I made the following predictions on September 24th for my mate. I'm currently 9 for 9 with winner and method correct. There are 7 left as Williams v Pavlik is off. I had no money on an accumulator. A few favourites, but all were important fights and to get the method right too is pretty good going.
9/26: Vitali Klitschko v. Cristobal Arreola - Klitschko TKO
Bernard Dunne v Poonsawat - Poonsawat KO CERT!!!!
10/3: David Tua v. Shane Cameron - Tua KO
10/02: Audley Harrison to win Prizefighter tournament - CERT!!!!
Allan Green v. Victor Oganov (late substitute was Tarvis Simms) - Green Points (MAY KO him)
10/03: John Murray v John Thaxton - Murray KO - CERT!!!
10/17: Arthur Abraham v. Jermain Taylor - Abraham KO
Carl Froch v. Andre Dirrell - Froch Points
10/24: Tomasz Adamek v. Andrew Golota - Adamek TKO
Here are my final 7,
11/7: Nicolay Valuev v. David Haye - Haye Points (Risky one)
11/7: Chad Dawson v. Glen Johnson II - Dawson Points (I'd say a banker at what should be good odds for a points win)
11/14: Manny Pacquaio v. Miguel Cotto - Cotto TKO (Could go either way)
11/21: Mikkel Kessler v. Andre Ward - Kessler Points
12/2: Roy Jones Jr. v. Danny Green - Jones Jr Points
12/3: Carlos Quintana v. Verno Phillips - Quintana TKO
12/5: Kelly Pavlik v. Paul Williams - Williams TKO (Williams will be the underdog)
12/12: Vic Darchinyan v. Tomas Rojas - Darchinyan PointsRead More
I think Kessler will take an unspectacular win on points over Ward and then take out Froch in brutal fashion. I think Kessler will beat either Dirrell or Abraham in the final.
Bobby, when you have time, watch John Murray v Jon Thaxton on youtube. He is the British Lightweight champion and Amir Khan avoided him like the plague. I think he is genuine world class. The fight only lasts 3 and a half rounds but let me know what you think.
I just think that if Holyfield was able to avoid a heavy shot and (IMO) beat Valuev and Chagaev can beat him, then Haye should be able to win on points fairly comfortably.
He looks at him for 1 round and then just walks him down. Thaxton is a quality domestic level fighter with legitimate power and this was an anticipated match.
He is calm, throws hard straight shots and has a good short left hook, has good footwork and defence and is spiteful when he has a man in trouble.
DAMN!!!!
I am now 11 for 11 with winner and method of victory correct.
