and I backed him against Kessler & Pascal, but I really thought Abraham would win the Super Six. Superb power and an awesome defense I just thought would be too much for the inexperienced American fighters, an overrated Kessler and for Froch. Glad I was wrong though.

do you think he beat dirrell?

I thought Dela Hoya would kill Mayweather.... Thinking way back, I even thought Gatti would

t wasn't horribly wrong but I was absolutely convinced that Mosley would outbox Cotto.

Oh and I was sure that Haye/ Maccarinelli would be an over-cautious 12 round snoozefest.

before haye and macrinelli i said to my mate it is like the time millwall got to the FA cup final and played united, they did well getting there and deserved it but once they were there had no chance of winning

i was right

Not really a prediction but I remember bragging about Wladimir Klitschko to my uncle and my cousins when they came to visit from out of town. Unfortunately it was the day he fought Corrie Sanders

Yeah just. Was one of the worst fights I've ever seen though.

i think that is my least liked fight in history, people are actually happy to say dirrell should have won the fight despite his display

Whenever I make predictions I always give someone a slight nod to win but always credit the other fighter and giving them a chance so that I never have the opportunity to dine on some crow.

In hindsight, I had WAY TOO much confidence in Jermain Taylor. I thought he wasn't finished after the Pavlik losses and predicted he would make some noise in the Super 6. At least I wasn't completely wrong. He did make noise thudding on the canvas during his fights in the tourney.
