Following on from the predictions you were most wrong about what fights did you get bang on? I don’t mean you thought fighter A beats fighter B, I mean you got the exact round or were right about the scorecards?

I remember putting money on Tyson knocking out Carl Williams in the 1st. I never normally bet but I was so convinced I went and put a bet on it. I know Tyson was the favourite but I was still impressed I got it bang on the money.

I too, had Tyson in one over Williams.

Curry over McCrory in 2.

Bowe over Gonzalez in 6.

Otherwise, it was my usual ineptitude.

Hasim Rahman KO 4 Kali Meehan (on the money)
Jermain Taylor KO 7 Alex Bunema (on the money)
Glen Johnson W12 Antonio Tarver (my proudest pick)
Winky Wright W12 Shane Mosley

I'm pretty sure I was going for Usyk to beat Fury, but I don't remember any of the recent ones as well as I do the ones from when I first got bit by the Boxing bug

The HBO broadcasts just seer into my mind better I guess.

I rarely get the exact round right but I did feel that Itauma would KO Whyte in a round or two.

The most recent is Zhang KO 5 Wilder, I was low on money at the time and asked my brother to put a 100 € bet on it, he didn't

Yes I predicted the 2nd on one of the threads

Gutted!!

No one can beat some guy on Twitter who predicted the exact second Usyk would beat Dubois in their first fight, he posted it on the 21st August and the fight was on the 26th

“Dubois will fight Usyk the way people wanted AJ to and it’ll make him look dangerous for the first 4-5 rounds and ultimately will be the reason why he gets stopped in 2 minutes and 11 seconds into the 9th round. #LogIt”

This one wasn't exact but I do recall being absolutely certain that Dominic Breazeale wasn't going to survive 3 rounds with Wilder. He was too slow and too easy to hit.

Quite a few over the years, but one that stands out is Canelo vs Khan. I was watching in a casino in London with a mate who's a degenerate gambler but not au fait with the sweet science and he demanded that I tell him what round to bet on. I said Canelo in 6 and when we got there he turned to me angrily saying, 'You've given me a shit bet! Khan's obviously going to win!' and I pointed to the screen and there he was, flat on his back for the full count. The timing was incredible.

Two upsets that I predicted were that Hopkins would outpoint Pavlik,
and that Simon Brown would knock out Terry Norris.

The exact round or just you thought Brown would stop him?

Not the exact round, but I said early. I felt that Norris would be overly confident and that he didn't have a great chin.

Donaire v darchinyan 1

Leonard TKO 8 Duran. In all honesty, I expected Leonard to be battering Duran on the ropes and the ref would stop it. In retrospect, that sounds crazy, but Leonard by round 8 TKO was my prediction.

I called Leonard-Hearns I and the round correct.

Evander Holyfield vs Mike Tyson

That's terrific, The rematch was an easy call-Holyfield early- I didn't expect a DQ but a TKO. First bout shocked me.
