Thread: Shockingly lopsided fights of 2009

Well I was surprised to see Cotto get taken out the way he did, I was surprised to see how bad Marquesz looked against Mayweather, surprised to see Margarito get knocked out....not that I thought any of them would win but I didnt think it would be so lopsided.

What fight surprised you?

Ward vs Kessler
Guzman vs Funeka
Bute vs Andrade 2
Williams vs Wright
Bradley vs Peterson

jmm offered no trouble at all to floyd. surprising, this was supposed to be a megafight with 1 million ppv buys?

I was surprised at the ease in which Agbeko beat Vic, it was not a close fight and Vic took a beating.

Pacquiao - Cotto wasn't totally one-sided until the later rounds. Cotto was actually a lot more competitive early than I thought he would be.

As for the question, Ward - Kessler is the one which really sticks out for me. Kessler was never even in the fight.

The way Salgado blitzed Linares.

Same here. Losing is something but the way he did... I never saw it coming.

Pavlik - Hopkins. Thought it would be close but more then gave Pavlik a chance. Instead was a one-sided Bhop clinic in lateral movement and ring smarts. Pavlik punching straight forward at a guy who wasn't there, and getting hit like he was surrounded.

That was 08 my man.

pacquiao-hatton
mayweather-marquez
khan-barrera
williams-winky

Bute-Andrade
Mayweather-Marquez

I thought the guys who won would win, but the way they did it was surprising.

Which brings me to my next subject DON'T DO DRUGS...

These were already mentioned but the two that got me was Williams/Winky and Ward/Kessler. I was utterly shocked how easy these guys won. I wavered in picking a winner before the fight but if I was told the fight was dominated by one fighter I would've thought it was the guy who lost in each bout.

Time flies so fast. Pavlik-Hopkins seems to have happened in 09.

For me it would have to be Hatton V Pacman, seriously didnt think in my wildest nightmares that would have happened
