what was the biggest upset you called?

You were the only one to get that one right ....you must be a real Einstein !!

 

same here.

 

i have the same pick as pokerbox.

i attended honeyghan v sylvester mittee and then saw honeyghan brutally destroying horace shufford an american in a final eliminator and curry`s fights were all shown on uk tv with the exception of the south korean he beat and thought honeyghan would beat him.

on a way lesser note i also thought lewis would beat ruddock, which at the time ruddock was the favourite to come out on top of the 4.

 

I had Lewis over Ruddock, but I don't think that's a huge call - wasn't he only a slight underdog?

 

memory is playing tricks and i cannot remember the odds.

i remmebr it was a halloween night, i think ruddock was 2 or 3 to 1 favourite.

so nothing mind shattering.

 

at the risk of jumping on the bandwagon, picking that fight was my claim to fame. I told all and sundry that honeyghan would flatten curry. my dad and brother were so unconvinced they never bothered watching the fight. honeyghan's win made me look like a proper smart arse.

the thing is, i never believed it for a second..

 

Curry was never knocked down in that fight.......

 

i never saw honeyghan v curry live.

i think it was shown the next day on grandstand or world of sport, but it had a surreal feel to it.

there you had the number 1 fighter in the world being mullered from the first round in front of a scant few people who did not have a clue what was occuring.

sad that honeyghans greatest acheivement was not fought in front of a large boxing crowd.

 

Joe Calzaghe over Jeff Lacy

Bernard Hopkins over Felix Trinidad

Rocky Balboa over Ivan Drago

 

sorry heerko but by flatten i meant beat him severely rather than put him on the canvas. i'll pick my words more carefully next time.
after seeing curry beat colin jones i was fearful for honeyghan if the truth be told. i was a loud mouth kid shouting his mouth off who got real lucky. everyone still thinks i knew honeyghan would win so we'll keep this between us

 

I called Raheem over Morales that was probablly the biggest one but I have called some other upsets.

 

Quintana vs Julio

 

Johnson-RJJ - won me the betingcompetision on the aussie-board at the time.

Calzaghe-Lacy - if you call that an upset - I even had it 120-108

 

:good

 

Hopkins over Tito.
