    Good one. Forgot about that. Ward has been so good since, it's hard to remember he was the underdog here.

    I think Sergio was actually the favorite on some websites. . Odds were very close, either way. . .

    And I wouldn't say he completely dismantled Pavlik; until Pavlik couldn't see out of one eye from like the 9th, or 10th, he was up on the cards. Even knocked him down.

    Calzaghe/Lacy was about as complete of a one-sided beat down, smack down as you cna have without a KO. . . ANd I think Lacy was like 3 to 1, maybe 4 to 1 favorite.

    Lol Bramble/Macini was a PERFECT example of exactly the opposite of this - a two-way action fight in which Bramble slightly got the better.

    both fighters got beat the hell up.

    Hopkins - Tarver?

    Was Hop the under? If so, I think this would be as good as the Pav ****.

    Vitali vs Peter. Lots of people thought Vitali would get injured in the ring walk and would be too rusty to handle Peter. :lol:
