Astrology In Fighting... Interesting perspective

[The Noose]

Lewis may have been the official favorite but most boxing fans were undecided or slightly favored Rahman. I remember ESPN doing documentaries on Rahman and really trying to portray him as the Great AMERICAN HOPE.

And to answer your question Astrology is just one avenue I use when predicting fights and judging fighters' talents and abilities.

The first thing I look for when breaking down a fight is which fighter is smarter (i.e. boxing iq). Then I look at technical ability and fundamentals. I want to see which fighter has better footwork and overall boxing ability.

After I get done looking at all that I'll take a peak a birthdates. I take as much as I can into consideration.

I'm only specifically talking about astrology in this thread because this is an astrological thread.

If this was another redundant Manny-Floyd thread then I'd be talking about Mayweather's speed and boxing iq, not his sign.

But how do u know Astrology works with ur predictions?

Like i said, if the boxer u predicted to win loses. Would u just say the other factors were stronger then the astrological ones.
So then how would u ever know if astrology plays a definitive role?

Let me make myself clear.

Just because you're born a certain sign does not automatically mean that you're going to be good or bad at boxing.

Your sign will determine things like how you react to adversity, aggression, heart, willpower, etc...

Basically astrology is an intangible.

Of course. I'll give you an example where Astrology was overpowered by other factors.

Mike Tyson v. Buster Douglas

Astrologically speaking, Tyson's chart was superior to Douglas'. Yet Douglas scored the upset.

Other factors contributed to the upset like:

* Mike Tyson was dealing with personal turmoil outside of the ring
* Mike Tyson was no longer training seriously
* Mike Tyson's team was unbelievably incompetent at the time
* Buster Douglas used the death of his mother as motivation

Astrology has to be used with the mindset "if all things are even..."

As you know in boxing as well as life, all things aren't always even going into a given event.

As you know in boxing as well as life, all things aren't always even going into a given event.

But with things rarely being even (assessing whether 2 fighters are evenly matched is very subjective in itself) how do u know the determining factor was astrological?

Could it be that you could first find a pattern in a group of people (lets say world champions who are Capricorns and are power punchers), then project the pattern onto the star sign, saying Capricorns in general are power punchers. Instead of firstly looking at the star signs characteristics, then determining which fighters will be power punchers. Did that make sense?

Looking for commonalities in fighters, then IF they share star signs, crediting Astrology. Whilst dismissing other commonalities between fighters who dont share star signs.

Some interesting stuff...okay..I am a Aries...born on the year of the Dragon..So what does that mean? I am powerful?

i can say almost for certain that you are a hot head.

short fuse and you have a lot of power. physically and emotionally.

God damn it, you people bragging about making money yet I was given no prediction for my friend's fight. This is getting fishy...

can you re-post?

i can't read every post in this thread.

[Rassclot]

i'm 5-0 since i started this.

i'll keep calling fights based on astrology and see where this goes.



however there will be difficult fights to predict. i would prefer to leave those alone. for example Aries is a wild card. Aries on any given day can beat anybody but can be inconsistent.

Here you go brother.

I want to put it up for a test.

I have no idea what you base it out of but one of my friends is fighting this weekend.

I'll give you two names and their birthday I want to know who's gonna win.

Juan Alvarado
bornMarch 18th 1992

Emmanuel Osuna
born May 9th 1982

also these two fighters,
one born on
july 12th 1991

and the other one on
june 19th 1986

Hope you give me a possitive outcome

[Rassclot]

Here you go brother.

the guy born in march loses it looks like.


the other 2 r close.


don't quote me though because astrology is most prevelent at the highest level of combat. in the amature scene and contender scene, the skill level disparity, personal drive disparity, and athleticism disparity can be a total toss-up. i mean the guy with the stronger cchart can be someone with a crap trainer and is completely out of shape. as i've always said, a skilled aquarius would beat an unskilled capricorn.

but at the highest level of competition those factors are buffed out and comparative. that is why astrology can be prominent then.
