The worst was thinking that Tyson would knock out Douglas easily
I still think that Mike was looking for his contact lense
Maybe that's an excuse Audley can use after his next inevitable defeat

And me. I always thought Danny had the style to beat Vitali. Maybe Danny just had an off night?J wrote:
plenty of bad picks over the years Danny Williams to trouble Vitali being the highlight . yikes.
I very nearly bet on this too (think I just didn't get chance or something), told people at work it was a 'great value bet'.Chambers2 wrote:I had £100 on Earl to beat Khan and in true Chambers style* I'd proceeded to tell numerous mates about the bet and then watched the fight with a roomful of them......

I could write a book on my 'Audley's gonna be Great' predictions.
I did exactly the same thing. And if that wasn't embarassing enough i then told everyone who would listen not to watch the Prescott fight cos it was a total mismatch and he was a bum.sg1985 wrote:i picked graham earl to beat khan

According to Dark Trade, you weren't the only one. Bookies were shitting themselves if he'd win in a round.chinny wrote:I was scared for Lewis' safety when he fought Ruddock in 92. I think KO2 there was as shocking as it gets.
I had a lot of money (for me, at the time) on Mcclellan to KO Benn in one round
That's not so ludicrous. Tyson was coming off a really bad defeat and the fight week was in turmoil, with threats of pull-outs, no-shows, and Tyson getting his face freshly tattooed. It had an "anything can happen" feel to it.DavidPayne wrote:Etienne WPTS Tyson.
Ouch.
Plus there seemed to be a run of momentum going against British boxers at the time, with our two biggest stars (Lewis and Naz) having just been beaten. Calzaghe carried a lot on his shoulders that night and responded appropriately.stujones wrote:Mario Veit to beat Joe Calzaghe (first fight).based entirely on him being massive, undefeated and Joe not in good form. I thought we would have another Klitchsko vs Hide scenerio.

Okay, not sure mine are as bad as that but sticking a fiver on Lockett to stop Pavlik was pretty docile (though in my defence, it was an almost unloseable bet - I had £20 at 1/3 on Pavilk by stoppage and £5 at 5/1 on Lockett. Only a draw or Pavlin by points lost me money). The worst though had to be bottling all my predictions of Kell Brook's impending greatness and stick £20 on Kevin McIntyre by KO...doctorboxing wrote:Ok, really big f up here.
I put a few quid on Peter Manfredo to stop Joe Calzaghe in round eight!![]()

I was in Cardiff for it and the more I analysed the fight, the more I though Manfredo was tough and could stand up to Joe early on, losing every round but taking the fight into the later rounds. Then I thought Joe would have to go for the KO to impress the American audience and there was a possibility he may leave himself open for a fluke shot by Manfredo.
Sugar would have if he didn't have Correra in the corner. Hearns was in a bad way after the 5ht and took a few rounds to recover. If Leonard didn't load up, Hearns would have lost from 6-10 clearly on the rounds - is it stood they were close rounds anyway, and the fight was alot closer than people remember it.Syntax Error wrote:
