I remember thinking that Moseley would beat Margarito, whereas most were picking Margarito because of the relative results Vs Cotto. At the time Margarito was seen as having an ATG chin, and Moseley was already on the slide a bit.

Hopkins - Pavlik.
I could be wrong but I think I got 4-1 on Hopkins to win by any method. Seems crazy now looking back but Pavlik was a huge favourite even at a catch weight of 170

He was very simple stylistically, jab, jab, straight right and repeat. However he was very good at what he did.
I picked him to beat Hopkins as I thought Hopkins was too old but I did always think he was tailor made for Calzaghe to school him.

Joyce - Dubois
Groves - Eubank Jr (that one really baffled me. I couldn't see any way Eubank won that unless he was extremely lucky)
Ruiz - AJ (I had AJ favourite but I kept saying Ruiz was a serious fighter, when most called him a joke)

Re: things most ppl were wrong about (but you werent)
Gomez to beat Arthur
Woods to beat hoye
Warrington to do selby
Bellew to beat haye (everyone will say that’s an easy pick but in reality loads were up Hayes backside in the build up)
Joyce vs Dubois
Holyfield to do Tyson
Williams to do tyson
MAB to do naz (hysterical how every Kunt seemed to favour Barrera nowadays)

Mosley Margarito I put a big bet on that one. Think Mosley was 4/1.
Re: things most ppl were wrong about (but you werent)
That was one where I also picked against the grain. Strange to think it now, but Pavlik was a massive favourite.
I also picked Hopkins to beat Tarver when he was a big underdog.
