Re: Fights in which you KNEW the underdog would win.
I think one of the most famous ones in the UK was Ryan/Thaxton.
Ryan may have been 22-0 and the champ and this fight was non title and Thaxton was moving up in weight and 3-3 in his six fights previous. But it was well known style wise it was a horrible matchup for Scrap Iron; there was plenty of money on the big underdog, all the rumours about the outcome were even hinted at on TV and two minutes after the first bell Thaxton had duly flattened Ryan...
