    Harris-Witter, but I think most people just chose Harris because they were annoyed with Attraction's Witter spam.

    Williams-Margarito, Gomez-Gatti.

    Gomez-Gatti was the one I found most surprising and comical in very recent times. :lol:

    I hardly ever boast of my picks - or conversely, mock others for theirs - but I just couldn't understand why most were picking Gatti to win.

    Peace.

    but damn, if the numbers were John Kerry'd, it'd have been as true an indicator of the outcome as you can get.

    The boards OFTEN lie.

    I remember an OVERWHELMING victory in the polls on the secondsout forums for Hamed over Barrera.

    Of course...I was on the side of Barrera.....

    Payton's prediction was pretty close to the official scorecards though.

    Yeah, but it wasn't a general consensus - the final picks result was:
    Taylor: 24
    Pavlik:37


    Only people like SlyStaff and Attraction picked Taylor....

    I rarely pick, so you can add one correct prediction for each fight. :tease:

    Ugh. Can we please not drudge up our greatest hits from boards that no longer exist? Next thing you know...

    never mind, not even going to mention it.

    But there is a lot of truth to the overwhelming majority of predictions on this board often panning out.
