The biggest shoker this fall ...

Well, my vote is on Joe on points in the vote thread but I feel more and more that Roy will put up a great fight. How great? Can he pull it off? I don't know...

 

True. Prior to the fight there was discussion that Hopkins could seriously get injured against Pavlik. Even a respected trainer like Freddie Roach had the opinion that Hopkins was on his way to being punch drunk and that fighting Pavlik risked his long term health.

 

Oh yeah, completely forgot about that! atsch

 

I don't know about that. It was a shocker the manner in which Bernard beat Pavlik, but he was only about a 4-1 betting underdog, much less than, say, Quintana-Williams I, Prescott-Khan, Phillips-Spinks, Campbell-Diaz, Mora-Forrest I, Lee-Vera, or even Funeka-Raheem.

 

I think Quintana over Williams was the upset of they year because Quintana is not a big Welter and was blitzed by Cotto with one body punch. I was picking Hops over Kelly because Pavlik was far too overrated and had never had fought at 170, although I never expected it to be so one-sided. JMM over Casa was shocking only because it ended in a KO.

 

Cotto Margarito really wasnt that much of a shocker. Hopkins was juat cause of the fact how badly he beat pavlik. What about amir kahn getting knocked out in 49 seconds. The guy was 20 to 1 on my sportsbook
