How could I forget Kirkland Laing beating Duran?atsch John H Stracey beating the great Jose Napoles. And the sadly departed Corrie Sanders destroying Wlad.
Not truly an upset really, but at the time, Greg Page being beaten by Trevor Berbick was seen as a major upset, mentioned in the honorable part of KO Magazine for their upset sections.
Was Barrera beating Hamed that big really ? What were the odds? I knew he'd beat him Barrera had been shown a few times on tv over here and i remember thinking he looked a beast. I wasnt surprised at all.
Spinks/HolmesI was very close. I can understand if you thought Holmes won, but just as many had Spinks winning, thus it was not a robbery. Now fight two...
Really? I, like many others, called that at the time. But yes the casual fan was surprised. Perhaps if you are going for modern fights, Williams/Tyson could be there? Of course, I called that too!:yep
It could have been if it wasn't 'fixed' The 17 1/2 year-old 'Wunderkind' Wilfred Benitez over Antonio 'Kid Pambele' Cervantes. 'Kid Pambele' was a 4-1 Betting Favorite, and the Champion 'dumped the fight', with the help of the WBA Officials.
You were robbed, my tenner got 24/1 (not that I thought he would win, it was just the odds were stupid, it should of been no worse than 4/1 in my opinion).
David Haye vs. Carl Thompson is the biggest upset I've seen between a novice and an established boxer. While Haye was much, MUCH less proven than the Cat, people (including myself) were still very surprised by the outcome.
