biggest upset youve ever called...

I called:

Forrest vs. Mosely 1
Paquiao vs. Barrera 1
Pavlik vs. Taylor 1
Morales vs. Paquiao 1

I dont know which one was the biggest.

 

Well it really wasn't an upset for those who followed boxing and can analyze matchups but Hopkins-Tito comes to mind. Really easy fight to pick but was a huge upset for some in its day, since Tito was a big favorite. Also Winky-Tito to a lesser exent.

 

Holyfield over Tyson. Everyone thought I was crazy and my cousin who is a Tyson fan said "Holyfield would have a heart attack" (probably because of his recent heart problems)

 

Ali over Foreman. My kids thought I was nuts when I said Ali would KO him....but who's laughing now :yep

 

The few I predicted

Quintana-Williams
Brewster-Golota
Baldomir-Gatti
Hernandez-Litzau
Valuev-Chagaev
I may've predicted Pavlik over Miranda, I can't remember.

 

Pavlik beating Taylor wasn't really an upset. A lot of people in boxing forums thought Pavlik would beat JT.

 

I called Quintana over Williams...

 

1). Tito - Hopkins
Man, the fights STILL gives me the creeps.......I had about 15 people over, 14 of them didn't follow the sport inside out, so they thought Tito was going to destroy him.....The only part I got wrong was the manner in which he won...I never expected Bernard to be flawless from a "technical" standpoint. I thought he would foul and maul him...Still one of the best performances in history..

2). Holyfield - Tyson

3). Pavlik - Taylor
After watching Pavlik indent Miranda's face and Jermain's performance against Cory Spinks:dead and more importantly Jermain's reaction and post fights comments, I could tell he wanted NO part of Pavlik

 

this wasn't that big an upset. i got 3 - 1 odds on alcine

 

Wouldnt say I called it but I had a bit of money on Honeyghan vs Curry based on the strong rumours that Curry couldnt make weight.

 

got good odds on this fight. couldn't belive the odds. really cleaned up

 

Yeah it was I am sure that JT was still the betting favorite.

 

Recently, I picked Vasquez over Marquez in the 2nd fight.

Im sure i was the only one on this board to do so.

 

I won a lot of money on the following upsets:

Rahman V Lewis
Forrest over Mosley (bet on mosley in the rematch
Wright over Mosley
Wright over Tito
tayllor v hopkins
hatton v tszyu
Hopkins over Tarver
Hopkins V Tito
MAB V Naz
Morales v PAC

I know that people arent going to believe me on the lewis rahman fight. When I was 17 and had more money than sense, I put a £30 bet on 3 months before the fights. something come over me that said rahman was going to win. i regretted placing the bet until hasim flattened him.

 

Mosley over DLH
Wright over Mosley
Quintana over Williams

I predicted that Torres would have a chance at knocking out Cotto early. I would have been a genius had Cotto not been so resilient.
