Once I did all that I decided to flip open some books & magazines and read.

I read Sports Illustraded:GREATEST RIVALRIES (only the boxing sections ) and I wen't through a hand full of The Ring Mag., Worl Boxing and others. I then moved on to my Ring Almanacs that I have and started looking into things and heres 3 things that caught my eye that I'd like to see/read what your opinions are.


1994 - The Ring Magazines Upset of the year was given to Vuyani Bungu over Kennedy McKinney. At the time Bungu was 23-2 while McKinney was 27-0-1 and the reigning IBF Super Bantamweight Champ he had defeated Ncita, Duran, Zavala & Salud to establish himself as the best Super Bantam around. Bungu was coming off 2 loses one of those loses was to the then undefeated future Champ Freddie Norwood the other loss he would avenge it a few months later, being only a champ in South Africa.

I was going through some sources and came up with this fight that I think should have been 'Upset of the Year 1994'

Steve Little over Michael Nunn. At the time Little was 21-13-2 while Nunn was 42-1 and the reigning WBA Super Middleweight Champ he had defeated Tate, Kalambay, Barkley, Curry, Cordoba & Morgan. His only defeat was to James Toney at his best. Little was coming back from being off for a little over a year. In his last 11 fights he was 5-5-1. loosing back to back to Terry Norris, Dave Hilton & John David Jackson. His best win on his record prior to this fight was sadly a win over Pipino Cuevas who was WAAAAAAAYYY past his best days. Though this was a close fight the fact of the matter is that no one gave Little a chance in hell that he would walk out victorious from this fight and he did.


My thing is how did thy determine that the Bungu win was a bigger upset over the Little win. If you ask me Little takes this one for upset of the year. I have 2 more things to dish out but it's getting late here so I'll add the other 2 tommorrow.


This is an easy question to answer if you seen both fights. Vuyani Bungu not only beat Kennedy McKinney he pretty much dominated him. And at that time McKinney was consider close to being a top P4P fighter. The fact that Bungu was so unknown made it more shocking. Little beating Nunn was a surprise, but if you see the fight you'll see that Nunn in reality had done enough to win. He just didn't get the win. Not only that, Nunn had pretty much had been going through the motions ever since his lost to James Toney. He had only just been getting by. It was only a matter of time untill someone out worked him. And Little did.
I see your points, Gues it's just me who sees it different.
CC. For your thoughts on this.
