Fights in which you KNEW the underdog would win.

[ruthless rocco]

Rahman over Lewis
Cotto over Martinez

[Beanflicker]

Buster Douglas over Tyson
Ray Leonard over Hagler
Ali over Liston and Foreman

Only because I knew the results before I watched the fights though.

[El Kabong]

Wlad over Sam Peter I (easy looking back on it but at the time EVERYONE thought Peter was going to win)
Wright over Mosley
Thompson over Solis I (Tony wasn't the underdog in the rematch)

....not sure what other ones I've called....Cotto over Abdullaev which was a rematch of an amateur bout that Cotto lost.

Calzaghe/Lacy. Everyone now says Lacy was shit, but they were all picking him. Calzaghe was always a league above a face first brawler. Boxing experts are a bit like leading economists. They have the loudest voices, but the rich are richer because they work for the machine.

BULLSHIT, I do not believe you

Some were picked on favoritism and some you just KNEW

Hopkins vs Trinidad. Still scratching my head over how Hopkins was made to sound a afterthought
Simon Brown vs Terry Norris 1..just had that sneaking feeling after initial cancellation
Holyfield vs Tyson 1...still remember some press heads saying they feared for his life
Sorjaturong vs Chiquita Gonzalez
Azumah Nelson vs Jeff Fenech II...regardless of first fight 'draw' still no clue how it was thought an upset.
Frankie Randall vs J.C Chavez I...Randall was just so damn sharp and supremely confident. In another life and minus the demons and vices Randall should have been so much more.
Nigel Benn vs Gerald McClellan...the phenomenal bricks of Jackson aside the G-man had never faced anything close to Benn.
Joseph Agbeko vs Vic The crab
Rafa Ruelas vs Oscar De La Hoya...ok I was wrong there. Terribly wrong and borderline delusional dislike wrong

I'm proud to say I always said Lacy was shit. If people would look past his muscles to watch the action they would have known that too. People can't see past the "talent" to see the fighter.

This was no major upset though even to the bookees. Lacy was a very slight favorite.

I won big on Holyfield over Tyson, that was my biggest win for years. Tyson was another guy people could never see for what he really was, Pacquiao too. When folks start to realize greatness comes from the mind not from athleticism it will become hard to fleece them.

Wright v Shane as he had beaten up all our brush fighters with ease and Mosely was just too small to beat Wright.

[Fenster]

A lot of these fights mentioned weren't really shocking underdog upsets.

Barrera was around a 4/1 dog against Naz and Morales - first time - but plenty fancied him.

I backed Prescott to chin Khan at 125/1. Pure luck with hindsight. Yeah...

Buster Douglas over Tyson
Ray Leonard over Hagler
Ali over Liston and Foreman

Ali over Liston ? How old are you ? 90

Lopez vs Loma

[ruthless rocco]

Trump vs Biden

[SlimTrae]

Maidana over Broner. Wrong style, only Floyd can lean back against the ropes & use that elbow for defense. I felt Adrian used his legs to move, not stick and move. And as soon as he settles Marcos would work him over.
