    Tyson-Ribalta...I thought Jose was done after 3.

    JMM-Pacman I to a degree. I thought Pac had him, I knew JMM had skills but I didnt think he would come back from that so well.

    Hearns-Medal

    Still dont know how Cobb stayed up for 15 against Holmes.

    As much as I love him I was suprised Danny Williams lasted that long against Vitali.

    Katsidas-Earl. Earl looked done after 4 mins.

    Taylor-Pavlik 1- I thought Taylor had him.
    PBF- Corley-Corley was getting his ass kicked.
    Roy Jones JR-Richard Hall-RJJ gave out a beating.

    Yeah Hall-Jones. Roy carried him for a while, could have stopped it in 4.

    I'm not SSM is old, plus he doesn't have 1-punch power at 154 and Mayo weighed like 170.

    I don't think anybody expected Tony Thompson to last as long as he did against Wladimir Klitschko. There are those that don't believe in moral victories but for a guy who started his boxing career at age 28 you gotta say that he had one in Germany this past July.

    Jeff Lacy in both of his losses. That guy has a world class chin, if he had the boxing ability to go with it he'd be a monster. Taylor was rocking him last night with absolute bombs and he was eating them like nothing.

    Calzaghe vs. Jones: I thought the cut would be too much and the fight would be stopped.

    Kessler-Andrade
    Even Manny Steward though the ref would stop it in the 3-4 round.

    Some fights that I never thought would last the full 12:

    MAB - Hamed (never thought Hamed would last the distance after watching the first few rounds).

    MAB - Morales I (thought one of them would knock out the other, what with the pace they were setting).

    Roy Jones - Julio Gonzales (fair play to the Mexican; he was getting murdered but still lasted the distance).

    Pac - JMM I (down three times in the first round; be honest, we all thought this one would be over early).
