I have too many 'wrongs' to list here...worst one was Tye Fields. :verysad: :oops:
Haha. Dont think I can top that! Be suprised if anyone can. On a positive note, your honesty is appreciated 🤣
Honest to a fault. I wasn't even on this forum when I started watching the big fella! So there's no evidence. I think it's just freakin' hilarious. He got sparked out by a guy named Jeff ford and I still watched him until he got smeared by Monte Barrett in his first real fight. I had some good ones too. Watched Wilder from before his Olympic Bronze; SRL from before Montreal Olympics, remembering him being robbed in some tourney before that in Russia, to name two good ones. :maybe:
Think those picks just about redeem your Tye Fields pick. Great pick on Wilder. Dont think anyone predicted him picking up a strap and in with a chance of becoming number 1 in the division.

Thanks! I love my big mistakes, as they really make me laugh! :TU:

Still think Liam William's could surprise a few people ... Still relatively young and will have learnt alot from the Smith defeats.

I think Lewis Ritson loss will prove in his favour and he will rebound stronger from it. I think he could go all the way.

As far as I am concerned 'undefeated' is a tag, sometimes fighters are better losing it.

Talking about Tye Fields, he once fought Julius Long - that surely has to be a shout for the fight with the tallest combatants ever (Big Sky won in the third).

When I first started following him, Fields' nickname was "Railroad" Tye Fields. My Lord what a bum!

Yes, hopefully it was a learning experience.
Being undefeated either means you haven't been tested, or your brilliant, it's usually the former.
