Wayne Braithwaite KO'd Cuban Olympian Joan Pablo Hernandez today. That is certainly an upset although Braithwaite imo, has always been very dangerous.
I woulnd't say the Godfrey fight was an upset. He wasn't even the betting favourite here in Europe. Kraj fighting at home was odds on to win unless Godfrey knocked him out.

Nah many people thought Casamayor would come in fired up and interested for Katsidis fight unlike he was in Cruz fight. I was one of those people but sorry i have quickly pull Bilbo up on something.
Bilbo you said Katsidis went life and death with Graham Earl are you kidding me mate ?? except for the flash knockdown in the 2nd round Katsidis gave Earl a one sided beating and Earl would only show flashes of offense.

Ice his legs completely went. If he was in there with anyone other than Graham Earl he'd would have got sparked after knockdown. It's only becuase Earl was a light hitter and was on the verge of being knocked out himself that he couldn't capitalise.
I'm sorry but anyone who gets almost KTFO by Graham Earl should never have been a betting favourite against Casamayor.
He only confirmed that further with his life and death (even you'll agree on this one) struggle with Czaar Amonsat, a complete unknown who took him to the brink.
And the funny thing is I stil think Casa is largely done, it's just Katsidis is a club fighter with a big heart and a good stamina.
He'll lose to any of the top 5 at lightweight, even David Diaz Ko's him imo.

Agree there, Katsidis' legs don't hold up very well at all when he gets tagged.
