    Nice list man, although some of them weren't exactly mismatches. Of course IMO for an upset, you need a mismatch not to expect someone to win. These are the fights I didn't think were mismatches (before the fight).

    Then again: nice job putting together this list!

    Katsidis was the betting favorite. Betting favorite loses and that's an upset.

    I'm going with Prescott. I mean nobody predicted him to win.
