    Lee losing to Vera was a big upset especially after the way Steward had hyped him up

    Quintana Vs Williams 1 was a huge one for me
    Diaz Vs Campbell was another

    How is it that people forget this one??!! :huh

    I saw the Kirk Thread with the predictions...and like only a handful (prolly enough to count with ONE hand) of people said Quintana...EVERYONE said Williams...and a quarter of those people said by KO.

    I think this was the most DOWNPLAYED upset of the year.

    It's downplayed because Williams KO'd him in the first round in the rematch, probably.

    We have a late entry with Saleka or whatever his name was, getting stopped in two earlier today. Respected champion knocked out in a shocking defeat.

    Witter losing to an untested Bradley was very surprising.

    Campbell over Diaz for me. But Prescott over Khan and Quintana over Williams can have a strong argument as well. And what about Darchinyan-Mijares or Vera over Lee?
