Re: My third prediction
There are no journalists, they're bloggers and I hear some of the dumbest shit from commentators.

Re: My third prediction
He kind of sucks and his historical knowledge is nil, but his information is reliable and that's all I care about. He used to write for USA today and they did rankings once a month and notes pretty frequently, long before I thought of an internet site it was a solid lifeline with the magazines. I'm sure he snagged it from that.IT wrote:How the hell did Rafael even get that gig?! Lol.

Re: My third prediction
True. He does have good sources and breaks some good stories. He seems a bit of a miserable pudendum lol but then again I don't know if that's because he gets trolled a lot.SaadOffTheDeck wrote:He kind of sucks and his historical knowledge is nil, but his information is reliable and that's all I care about.

Re: My third prediction
No idea, I don't do twitter or anything and I don't really read anything outside of potential upcoming fights.

I'll have to PM you because this site marks the name as spam. It's a fun prediction game.

Re: My third prediction
I put down Kovalev by KO. I also thought Kovalev in the first fight, and I do believe he beat Ward.pound per pound wrote:What's your pick in Ward vs Kovalev 2?!Mexi-Box wrote:Nice *little* prediction rate.
