    I would call that an unlucky break; fair dues Backus took advantage and got a couple of good pay days off the back of it, but the manner of the victory is such, it cannot go down as a huge shock without a big *.

    Thanks for your input....guess I just don't understand what an
    upset is.

    I thought it was when you walk into the ring a big underdog talentwise, and then you walk out of the ring with a victory and the welterweight crown on your head.
