You picked 8 of the easiest fights to predict. Takes more to be an expert than handpicking 8 easy fights to call, and getting the results right. Call 'em all, and see how you do.

There's more to being an expert than simply saying "Hey everybody I'm an expert"...in fact. Don't ever bother telling everybody you're an expert. Let them tell you...or not.

If you're actually an expert, your expertise speaks for itself.

You wanted me vs you predicting fights and you got it. And the result that i had every winner right. You too since you said you had about the same picks.

I dont need nobody to tell me i am an experts, but props are okay. Its funny. Peops are quick for hating but take centurys to give props. Gilga, if you want to waste your time predicting 100 fights and watxhing all boxers from a too e level than do it. I watch only a or b level. Only the big fights. Boxing is the most beautiful to watch when great boxer box! Why should i eat a tasteless 1 $ cheeseburger when i can eat a in & out burger...

We should stick more together, in 2 weeks is one of the best match ups ever and today is a good day. Man i even think i ll do 30 push ups in 1 attempt

Generally there's nothing that isn't at least pretty significant in any pick 'em game I play. Their may be Title bouts in the smaller weight classes featuring fighters you'd be less familiar with, but they're still significant fights.

I could do without about 7 of the weight classes that currently exist personally, but that's a whole other discussion.

Charlo/Trout was close, but clear in my opinion.

It was also the best Trout looked since the Cotto/Canelo fights.

Charlo is getting pushed towards Jacobs.
Good fight, but I'd rather Jacobs get another payday against the GGG/Canelo winner.
Similar to how Brook got paid against GGG before getting done in by Spence.

The winner of jacobs/charlo fights the winner of ggg/canelo. The loser vs the loser. Therefore everybody make $ be a good scenario. Mw is now arguably the toughest division. Ggg is past it but still elite level, jacobs and charlo very athletic prime tremendous punching power. Tough to say who now the true #1 is. First ggg/jacobs fight was close. What would in the secondone. How good is charlo. Could lara come up and ud them all with his boring but effectice technical sound style???

Hey Jip....

Have you predicted officially the winner of Loma vs Rigo?

I'm gonna hold you to it. Especially if you're an expert.

Who's going down?

Do you know how hard to answer this question is. Both atg top 10. Both prime. Both phenomenal footwork, accuracy, punch variation, stamina and iq. No weakneses.

But, i dont shy away from predictions and i know future, so i am gonne tell you what will happen.

The rds going to be close. Rig wil be defensive, loma attack and get countered. Mid fight loma with push more the action steal rds, simply by outlanding rigo, whos punch oitput is low. Loma will be bigger taller than rigo, this will him also give the advantage mentaly knowing he is younger and stronger than rigo. Lomas punches will hurt rigo more than the opposite around. Loma will often get frustrated to get at rigo, cause rigos lazeral movemant and upperbody slickness on another level. Its hard to cat h the guy with clean punches. But overall the bit faster high punch output busier loma with win enough rds. Close fight.

Lomachenko wins by md

I'm stunned Jip. I thought you considered the Cuban to be the GOAT, size difference be damned.

I could never consider either of these 2 to be top 10 ATG. Limited fights against limited competition.

How have they proven themselves in the long haul to deserve such a lofty status.

It's one thing to defeat a slipping Donaire or an untested Gary Russell.

And it's another to say they belong in the same class as a Gomez, Marquez, Barrera, or Arguello.

All battle tested veterans who have stood the test of time.

But I agree that Loma will defeat Rigo. Too big and probably punches hard enough to hurt the sometimes chinny Rigo.

Its sad that i always have to repeat myself.

For me, there are 2 way to rank atg. One being based on record, the other based skills + physical ability. Sometimes atg have both, ali was phenomenal in his prime in terms of skills and physical atributes, aswell an impressiv record fighting the best. Sometimes this is not the case like henry armstrong who had an very impressiv record, but wasnt that impressiv in terms of physical atributes and skills. If you watch tape, what did he mostly do? Attacking with head first, being completly open for hooks or uppercuts and brawling relentless threw his opponents, while being mostly with no guard.

2 days left before GGG tko's Canelo

Get your pop corn ready this fight has foty written all over the place. I would be shocked if canelo beats ggg. I mean BEAT not wards way of beating opponents. A clear win, not a currupt win where 75 % of the media has it for the opponent.

I have to admit; this thread is as shit as it is funny.

I almost choked on my beer (thrice).

Jip - can I ask how old you are? If you're older than 17, I'll do 100 (press ups) - all at once.

This is comedy gold. I'm pretty sure Peter Cook couldn't write this. :doh:

Why don't you pick the full schedule of the Super Middle and Cruiser Tournaments?

I seriously doubt that, but anyway; predict the full Super Middle and Cruiser Tournaments. They're certainly more difficult.
