    I am a bit surprised that you call Kraj's victory against Godfrey an upset, though? Kraj was the home fighter, has an excellent amateur record (Olympic silver) and has been building a nice name for himself in the Cruiserweight division. Sure, he only has 14 fights to his name, but the extensive amateur career makes up for a lot of experience. All in all, I think 'Kraj on points' was pretty much in the cards for this fight.

    Will be interesting what to make of his WBC mandatory status - last night's fight was an eliminator - as Haye seem unlikely to even consider defending that title against Kraj.
    I called it an upset because I thought Kraj was an underdog in the fight,even though it was in his backyard,mainly because not many may have seen him. And you're totally spot on about all those titles and RING titles on the line. Great stuff this weekend.

    Probably it's because our 'neck of the woods' are different, but I am/was much more comfortable with Kraj than Godfrey

    And it seemed obvious to me that Kraj was supposed to win this - this being in Germany and all. I did predict (in the prediction contest) a Kraj MD, but Kraj won it a bit more comfortable than that. Good for him. I haven't seen the fight (yet), but according to fightnews, the win was well deserved as well.

    It was a GREAT weekend for boxing. I enjoyed watching all three of the big fights. Awesome.
    Campbell vs. Diaz was THE fight though, for sure. Almost as great as last weekend's Marquez vs. Vasquez fight.
