    Jones/Tarver and upset? and Pac/Barrera?.....hmmm but i guess it personal opinion since i consider Pavlik/Miranda , Holyfield/Oquendo upsets, and just fight to throw out there Mayorga/Forrest, Quintana/Williams

    yea,jones was expected to beat tarver most people including me saw the first rjj/tarver fight as just an off night for roy&expected him to clear up any dispute.in barrera/pac1,barrera was a big favourite pac was still a relatively unknown quantity up to that point so to beat barrera the way he did was a massive surprise therefore an upset.but your right its all just personal opinion.

    Jones/Tarver 2 was the most shocking fight that I ever watched.

    I picked no's 1, 8 & 10 in advance.

    Lewis didn't train and, decisively, failed to take into account the altitude.
    Tszyu was rusty and possibly shot, Hatton's then style was made for knocking over old men.
    Sanders I just liked. :)

    Jones-Tarver easily, that hurt me seriously. I didn't think Quintana-Williams was that big an upset, Quintana has great skill and Williams-Margarito fight was quite close.
