    I ****ing love them, that's what I love about this sport, the underdog comes in hungry and destroys his opposition.

    Upsets are the only reason I still watch this sport Avidly and Religiously.

    What say you?

    Mosley over Margarito is clearly my favorite in the last few years. Salido over JuanMa was also sweet.

    Of course, Lopez over Ortiz takes the cake so far this year.

    I love upsets and boxing features more of them than any other sport it seems.

    I think everyone likes an upset in any sport. Unless it's happens to their guy/team.

    In boxing there not as common as people think they are. The idea that anything can happen at any time is well, B.S.

    When the better guy comes into a fight prepared, focused, with the right game plan, fallows that game plan and makes the needed adjustments. He is going to win.
