    Default How often were you right?

    Well, be honest.... how often were you right on your predictions?

    I'll tell you for my case:

    I was wrong on the Pulev/Wlad fight. I had Pulev by a UD.

    I was wrong on Eubank/Saunders. I had Eubank by a battering. EFF YOU EUBANK SR.

    I was right on Crawford/Gamboa. I had Crawford by a late stoppage.

    I was right on Manny vs. Rios and Algieri. But I thought he would ko Algieri, but knew Rios would go the duration.

    Was right on Floyd/Maidana. Who would bet against Floyd?

    Was right on Chisora/Fury. Too easy.

    What about you?

    Sometimes what you predict is what should happen but the fighter has a bad day.

    Eubank Jr for example, showed from round 6 onwards that had he started like that he'd have either KOd BJS or won wide on pts.

    You can't predict nerves or someone starting slow.

    I was way more accurate in saddo prediction contests than just randomly posting predictions on Boxing Talk. I once came in 11th place out of 36 participants. But on here I basically just predict based on who I want to win which is usually the underdog.

    Yea. I can tell by the tie Eubank entered the ring he was a bundle of nerves. He loosened up and won the second half of the fight, but by then it was too late- Saunders ahead on points and even if Saunders won 1 round out of the last 6 it was a wrap, and he did win round 11. Only but by a hair.

    I was wrong about Eubanks Junior but right about most other things except Bellow v Clev and B Hop v Kov.

    Look back and you will see I called a Williams win, who was something like 20/1 underdog, over Tyson.

    And around the same time I was calling Muhammad Abdullaev the new Duran. And I was right again, just he was late 90s rather than late 70s Duran!
