    Cotto/Martinez for sure. This is the one Ring probably picked/will pick (I haven't checked).

    My two favorites were Medina/Love and Castellanos/Rios.

    My upset of the year, though, has to be Lee/Korobov. I had Korobov rated very high, and I though he was going to steamroll Lee. Hell, I thought Korobov had a chance to beat Golovkin :patsch.

    I picked Lee, by KO of all the Russians I like Korobov wasn't one of them. I also picked Heiland over Macklin by KO. And Algieri over Provo.:yep

    Cotto Martinez was def my pick as well.

    I don't consider Algieri/Provodnikov an upset, though. I already knew Algieri wasn't a cherry pick.

    If anyone remembers, Algieri was coming off a one-sided destruction of Emmanuel Taylor who was the favorite going into the fight. For further emphasis, Broner went life and death with Taylor while Algieri drifted right through him.

    With that said, I thought Provodnikov edged out the fight; although, it was a close fight in my opinion.

    Heliand over Macklin was pretty huge, though. ****, I didn't see that one coming either.

    Ellie Seckbach biggest upsets of 2014 must have been Bradley v Pacquiao and Algieri v Pacquiao.

    The fool was certain Pac would be KO'd by both. :rofl:rofl:rofl

    A few more forgotten ones:

    Fahlan Sakkreerin Jr. KO3 Ryo Miyazaki
    (happened on New Year's Eve, probably before midnight local time in Osaka since it was the co-feature to Ioka vs. Alvarado - but technically it may have been midnight in the single timezone further east than Japan's (before the longitudinal reset with the westernmost timezone in the Aleutian Islands of Alaska) - that of Chukotka in the furthest reaches of Siberia - meaning when Sakkreerin knocked out Miyazaki it could've been just barely 2014 somewhere in the world. :conf

    Frank Galarza KO2 John Thompson
     Low-level case but still a zero-snatching in an unbeaten prospect summit.

    Vivian Harris MD10 Jorge Paez Jr.
     Harris was supposed to be shot. Paez was on a roll.

    William Warburton PTS4 Georgie Kean
    3-0 kid was definitely not supposed to lose to 11-60-3 journeyman.

    Siarhei Khomitski TKO6 Frank Buglioni
     Another hype bubble violently burst...

    Ovill McKenzie TKO5 Tony Conquest
     Same card as Buglioni vs. Khomitsky and Warburton vs. Kean!!

    Daniel Martz RTD3 Alexis Santos
     A little flukey, but still...

    Dejan Zlaticanin SD12 Ricky Burns
    He was on the slide but nobody really thought Burns would lose this.

    Jonathan Bertonnier TKO1 Julien Marie Sainte
    Talk about unexpected, going by their records...

    Leonard Bundu SD12 Frankie Gavin
    Another case of unfamiliarity breeding ignorance with most tipping Gavin (as they did Burns over Zlaticanin) as the "known" quantity...

    Derrick Findley UD8 Lamar Russ
    Russ had just been competitive in a big step up with Macklin in his first loss. Findley had thirteen career losses and was on an 0-5-1-1 skid.

    Jaime Herrera KO6 Mike Jones
    Whaaaat?

    Micky Roman TKO9 Daniel Ponce De Leon
    Sad way for the Raramuri Warrior to go out... :verysad

    Jomar Fajardo D10 Francisco Rodriguez Jr.
    Avenged or not, black mark on Chihuas' record. (and career highlight for Wallopman)

    Faris Nenggo TKO4 Merlito Sabillo
    Same card as Rodriguez vs. Fajardo, even crazier.

    Shawn Cox TKO3 Santander Silgado
    One guy I thought was a real under-the-radar contender at CW, and the other perceived to be a ragged never-was.

    Bundu-Gavin
    Khomitsky-Buglioni
    Galarza-Thompson
    were pretty good upsets

    You should make a manner of win upset thread.:yep Rodriguez RTD1 of Findley I expected a ERod win but damn. It wasn't an upset necessarily but the manner of the win even though no one has seen it:twisted:(****ing ESPN) is shocking.

    Here's the El Biale match the everyone missed that same night.

    Was Bundu- Gavin considered a big upset? I would've thought that would've been seen as a 50-50ish fight.

    I have to say a lot of the fights some people are mentioning have no chance of winning the poll because 90% of posters won't have heard of either fighter.

    You'd probably be better off including stuff that was big on here like Brook v Porter, Cotto v Martinez, Walters v Donaire etc where the slight betting underdog won but can't really be considered a huge upset
