Nervous when your favorite fighter is fighting?

Kimmy, thanks for the advise.. but did you read my first post? LOL

No i didn`t read it, you said the same thing lol! Well, that`ll teach me to pay more attention in the future!

I was nevious when Toney came in at 233 for his fight with Ruiz. I thought ( i think others will agree ) that Toney had already blown it. Thankfully, Toney pulled it out but a near heart attack!

I bet against my favorite fighter. I bet for him to loose! (Two reasons)
1) I am very unlucky when it comes to betting on a winner. 90% of the time, I loose
2) If my fighter wins, than who cares if I loose the money! If he looses, well, at least you made some dough.
But if you bet on your favorite fighter, he looses AND you loose the money? That's too much of a pain!

Thus my advise to you: if you bet, bet against!

Oh yes, BTW.. Same theory I apply in reverse
So when I don't like a fighter (like Toney) I bet on him Vs. Ruiz.
I knew he would win.. he is a very good fighter, but I just don't like his personality.. So if Toney would loose, I would loose the points but I would still be happy that he lost. And if he wins (as he did) I win points along the way.

But all you other Toney haters bet on Ruiz, which was SOOOO ******.. Toney still won AND you lost all your points!

True, but like tonight, i don`t like Joe Calzaghe but i bet a few pounds on him winning in either the first or second round as i really feel he`ll win in the opening two frames. I just want money i gues lol.
But a simular bet for me would be to bet on Chico Corrales. I hate the guy and if he lost i wouldn`t mind losing the money cos the woman beater would have been defeated!

i also get very nervous when my favorite fighter is fighting i am a big trinidad fan i was really nervous in his comeback fight against mayorga with the 2 yr. layoff it was the most nervous i have been for one of his fight . but what is worst is when you you know your fighter is going to loose a fight after watching a couple of rnds. and you have to sit thru it and hear **** from your friends . biggest example is when trinidad fought hopkins after about rnd. 4 i knew that he was going to loose but i had to sit thru the pain until the tko in the 12th. that was brutal .

I would say that i get nervous when i watch my favourite fighter. But in his words "all i have to do is turn up and ive won". This guy is simply the best. Naz Comeback??

No but seriously i do get kinda nervous when watchin live. Which is rare for me. But when i watched Howard Eastmam against Bernard Hopkins i was on edge of seat. Gotta support those from the UK u c.

Videos and DVD's take this factor away nevertheless.

You guys didn't read my original post as to:

what to do when you know you will be too nervous

I definitely get nervous, But i don't tend to bet against my fighter unless I know he is going to lose, and has no chance whatsoever. For me it's victory and cash, or loss and lost money. Betting against your fighter is bad luck I believe.
