I was expecting a good, competitive fight, as I'm sure most were, but what we got was a boxing masterpiece from Rigondeaux. It wasn't a massive upset, true, but it was easily the most beautiful boxing display I saw in 2013.
Rigo v Donaire Garcia v Matthysse Maidana v Broner All the winners were either underdogs or won in dominating fashion.
inl honesty, mosley is a different man mentally not just physically. he'd never give up just because his back hurt, not previous to retiring. mundine is no spring chicken either of course, but its was a patsy fight and probably staged to a degree.
picked Adonis by mistake didn't see rigo. adonis is my 2nd then. maidana 3rd, mainly because broner wasn't tested much at that level.
Mchunu's virtual shutout of Chambers deserves a mention here. Many fealt (myself included) that Eddie would be a real force at Cruiserweight. Turned out to be not the most exciting fight, but impressive and unexpected clinic by Mchunu nonetheless.
garcia over matthyse was in second for me, i stupidly give danny little chance in that fight, bought too much into lucas power and underestimated the mental fortitude of danny. rigos wasvery impressive, i had a feeling he would pull that one off
