Who R Some of those Fighters that ALWAYS Seem to Fuck Up your Otherwise GLOSSY PreDICKtion Record???...Those Guys that ALWAYS Seem to FAIL U, whether U Pick them to WIN or LOSE???... For REED, it's Gotta B Juan Diaz... REED Didn't Make a Prediction on the Fight, but REED Was SURPRISED when Diaz Beat Lakva Sim for the Title...Not Cause Sim was GREAT or Anything, but Because REED had Very LITTLE Respect for Diaz... Then, REED Picked Freitas to BEAT Diaz...That Fight Made REED a Believer N the Baby Bull, so he Picked him to Beat Julio Diaz & Nate Campbell (REED Actually Started a "Does Nate Campbell have ANY Chance of Beating Juan Diaz" Thread::)...We All Know how the Campbell Fight Went Down...Recently, REED Picked Katsidis to BEAT Juan Diaz... Another Fighter REED could NEVER Really Handicap was Diego Corrales...REED Picked Chico to BEAT Floyd Mayweather...REED Picked THE WRONG Guy N All 3 Chico-Casa Fights::...& REED Picked THE WRONG Guy N BOTH Chico-Castillo Fights::... Those R the 2 Guys that REED has had PROBLEMS Handicapping Over the Years...Name Yours.... REED:hammert:
Easy one...Hasim Rahman. I think I've had one fight correct for him when I decided to make a pick and was confident about it (beating Kali Meehan). Everything else has been with disastrous results (yeah, I know there are some gimmes that he's fought besides these, but I don't really count those) I was wrong on the result for: both Maskaev fights, both Lewis fights, both TUA fights, both Toney fights, the Ruiz fight, t the Monte Barrett fight, and the Holyfield fight. DAMN :nono:
Ooooh!!!....Rahman's a GOOD 1:cheer:... He SCREWED REED N the RE w/Lennox, the Holy Fight, the 1st Toney Fight & the RE w/Maskaev... REED:kidcool:
Cotto. I picked against him, even the Gomez fight I picked against him from the Abdullaev fight. I even thought he lost to Ndou and booed the decision when I was in the arena::. I say, okay, he's better than I thought, so then I pick him against Margarito. I was glad that I was wrong though.:hammert:
I dunno i think you have some guys you can't figure out then maybe some fights where you are dead sure and right... and the rest is 50:50. So in the end most people are like 50:50 i'd say. Of course after getting odds into calculation.
Rahman was the first one to come to mind. Barrera has been really difficult in the last 3 years or so.
Rahman fucked me outta my money both times against Lennox although I really felt great about the second time. ::
I don't know if Cotto lost to N'dou but it was certainly one of the toughest fights he's been in. And by the fight's end, he was basically running from N'dou and getting hit with big right hands repeatedly. N'dou definitely out-lasted him in that fight.
Two of this weekend's players - Nate Campbell and Joel Casamayor. Starting with their head-on matchup five years ago, I've wrongly picked: Caamayor-Campbell Casamayor-Corrales I Casamayor-Kid Diamond (to a degree - I picked KD to win, and a case could be made for it being correct) Casamayor-Corrales III Campbell-Kid Diamond (to this day, Nate STILL Doesn't let me live it down ::) Campbell-Peden I Campbell-Hlatswayo Campbell-Juan Diaz (although I never made an official prediction on the fight) And of course, I'm picking both fighters to lose this weekend. Oddly enough w/ Casa, one of the few notable fights of his I've correctly predcited was his knocking out Katsidis.
And even in this one, you were as close as you can be from being wrong. :: At one point, Casa really looked ready to go.
I love this thread, but I can't think of anyone. I talk trash and get the odd fight wrong, but honestly, I'm top level when it comes to consistency.
Junior Witter. I picked Zab to beat him obviously, but since then i've picked against him many times, including the harris fight, and the ONLY time I've ever picked him to win a fight was against Bradley :: I'm sure there are others but I can't think.
yeah I think the key here is there are certain people who are very inconsistent. James Toney would come to mind. As would someone like Joshua Clottey, who is a toss-up for me almost every time out.
