    Apparently some people don't know the meaning of the word 'tune-up'.

    Thanks for the input, but this fight in particular seems to be a shock as opposed to a tune up. It was a world title fight after all!

    Do you know what a tune up is?

    Only ones that were tuneups were Prescott/Kahn.

    Even Maidana was considered a riskytest even though Ortiz was expected to win. Forrest-Mosley is laughable as Forrest was highly regarded and long overdue for a title shot, although Mosley was the favorite and PFP best at the time, Forrest was the most avoided man in boxing at the time. Winky was highly regarded far from a tuneup.
    Maybe ill give you Spinks-Ali.

    And i was telling everyone that Margo was gonna beat Cotto, that was a highly anticipated fight. Far from a tuneup.

    Most of the fights posted here were not 'tune-up' fights as quite a lot were title fights. They would be classed more as upsets
