Was this some kinda JOKE! :eeeek:

 

That's why I'm ALWAYS extra confident with my picks whenever I find out that you've picked the opposite.

 

::

 

Not sure if that was sarcasm or what?? :dunno:

Care to enlighten me on some examples of when we differed and you were correct? Recently, I had Judah beating Cotto in the upset. Other than that, I think I have done fairly well over the past couple of years.

You can't say that my logic was all that far off last night. I thought that Wright would throw too many punches for Bernard to keep up. And in the rounds that Winky won, it was workrate that did it and not sitting down on his shots.

Hopkins' 42 year old legs did enough to keep the distance and make Winky reach for everything. Winky was not allowed to stay in the pocket long enough, and for that he lost the majority of the rounds.

For the record, I had Hopkins winning 115-113.

In any event, I find it hard to believe that you think I actually deserve to eat crow for a prediction like that

 

Everybody picks wrong, so there's no shame there. But you did say Winky would win easy and it was the opposite of that; Hopkins won quite comfortably.

 

I disagree that Hopkins won quite comfortably. He was out landed in the fight in total punches and there was never a time where Hopkins seemed really in control of the fight (with the possible exception of the 12th).

That was not the type of fight that was won easily either way. Even Hopkins himself said that he did not feel like he had the fight in the bag.

 

Hops landed significantly more power punches, he won that fight clearly.

The only reason you have it close is because you had wright winning easy.

 

I disagree but that was quite funny.::

 

I dunno, bro....I see what you mean in that it was always competitive and not a "one-sided beating"...

But I thought by the 9th Hopkins was pretty much in control, save for the occasional Wright rally which was usually not that effective and often short-lived. Hops swept the last 5 on my card.

And you know punchstats are directional and not to be used as much proof of anything...that being said, per stats Hops outlanded Wright by 63 in the power punch department - and I really question whether Wright really cleanly landed 87 jabs.

Peace.
