Well? Going through old predictions in my notebooks, and its very fun. Whats are the best underdog shockers you saw coming? I predicted Duran to beat Barkley. I thought Roberto was too good and had too good a chin. It was a nailbiter, though. Biggest upset I've ever called, I think, though, would have to be Holyfield over Tyson. One of the easier picks of my gambling life, suprisingly, and it paid for my vacation to the Caymans that year. What about you guys?
I put a tenner on Holyfield at 24/1 to beat Tyson. Did not think he would win, but knew he was not a 24/1 underdog. Out and out calling, I guess either Williams over Tyson or Watson over Benn.
Mosley over De La Hoya in 2000. Salido over Lopez last month. Gamboa wasn't stopping Salido and I figured Lopez wasn't going to either. The rematch should be telling.
I've picked Ward and Calzahge every time. VK to blow out Sam Peter. Williams over Margo. Winky to white wash Mosley.
Speaking of Wright, wasn't Wright-Tito a bit of an upset? I called that one. But it seems quite a few did...They sure did on here, when I was lurking.
Maybe it was to the general public, but I think it was pretty obvious to boxing fans what would happen.
I called Morales Majority Decision over Maidana. Well i didnt really call it as it never came true. But it was a close call.
Margarito vs Cotto Also Michael Katsidas was the underdog against Kevin Mitchel at 7/2, so I put quite a bit on Katsidas in that one. Also Hopkins vs Pascal II but wasnt much of an upset really.
Calzaghe over Lacy probably, I only became a "HC-fan" in 2004. Besides that, Pirog over Jacobs. And thats about it.
I called on Holyfield to beat Tyson and I don't recall it being all that hard of a call. Tyson's competition after jail was extremely poor and he wasn't getting any rounds under his belt, so it was an easy call. An even easier call was Tyson- Lewis.
Mosley over Margarito and my prediction was dead on. Almost like I saw the fight before I predicted it.
