    In the last year, Miranda-Green, easily!

    Biggest disappointment of all time (that I've watched) was Tyson-McNeely. I guess it should have been expected, but damn...

    DLH-PBF.

    I didn't expect an exciting fight in terms of a slug-fest, but I did expect to see two fighters who really had something to prove. Especially Mayweather, who'd just came off a boring-ass showing against Baldomir, I thought for sure he'd want to show that he was willing to take a big opportunity in his hands.

    What's worse is.. some people call that a " masterful " display of boxing. :roll:

    My expectations for Hatton-Castillo weren't too high, so it didn't fall short of my expectations. Pacquiao-Morales II was an excellent fight. Morales doing well for 5 rounds, then catching a beating in round 6, and Pacquiao slowly beating him down until he finishes him in 10.

    I taught that Castillo knew this was going to be his last Hurrah at this level of competition so I expected for him to be smoking...but instead he got smoked....regarding Pacquiao v. Morales II, disagree, Pacquiao dominated this fight from the get go, I expected far more from El Terrible..instead he look terrible

    Castillo Corrales II.

    Too lazy to make a whole list, but it would probably be all rematches like that.
