Thread: Shock

Which fight where you had how it would go in your head before , but it turned out completely different to what you expected. Mine was Hearns v Duran, I got a bit of a shock how about you.

benn vs gman was expecting first round ko for gman and it looked that way then benn comeback and won most of the rounds unbelievable

i cant comment on most of big fights because wernt around at that time but i expected bigger and stronger tito to give winky quite hard fight then it turns out he shuts tito out unbelievable

Jeff Lacy - Joe Calzaghe. The only coclusion I've come to is just that Lacy choked. It should have been a great fight. Because I KNEW that Calzaghe would engage with Lacy on the inside and I knew that would be a mistake. I literally spent DAYS going over that fight. I downloaded a ton of Calzaghe fights. Downloaded Lacy's career (even though I've seen most of it). Went over it a lot.

First round came around. Bam, inside. Calzaghe got the better but I knew Lacy would make him pay. Instead he looked more worried about the positioning of his trunks. Had a bunch of friends over. About round nine, I just died. The Cotto fight I watched, but I couldn't pay attention. Bout as down in the dumps as I've ever been as a sports fan. Either that or when the Giants lost the World Series in 02. I don't think so though.

That was definitely the biggest shock of my boxing watching career. Most of the mega fights I've only seen in hindsight, and the other ones I can usually predict how the fight is going to go even if I don't pick the winner right.

Outside boxing the biggest dissapointments for me were in NFL football

The Minnesota Vikings losing to the Atlanta Falcons in the 1998 NFC championship game. First team to go 15-1 and not make the superbowl

The Minnesota Vikings losing to the New York Giants in the 2000 NFC Championship. 41-0 was the final score

Lewis Rahman I was another one that threw me for a loop, but I was glad to see Lewis crumble.

Not to steer the topic but damn...Gary missing that field goal was heartbreaking. I was rooting against Atlanta since I hated the whole Dirty Bird thing and the 49ers got screwed out of a victory over them the game before after the officials let the clock run out even though JJ Stokes ran out at Atlanta's 30 with 20 seconds left in the game.

Somebody should mention the Roy Jones Antonio Tarver rematch.

I don't know of a fight where THAT kind of an outcome would have been in anyones mind.

James "Buster" Douglas v Mike Tyson, Tokyo,

comes to mind .

Jones vs Tarver II.
First round Jones won easy, second round he was looking good, then CRACK! He was down in a bad way, he got up though. But the fight was stopped, rightfully so. Very, very shocking. Jones was untouchable.
