    Baldomir-Judah, I think that's correct

    Don't know what the odds were, but Marquez losing to John was a hell of a shock to me (even if it was in John's backyard)

    here's a few more that personally shocked me:

    Mijares - Arce
    Donaire - Darchinian
    Campbell - Diaz
    Penalosa - Gonzales

    The biggest upsets (odds wise) have already been mentioned (Tarver-Jones, Baldomir-Judah)

    I agree with Frost. Wlad-Sanders.

    Penalosa vs Gonzales was certainly an upset. Even more so when Gonzales looked to be dominating the fight until he was stopped with a body shot. Well done Penlosa.

    I'm not 100% sure, but i remember Wlad being a 10:1 favorite over Brewster the first time. I actually can't imagine but odds being that far in his favor, especially since he lost to Sanders just one year before, but if those were the odds, then i think it might be an even bigger upset than Baldomir-Judah.

    The odds are not always the best indicator of the degree of the upset.

    I predicted that Bernard would beat both Tito and Tarve.

    In the first case, I frankly couldn't understand why BHop wasn't the favourite.

    In the second case, I knew I was picking a live underdog.
