RJJ-Tito is well over 90% in favor of Jones. There's always going to be a favorite, but it's not always overwhelming on a board of boxing fans. I believe Marquez-Pac was pretty close. Likewise Taylor-Wright. Both ended up being draws. :: Mayweather-ODLH was very close too. Not sure how many people who picked Oscar were just hoping to see Mayweather KO'd though. What other fights was the board closely split on in terms of predictions? (not just cheerleading one way or the other)
Jones/Ruiz-Roy fans said Roy, haters said Ruiz. It's about 50/50 on this board and it was in 03 as well.
I have a Ring Mag where the predictions were also very close when they asked a lot of people close to the sport. If there's any interest i'll post who they asked and what they each said. As for the board here, I don't know how many people actually thought Ruiz would win, or if they were just hoping Roy would get KO'd.
