I should have left Frevola Dec. Man,I would never again look at majority picks and change my own. Too many mistakes...****. Trizano and Frevola we're my picks today and I got them reversed just before the fight. I mean who did Azaitar Koed? Some bums that everyone else Koed???

Yeah they're teammates but Aljamain was very confident, he didn't say it might be a tough one, he said Frevola all day

I only picked Frevola because I got some good dog odds on him. Was a 50/50 for me. Didn't see how a Moroccan dude with one foot out and 2 years layoff was a guaranteed win over Frevola even though he has heavy hands.
Figured one of them would knock the other out in round 1.

Azaitar was much slower and way too open. He got what he deserved. It would have not gone different than what already happened.

That may be but teammates are often all in on one another without qualifications, can't take much from that.
