    Kostya vs Hatton. I backed Hatton for 200 odd knew Kostya was toast. Should never have fought In England.

    Nikita Tszyu since I've been following him on the flip side I thought he'd win every fight amd he has. But when Tim lost his fights I thought he'd win every one for sure. So very wrong.

    I knew that Teofimo Lopez was going to lose to George Kambosos I also knew that Mattias was going to lose to Liam Paro.

    Same MP. I also picked Teo to beat Loma and Tim to beat Horn and Horn to beat Pacman. Also tipped Bradley and Marquez to beat Pac Ugas too. Lol.

    Joyce vs Dubois
    Brook vs Porter
    Teo vs Loma

    They are the 3 biggest underdogs I’ve backed that I can remember, not crazy underdog on paper but I remember the odds were very one sided

    Green vs Jones Jnr was going to put 10k on him at 3.50 but too gutless.


    Garth wood vs mundine 1.

    There are so many over the decades, hard to come up with a clear example though.

    A funny one was the Kovalev vs Cleverly fight, in which almost everyone who was "in the know" figured that Clev was in for a hiding, while he was the favorite with the bookies.

    Corrie had been waiting his whole life for this chance. Biggest case of blue balls in boxing and he delivered, like I knew he would:

    Zags v Lacy (yeah, why was he an underdog, but he was and a massive one!)
    Lopez vs Kamboussos - something about George in that leadup spoke he had unsettled Lopex.

    I can even go as far back as Honeyghan vs Curry, I mind Lloyd being interview before it and he was just so confident, it was electric and my auld man (rip) put some decent ****** on the Honeyghan upset :)
