Why not just sign up for that prophet game. Put your stats where your mouth is. I'm 19-0 with the highest scoring prediction under my belt too. You'll never have this.

Nice *little* prediction rate. Can't beat my 19-0, though. :bag:

Don't worry, nobody is calling you an "expert" no matter what you pick.

What happens if Kovalev wins by decision. Would the expert label still apply?

No. I dont want it to be easy. Just picking the winner by mostly or always picking the favourite like mexi schmock is too eazy. If kova dont tkos him, than for the rest of the year i aint a expert anymore. Only a regular boxing follower.

Just a question... Didn't you pick Chavez to beat Canelo???? How do you pick a guy with no expertise over a guy who has some??

FYI "he's" would be the shortened version of "he is" or "he has"

So you've (you have) now embarrassed yourself on two (2) fronts

Life 1 : Jip - Chavez beats canelo

Experts should be paid, well paid, not waste their time on forums.

I'll beat you by seasons end :OhYes:

EDIT: Hell I'm beating you now :lol:

I assume this 19-0 stretch came in a previous season?

I don't either, past Rafael for fights being made. I'm sure he makes good money at ESPN, but that's rare. When you're talking 'experts' I assume you mean the guys writing about it, though most of them are dimwitted. I only know because I did it for a few years. The majority of bloggers don't get paid at all, after that you'll mainly fall into the $20-$200 a month range.

Sorry dude, but predicting certain fights, especially one as competitively close as this one, does not make you an expert. Who gives a shit if you get it wrong. Not sure anyone on here qualifies you as an expert as it is. :-P

How the hell did Rafael even get that gig?! Lol. He's not terrible but he's nothing special either.
