What are some fight predictions you were sure would happen, but never did?
I mean, I was so sure Lombard was gonna obliterate Boestch in devastating highlight reel fashion, then next thing you know, we got like one of the most lackluster fights we've seen up to date.
I was so sure that the Silva vs. Bonnar fight was going the distance because Bonnar's never been stopped before but Silva defied the laws of physics and put a well timed knee on the solar plexus of Bonnar.
I also thought since Nate Diaz was having his way w/ everybody at LW & beat Miller & Cerrone a little worse than Benson did that he could beat Benson. My heart was saying Benson that fight but my mind was thinking Diaz. I'm glad Benson won though.
Just for a bonus, has there ever been a fight where your prediction came right while everybody else disagreed with you?
I called for Velasquez to outstrike & outgrapple JDS pre-155, but everybody disagreed and said the last thing Cain could do was outstrike JDS, maybe just outgrapple him but most expected the 2nd fight to go like the 1st.
Oh & I know people were doubting Barao as well & I believed he'd beat Faber, but everybody said Faber had too much experience for someone like Barao. Glad it came down to a one sided beating lol.
What say you Sherdog?
