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?

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

[C-Lo]

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.
