Biggest upsets in 2017 boxing.

Not a subjective thread, not asking. This is the list of biggest upsets, per the bookmaker odds.

Crazy that Horn over Pac is all the way down at #25.

Also that Wangek remained a +375 underdog even in the rematch with González.

 

FYI: while it currently is too late for this list to be topped by any of 2017's remaining bouts, Nguyen vs. Flores still could see its #2 spot usurped this weekend. Punts on Yoan Boyeaux are set to pay $22 on the dollar in the unlikely event he upsets Naoya Inoue on Saturday.

 

The first smattering of potential "big upsets" slated for the first quarter of the new year are, in descending value order (and restricted to fights that are currently signed/official):

1) Lamont Peterson (bookmakers put him at 23/2 vs. Errol Spence, Jr.)
2) Sergey Rabchenko (10/1 vs. Kell Brook) **
3) Joseph Parker (9/1 vs. Anthony Joshua)
4) Mairis Briedis (11/2 vs. Oleksandr Usyk)
5) Nonito Donaire (5/1 vs. Carl Frampton) ++


** if the rumored near-finalized April opponent that Bob Arum has set up for Jeff Horn does indeed wind up being Terence Crawford, as expected all along, and not a ringer like Anthony Mundine or some other random names that have been floated, then Horn will open a 10/1 underdog against Crawford.

++ Jürgen Brähmer would also be tied for this spot, as he is set to be a 5/1 underdog against Callum Smith when the ink dries on their WSBB semifinal meeting (and that is a when, not an if, barring injury on either side)
