Thread: Can someone help me list all the upsts this year?

I want to make a list of all the upsets that have taken place this year,there's been so many and I just want to keep track so please feel free to contribute. From the top of my head:

Diaz losing to Campbell

Cas stopping Kats

Quintana w PW

Andy Lee getting stopped(wasn't he supposed to beat Pavlik )

Garcia losing to Lock

Can you guys remember anymore?Thanks.

How in the world was Casamayor beating Katsidis an upset?

It was an absurdity that he was considered a betting favourite considering the only recognisable name on his resume was the mediocre and light punching Graham Earl a man with whom he went life and death.

Casa has a whose who of the lightweight division on his resume and is one of the craftiest, slickest fighters in the game. One bad performance and everyone gets on the Kats bandwagon just like they did the Miranda one.

I was suprised by how close the Casa fight was, I expected Katsidis to get schooled but he did better than I thought.

He should never have been the betting favourite though.

Nearly always when a big punching brawler goes up against a slick crafty boxer the bookies and everyone else seems to think the puncher will steamroller him.

Yet as history shows 8 times out of 10 its the puncher who gets knocked out.

When will people learn?

Kevin Anderson losing to McIntyre again.

Vela over De La Rosa
Bundrage over Ouma

Oh yeah definitely K9 that was a shock, De La Rosa is a bum though, he got stopped by another journeyman with a losing record last year.

I have to agree with bilbo here and say that in no way was Casamayor's Victory over Katsidis an upset.

anyways...

how about

Kassim Ouma just lost to K-9 Bundrage
Although Verno Phillips just beat Corey spinks and Phillips is a good fighter that might be considered an upset
You mentioned Andy Lee losing to Vera
Diaz loosing to Cambell
Also rising star Kiko Martinez 17-0 (14 ko's) lost to unknown Rendall Munroe
Roman Karmazin lost a title to Alex Bunema
i think thats it for now....

Verno Philips beats Cory Spinks
Cristobal Cruz beats Mashaba
Jauregui beats Huerta
Ulrich loses to Barashian
Roman over Ouma

Carlos Quintana beating Paul Williams
Nate Campbell beating Juan Diaz
Cornelius Bundrage beating Kassim Ouma
Alex Bunema beating Roman Karmazin
Brian Vera beating Andy Lee
Verno Phillips beating Cory Spinks

Think most have been nailed. On a smaller note how about oldy and Inactive Reggie Johnson W.12 Top ten Ranked Julio Gonzalez . Though Ive heard the decision was Bad .....

Carlos over Williams
Nate over Diaz
Cruz over Mashaba
Vera over Lee
K9 over Ouma
Philips over Spinks
Bunema over Roman
Barashian over Ulrich



Lesser known fighters and prospects:
Lock over Garcia
McIntyre over Kevin II
Munroe over Kiko
Wayne over Yoan
Cintron over Arias
Zuniga over De Leon Jr.

Oh yeah and who can forget Corrie Sanders being sparked in the first round by some African goat herder

Pretty much all have been named though a couple others.

Matt Godfrey fell to Rudolf Kraj in Germany. Apparently Kraj is pretty good but still, Godfrew was regarded as one of the better prospects. He was Teddy Atlas' favorite.

Wayne Braithwaite KO'd Cuban Olympian Joan Pablo Hernandez today. That is certainly an upset although Braithwaite imo, has always been very dangerous.

Good call on the Matt loss.

Oh ok my badI thought most chose Kats to beat Casamayor judging by how bad Cas looked v Santa Cruz. I think it was still a shock that Cas stopped him.Some nice calls there,amazing to see THAT many upsets by March alone??! Cotto and Margarito better be ready!

Wow, a few I didn't know about there..K9 over Ouma..wow! The contenders seem to be hanging pretty well with the big boys these days.
