Holyfield was also a huge underdog against Tyson. In Australia, the odds for him winning by stoppage were 14 to 1 and a head to head 7 to one. I know because I bet on Holyfield.
Kambosos vs Teofimo Lopez probably. Just the knockdown in the first round would have been enough, but to actually go on to win the fight was icing on the cake. Since then, I've softened on Lopez, but it was amazing at the time.
I was young at the time but had been on and on how Holyfield was gonna win while getting laughed at by everybody that I told this too. I told my Dad that I would bet on Holyfield. I planned on taking Holyfield by stoppage but I couldn't get to a TAB at the time. My Dad realising this put the money on for me but he put it on the head to head odds of 7/1. The weekend of the fight. We had **** all money back then so it was a small bet but he was rapt after the fight . I was pumped for calling it.
