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...

Re: Fights in which you KNEW the underdog would win.
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 timeMorales must have been favourite against Manny?

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

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!

Re: Fights in which you KNEW the underdog would win.
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!
