Fights that you got wrong (British & Irish version)
Well gentlemen, let's have it...
Re: Fights that you got wrong (British & Irish version)
One that I got tremendously wrong was the unification fight between Haye and Maccarinelli... I picked Enzo to knock him out!
What Haye did to him was cold...

I also thought that Ricky had a solid chance at getting at Floyd...
In retrospect, think it was a combination of favouritism and my dislike for Floyd taking over...

Re: Fights that you got wrong (British & Irish version)
i've got plenty wrong, thoguh i am sure there is a good excuse for all of them
picking Haye to massacre Bellew was probably a particular low point, though

Re: Fights that you got wrong (British & Irish version)
I remember Haye tagging Bellew with a big right in the rematch and Bellew shrugging his shoulders to say 'that didn't hurt'. Haye should have jumped on Bellew but instead he also shrugged his shoulders.Counter-puncher wrote: ↑28 Sep 2021, 08:04 i've got plenty wrong, thoguh i am sure there is a good excuse for all of them

Re: Fights that you got wrong (British & Irish version)
Always had it in the back of my mind Benn could swing a haymaker while rocked himself and pull it off (though when I saw footage of G-Man training at Peacock with lats wider than a cruiserweights I was like ‘okay, f-uck’). I didn’t expect what occurred - he (Nigel) was awesome. You saw shock on McClellan’s face in R2.

Bellew tactics. He did that against Usyk too..bennie wrote: ↑28 Sep 2021, 08:31I remember Haye tagging Bellew with a big right in the rematch and Bellew shrugging his shoulders to say 'that didn't hurt'.

Clearly hurt, but just shrugs his shoulders.

I fully expected Klit to beat Fury. I couldn’t get the Cunningham fight out my mind and thought that across the 12 Wlad would eventually land a big one.

Frotch Groves 2
Maybe I was just willing George to win, heart over head.
Whyte Joshua
Thought Dillion had the experience over Joshua at the time. AJ was a beast, but Whyte was very tough and keen enough to bring it to Joshua, who had been bullying his way up.
Wlad Fury
Fury just hadn't boxed at that level before, he had shown us nothing like that before, and of course somehow got in Wlad's head

Re: Fights that you got wrong (British & Irish version)
I’m with you on froch vs groves 2, I thought it would be tight but defo thought groves showed enough in first fight to win the second. I made the error of going to the second fight and being Devastated with the KO, the fight was warming up nicely and I thought George was doing well.KiwiRider wrote: ↑28 Sep 2021, 16:38 Frotch Groves 2

Aj v Usyk
I thought AJ was going to send him to the shadow realm and couldn't believe all the people picking Usyk.
I lost a good bit of money as well backing that opinion.

Haye is arguably the best salesman in British boxing..margaret thatcher wrote: ↑28 Sep 2021, 20:04 there was an absolute pumping haye bandwagon for the wlad fight who were sure he was demolishing the big stiff dosser
He made everyone believe and then he is British after all.

Re: Fights that you got wrong (British & Irish version)
I rarely call it right. I was absolutely convinced Groves would beat Froch in their second fight. I just could not see how Froch could win unless he caught him clean........ and he caught him clean, so.....
Price v Thompson 1 and 2
Haye v Bellew 1 and most certainly 2
Hatton v Senchenko, I think we all expected Ricky to win that
Hatton v Floyd, for some misguided reason, I thought Ricky would be all over him
McGuigan v Cruz
Christ, there's loads, I'm f*cking sh*t
