Any who...


2002 - The ring Magazines Upset of the year was given to Juan C. Rubio over Francisco Bojado. At the time Rubio was 27-6-2 while Bojado was 9-0 and having won the WBC Youth Light Welterweight title beating Contreras and Lucero. He was a very much talked about 'prospect' and great things were expecte of him. Rubio was coming off 2 losses one of those loses was to someone he had beaten earlier in his career. He had picked up the IBA Americas Welterwieght title and his best win on his record prior to this fight was over Zavala who was 24-5-2. He had experience and ring tactics over Bojado. (title)

So like the previous fight I started doing dome research and found this fight.

Juan Valenzuela over Julio Diaz. At the time Valenzuela was 14-4 while Diaz was 24-1 having only lost to Angel Manfredy in a IBF eliminator bout. That fight was won by Manfredy due to the point deduction Diaz was given for low blows. With victories over Sencion for a NABA title, Esalas nothing major but he had fought very good opposition up until this fight and was already a contender. Valenzuela was coming off a loss and his best win prior to this fight was over Damian Fuller who was 13-1, he also lost a dec. to Quinonez for the WBC Fecarbox Lighweight title.

I think this win from Valenzuela over 'The Kid' Diaz was a much bigger upset as far as boxing goes, There was no reason why Valenzuela should have KO'ed Diaz in 1 rd. it was a total upset. Bojado had just 9 wins and despite ALL the hype WE (when I say we please note I include myself) created about him this fight should not be the upset of the year. Rubio is tough and rugged even after they fought the second time Rubio was still there trading with Bojado.


(God I can't wait to see what Starr has to say about this )
