We saw some spectacular KO's this year. We had Prescott KO'ing Khan, Casas come from behind peach of a left hook over Kats, Urango almost takes Vilches head off with a hook, AA catched Elvin Ayala with a huge shot. Suprisingly Mirandas KO came happened on Jan. 11 just 11 days into 2008 and it stood the test of time.

Manny Pacquiao defeats Oscar De La Hoya

I personally do not see this as upset but it's not up to me, it's what the people here at Saddos voted. In a year where we saw Quintana out hustle and out grit the "unstoppable" Paul Williams, Nate out manuver "Baby Bull" Diaz, Mora slip from Forrest and Vic KO a P4P fighter in Mijares not to mention Hopkins turning the hands of time and schooling Pavlik.
