Fights in which you KNEW the underdog would win.

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.

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.

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...

Morales over Pacquiao I
Hopkins over Pavlik
Cotto over Margarito 2

Morales must have been favourite against Manny?

nope Morales was coming off his "loss" to Barrera in their 3rd fight, and Pacquiao was coming off his previous wins against Barrera, 3k Battery, and his draw against JMM, Morales pulling off the win was considered an upset at the time

Can't think of too many massive ones, although Calzaghe - Lacy sticks out.

I knew Tyson Fury would beat Wlad.

You were pretty non-committal till after the event. Then , all of a sudden you turned into a Ross clone.

Calzaghe-Lacy is a good one already mentioned.

We already KNEW Calzaghe had a good chin, we knew he had solid technique, we knew he could punch when he wanted to, we knew he was a winner, we knew he was fighting at home .... and they hyped this bloke up as the second coming of Mike Tyson. Lacy had a good left hook, but he hadn't really fought anyone outside America, he had never been in trouble and he looked tailor made for Calzaghe.

I was right!

Years and years before they fought, when Hamed was still on the way up, I told everyone in the pub that there was this Mexican kid called Marco Antonio Barrera who would bash him up.

And there were witnesses to that conversation!
