You beat me to it on that one, every fight except the first Castillo fight (which he lost).

 

Maidana I?

 

Haye v Vlad.one of the worst fights I have ever seen .total crap.

 

Have you watched that fight more than once?

I have not,

 

yeah I was curious to see how far back we'd have to go haha

 

Well I don't usually watch fights more than once unless I'm analyzing or scoring.

 

It was hyped. That fight was huge.

 

It really wasn't. I mean there was a bit of hype because of Fury but he was a massive underdog and I don't think many people expected a good fight.

and to try n name sum that others have not how bout wlad vs povetkin
and wlad vs sultan ibragimov

 

Pac vs DLH was very similar to Canelo vs Chavez Jr. You can't really knock one but praise the other.

 

ODLH was the pre-fight favourite, I was expecting him to turn it around eventually for a lot of the fight.

For me and others it is more interesting when the underdog is winning.

Canelo, by contrast, was a huge favourite and from round 3 of Canelo-Chavez I knew Canelo was winning without a doubt.

 

Regardless of who the favorite was, the pattern of the fights was pretty similar. The "smaller" guy totally dominating his opponent, who may or may not have been drained.

It was also around round 3, if I remember correctly, that It became quite obvious DLH was not going to be able to offer much.

You might be on to something though in regards to how the role of the underdog changes the perception of the fight.
