What is the greatest upset you've ever picked

Non boxing - Duke over UNLV.

 

Morales vs Pac

Made A LOT of money that night

 

Corrie Sanders over Vlad. I knew Sanders was in the best shape of his career, had been training for months to fight Valouev in South Africa. Vlad had just beaten Jameel McCline and wanted to fight a top fighter, yet Klaus Peter Kohl picked Sanders! I posted about this crap. Vlad did not bother to spar hardly at all, and against no southpaws. He did a lot of weight lifting. I had followed Sanders' career for years, knew how good and talented he was. He can stop anyone early, thus, the name "Sniper".

I was going to bet on Mosley over Margarito because I had heard and read that Margarito did not train for that fight. Steward said as much. Got back from two days in Mojave desert too late to place my bet at Red Rock Casino/Hotel. Would have won lots of money, odds were fantastic!

I also picked Hopkins over Tito.

 

hatton vs tsyu

 

holy over tyson, byrd over tua, hopkins over trinidad, hopkins over pavlik, mosley over margachito......i cant think of any others offhand.

 

Ive picked many but one that stands out was Vince Phillips vs Kostya Tszyu. I always knew when Vince was on that he was a terrific fighter, i also felt that Tszyu was a little overrated and style wise that he wouldnt match up good with Vince. I think this was upset of the year at the time.

I didnt pick Randall over Chavez but i do remember saying that Chavez better not sleep on Randall. Lot of people had forgotten about Randall but i didnt. My prediction was if Chavez trains hard he wins if he doesnt(which were rumors at the time) he loses. Randall was brought in as a gimme but i knew he was not someone to take lightly.

More recently Hopkins- Pavlik i knew Hopkins would school him. Also called the Margo-Cotto, and Martinez-Pavlik although that wasnt a huge upset.

 

I picked both of these and I didn't consider either one a huge upset.

I also picked Bernard over Tarver and Bernard over Tito.



To balance things out, I picked Kessler over Ward and Taylor over Pav. Twice.

 

Oh yey another more recent was Dirrell and Abraham. Proof is on Rummys Challenge.

 

I picked Pontius Pilate to win by TD over our Lord Savior Jesus Christ.
Put down a lot of money on it, too, and everyone in the temple heard me make that bet. Pretty sweet payoff, I must admit - but I felt a little guilty afterwards, since I was rooting for JC.
Oh, and I also picked every major upset in boxing in modern times, winning tons of money, and I have thousands upon thousands of witnesses to confirm it.

 

That's mine as well.

Also picked Mosley to beat Margarito and had a good feeling that he would win by stoppage, but bottled a bet on the stoppage at the last minute.

 

Picked Holyfield to beat Tyson, the way he did it was a surprise though. Recently had Mosley over Marg, Ward over Kessler & picked a heap wrong in between.

 

Hopkins to beat Pavlik

don't remember many other people calling that

 

hmmmm i picked pac to steamroll through odlh.
i picked haye to knock out mormeck.
i picked froch to knock out taylor
i picked dirrel to beat aa

and i actually pick dirrell to beat ward.

 

Pacquiao DLH.
Hopkins Pavlik (decisively).
Froch Taylor if that counts.

 

I picked Williams over Tyson, Holyfield over Tyson, Hopkins over Pavlik and I picked Monte over Tua and if they scored the fight right I would of won quite a bit of money..... I also picked Hatton over pac and bet big and lost big
