Magno vs. The Machine (Results After Stage 1)

Stage 1: The Results

The boxing related battle of Man vs. Machine heated up this week with Stage 1: The Super Middleweights. After very similar predictions, our editor-in-chief (Paul) Magno and (Title Bout Boxing) Machine are level going into a hectic November schedule.

In the first fight, both experts picked the right winner, so they earn a win on their record. As they didn’t predict the correct method or time of stoppage, they don’t get a knockout on their resume. If Taylor had avoided that right hand that landed 14 seconds from the end, Magno would hold a slight edge with a kayo on his record.
