    Walters was the betting favourite, IIRC it was VERY close with the bookies though

    This would be another moderately similar to Algieri vs. Provodnikov. (except that Sukhotsky isn't completely unknown - except to North Americans)

    Not that big an upset in truth if you aren't heading in with the assumption that Sukhotsky is "dog meat" or "just some guy" just because he never appeared on HBO or Showtime before. (his one appearance in the US was on the obscure WealthTV)

    Everybody knew Maidana was going to beat his aze
    I don't consider that an upset I view that as a lesson in the sweet sport of boxing for a loud mouth to STFU:lol::rofl:deal

    Which is entirely irrelevant. Betting odds weren't that huge on Broner. Not to justify an upset of the year in my opinion.

    Brook vs porter in terms of bandwagoners who thought brook would get KOd in 1 round.
