    March:
    Takalani Ndlovu beats SBW champ Steve Molitor
    Ponce De Leon arguably beats unbeated Adrien Broner (robbed)

    April:
    Dyah Davis beats undefeated Marcus Johnson
    Hernan Marquez stops FlyW champ Luis Concepcion
    Marco Antonio Rubio stops unbeaten David Lemieux

    You're right about that. I think they're fighting in LA in Mares backyard.

    In my opinion Dyah Davis beating Marcus Johnson was more surprising than any of the "big four" upsets. I still had questions about Johnson, but I did not expect him to lose to a guy who lost a convincing decision to Pryor jr.

    David Lemiuex was an example of how quickly we fall in love with KO artists. Rubio is a helluva a lot better than people generally give him credit for. Lemiuex simply did not have the ring savvy to deal with Rubio's ability to stick to a winning fight Plan. Old Mustache Man just took David out into deep water and drown him.

    In Berto's case I think a lot of us understood that Andre was not the real deal, and that he would lose as soon as Team Berto stopped cherry picking his opponents.
