i wont speak on fights i didnt see live or have a rooting interest in, prior to them taking place.

 

Yeah, honestly, I had been drinking when I made this thread and probably got a little carried away. ::

 

I thought the idea was more "which guy do you prefer as a guy? who would you root for?"

If it was "who did you pick to win?" my responses would be different for some of these

 

his first post asks who you were rooting for. hard to root for a guy if you werent really paying attention to boxing when the fight occurred. i was 2 years old when duran fought leonard.
