July 3rd - the aftermath of Wlad vs. Haye

[Mars_ax]

What forum did you used to post on Mars_ax?

Up until a couple years, I used to post mainly on the ESPN boxing Message board. One of my worst predictions ever was that Lacy would destroy that "fraud" Calzaghe. I ate crow for months after that one. Since then, I try to make predictions with my head and not my heart.

I'm not saying this to be annoying, but at least on paper, Haye has little chance of winning. Calzaghe on the other hand, had every chance of winning, I just chose to ignore it and not look at the FACTS.

You're not being annoying, I agree, on paper Wlad is a big favourite. The Haye fans are the underdogs.

You seem like an experienced boxing forum poster though, so I assumed you gave up posting somewhere else? That's all.

I've been a boxing fan for 50 + years Fenster. I don't consider myself a boxing "expert", but I doubt that there's that many fans who've watched as many 'live' fights as I have, going back to the late 50's when SRR was fighting guys like Gene Fullmer, and Carmen Basilio, at middleweight and Floyd Patterson was HW champion.

A lot of my posts here at Saddo about fights and fighters are from personal memory, but I still do a bit of research when i'm making a case about something.

cheers, and thanks to you and a lot of the other guys on the forum who've made me feel welcome here at Saddoboxing.
