    Not sure about that.... think he had it coming.

    Once his legs started to leave him it was always going to be a struggle.

    Got to be Litzau or Lee. I'd go with Litzau as i had seen him and was expecting him to get raped. Never seen Lee so was expecting him to get murdered as well.

    I dont mean to sound like a dickhead(which I probably do. Sorry), but there is no way in my mind that that is upset of the year. I dont mind that Romero-Bass isnt up there, but I cant understand how Burns-Martinez is a bigger upset than say Caballero-Litzau or Holt-Mabuza.

    I've noticed that not many of those 20-odd posters who voted for Burns have come on to explain their choice. Strange?!?:think

    Not even that, most of them haven't even said that they voted for Burns, never mind explain it. It's kind of like when people say it's fight of the year. No way. Good fight, big upset.

    Fight of the year? No.

    Upset of the year? No.

    It only beats Montiel-Hasegawa and Segura-Calderon IMO.

    Remember folks, Poonsawat was a P4P contender, I think the Ring had him in their top 10. Lee was a nobody, and he came out of nowhere to beat Poonsawat. Caballero had moved up in weight to fight Litzau, and had a horrendous style as well as being absurdly overrated, that makes the Litzau loss not that big of a surprise. Omar Nino was in all honesty, a relatively weak champion, it was again, a bit of surprise that he lost to Keb Baas, but not massive.

    It's gotta be Lee - Poon.

    Montiel was a small upset, but he's fighter of the year for me, along with Sergio Martinez. I think Martinez over Pavlik was an upset.
