2008 - Year of the upset

[Tito BHB]

Too many upsets this year

Lol.. Cant believe it, First Diaz, Now Lee.. Really didnt like the stoppage but Fair game to brian vera..

Certainly gives you an eye for who could be the next underdog to pull of a big upset..

Everytime from now on we gotta be mindful when we say things like, Damn why these guys duddy or this guy gomez wana fight cotto and pavlik.. cos although we havent seen upsets like this in a while.. this the stuff that reminds you about boxing.. Shit really happens and people get upset, anything can happen

[Macho]

Is true my friend , Is like P.Williams vs Quintana......a lot of people even thought that going happen........

[Spicoli]

Nice point. Hey....Maybe there IS hope For Tye Fields after all Lol??

Ok,Ok he's the exception and will in fact be dismantled in the big fights

Exactly Bro, Game Challenger.. Took it from under Williams nose.. Thats how its been happening..

And Lol.. Unlikely Gomez takes cotto.. But not an impossibility.. Beware the year of the upset

Come on Forbes!

[Tito BHB]

Come on Forbes!

Haha Shit yeah man.. Oscar is oscar but for this one he has to go down

Such a fight is this where he has actually for once become the bad guy..

To take forbes a former world champ at what 125 130 pounds?.. Who now fights okay against ok competition at 140 pounds.. as a warm up for a floyd fight at 147.. and to not even make 147 for the warm up and have this little guy make a catch weight of 150.. is just crazy..

Forbes By frickinn Knockout YO!.. That would be the shit

Cotto is da man in that division. But sh1t can still happen. We'll never know.

Juan Diaz is overrated. Pac wouldve KOd him to oblivion.

I always felt Juan Diaz was underrated.. When he was just the wbo champion fighting no named game fighters i thought he was one of the best and liked the guy, but stil gave him littl chance against frietas.. he done frietas, i knew he would have Julio Diaz but he looked better then i expected, was entertaining.. Then instead of going downhill he gets upset and falls of the cliff.. i dont think he was every really rated highly enough to say he was over rated alot of people i think kept it real and admitted he was good.. but didnt give him enough props to hype him too much

Yeah there have been a few quality upsets so far this year. Makes things really interesting for the sport imo, forces you to try and look into upcoming matchups as much as possible, look for things you wouldn't have first thought about. Also reminds me to never criticize a big underdog for wanting to fight the best, they always see something we don't. I want to go out on a limb and pick the next great upset of this year but I can't think of a good possibility at the moment.

Rees wasn't an upset. Vegas had him as the substantial underdog. You all just wanted him to win.

[Puerto Rican Punch]

I believe that this type of upsets are good for boxing, making it more interesting for the fans

Without upsets or the prospect of upsets, boxing would have been long dead.

upsets like gomez over cotto will kill boxing. not all upsets are good. Douglas over tyson was kinda bad for boxing also. it killed the invincibility of iron mike tyson. His ora captured the whole world, even non boxing fans knew him.
