Khan vs. Molina; December 15th
Bradley vs. Peterson II; December 15th
Take your pick!!!
Re: Upset 2012!!! Who's Next???
Is Alvarado the fav over Rios? I would imagine so due to the fact that he's bigger...oh man I better make back my money that I lost against Vic.
Re: Upset 2012!!! Who's Next???
Out of the fights listed above, ICotto has the most chance of being upset by Trout. Not saying that will happen, but there's a decent shot it does.
Re: Upset 2012!!! Who's Next???
pacquiao vs marquez is already the upset of the year.
Re: Upset 2012!!! Who's Next???
I am sure they were calling 2011 the year of the upset.
Re: Upset 2012!!! Who's Next???
I said this for their third fight and I'll say it again. Marquez will win but Pac will get the nod. As for the fourth, it all depends on who aged more. I don't think if Pacquiao officially loses to Marquez it will mean anything in his legacy. After all if you fight long enough you will find your kryptonite a la Norton vs Ali. But do the fickle nature of the uneducated boxing fan who believes that being undefeated is more important than who you fight against I suppose there could be a backlash of sorts.
Anyway as for upsets Im picking Trout to win and I'll give two reasons.
Cotto is a converted boxer who requires his jab to be truly successful. Second Trout is really good at taking the jab away. A third (I know I said two) reason is Leanord Hagler early rounds. If you fight in a stance that is not an inherit one you will have difficulty against movers. I also dare say Cotto never truly beat a classy technician. I'm not saying he can't but historically a converted fighter will have more difficulty fighting a technical mover than a fighter in his natural stance.
Re: Upset 2012!!! Who's Next???
I had been thinking for quite some time now that Nishioka had a real chance to beat Donaire. Thee officials were announced today and now he may need to bring a gun to do it. The virtual smell of Arum almost forced me outside.
Adalaide Byrd!? How does she even judge title fights anymore.
Tony Crebs? Didn't he score Broner/Ponce 99/91. I thought Broner won slim but GMAFB.
Fritz Werner. The token judge that just happens to often judge alongside Crebs.
Promoter judges.

I should clarify that for me an upset is someone who is very/heavily favorite.
If Nishioka wins I would not consider that an upset in my books.
Credit to Rios for moving up in weight and taking on Alvarado. He could have easily tried someone like Silverio Ortiz. If Alvarod wins it would be an upset because Rios is an undefeated former champ but moving up in weight can be the actual battle itself. ;)
Danny is the most emobile fighter I've seen in some time. He reminds me of Zangiff from Street Fighter how he stands and just throws punches turning his waist with arms out. No waist movement no defense. He's there for the taking. An upset yes but not by a lot for me.
Cano ain't to slouch this kid comes to fight and someone like Paulie who likes to use ring generalship will try to outbox him it will be up to Cano to cut the corners and tag Paulie as much as possible. Will most definetly be an upset.
Mares-Moreno can't be considered an upset. Both guys are in their prime evenly matched. I can understand one being favorite over the other. But an upset like I described it, nope.com
If Hatton beats Scechenko meh! I mean who really is Sechenko?
Marquez beats Pac def. not an upset in my books and in about 90% of peoples books he's beat him at the very least 2 out of the 3 times.
Molina beating Khan meh! The way Khans career is going. It would be more of an upset if Khan beats Molina. :-X
Peterson beating Bradley would be an upset.
From the all the ones you listed I would consider Trout beating Cotto a big upset and the only true "upset" per say...
Re: Upset 2012!!! Who's Next???
Agree with all of that Mick. Was going to post something similar, those are just a bunch of solid matchups(wasn't even aware half of them were happening:o) only a couple are really one sided. I haven't even seen Nishioka fight, keep meaning to check him out. I think Moreno will beat Mares convincingly, he's way better imo but might be a little undersized there not sure. Other than that only Cotto or Hatton losing would really be shockers for me. I'm hoping like hell that Rios gets beat up against Alvarado but I do expect him to win there.
Re: Upset 2012!!! Who's Next???
Am I the only one that's picking Morales for the upset this weekend? Please don't forget this post;D
Re: Upset 2012!!! Who's Next???
I'm gonna sling in my couple of remaining upsets.
Thinking Senchenko to stop Hatton and Trout to stop Cotto.
Re: Upset 2012!!! Who's Next???
Re: Upset 2012!!! Who's Next???
Robin Reid to stop Kenny Anderson this weekend;D
Im being genuine! Anderson is a bit chinny. Apparently, although there is no footage I can find of it, Wayne Reed dropped Anderson in his last fight.
Re: Upset 2012!!! Who's Next???
David Haye over Sauerland and all the Klits. ;D

Anderson is going to batter the Englishman, did you see what Burns Braveheart did to Mitchell. Anderson will be thinking of Groves as he batter Reid around the ring.

Anderson got dropped by late replacement Wayne Reed in his last fight. Ricky Burns is a class fighter and leagues above Anderson. I dont think Anderson can hold a shot
Reid looks in good shape for his age as he always will but strangely enough he doesnt look strong. I like Reid and want to see him do well. He does still punch and if he can connect with that Right hook then its all there for him. Put it this way, Reid had the class to win a bronze at the olympics, give Calzaghe one of his closest fights and to win the WBC title by stoppage in Italy. Anderson is at his level here fighting a 41 year old hasbeen.
Reid has an excellent chance to stop Anderson
Re: Upset 2012!!! Who's Next???
Upsets for the sport of boxing yes!
Pac-man won, fair, but didn't get the decision.
Ortiz broke his jaw, what can you do?
Khan lost to Petersen, good I hate the wee cunt!
Khan lost to Garcia, good..... Anybody not know what I'm gonna say here????
I hate the wee cunt!
