and tyson was untouchable before that fight with douglas right? judah has been exposed before this fight but tyson was undefeated before douglas, its an upset but not to that extent
Agree...Judah has shown weaknesses before...not totally unexpected that he would lose to a lesser fighter, just so happened that lesser fighter was Baldomar.
i dont think this was much of an upset. People were sayin that carlos was a nobody and look at the people he fought. But what i saw was a hyped up fighter by the name of Zab Judah who's only big win was a TKO of Cory Spinks thus evening the two. One to One. When he fought K.T. we all know what happened. Then he fought Cory spinks as his next big fight and once again he lost. This guy has never been that impressive. His mouth is his biggest punch. I feel that many people just WANTED him to be that good so that he could fight PBFM. Personally i wanted to see that fight just so Floyd could teach him a lesson and KO him out the ring. But honestly, im glad its not going to. This way Zab looks like the Bum that he is and he doesnt have the ability to say only really good fighters beat him.
The biggest odds upset in recent memory was McBride at +2000 beating Tyson. Corrie Sanders was +1800 and beat Klitschko a few years ago.
In terms of Baldomir was about +1000 in this fight. This was a great upset.
Actually, Vegas didn't even put out lines on this fight because Baldy was such an underdog. They weren't accepting bets, how's that for someone who didn't have a snowball's chance in hell. At least Douglas/Tyson and Sanders/Klit had odds in Vegas.
********boxing, however, had Judah as a -2500 fav and Baldy as a =700 underdog.

What do you people think?
Is Baldomir's win over Judah the biggest upset in boxing history since Douglas' win over Tyson?
no, rahman lewis was a much bigger upset than judah baldomir.
"On the whole I think the welterweight division looks great right now. It’s full of contenders and elite fighters. My guess is that Mayweather will win the WBC welterweight title from Baldomir on April 8th or another date. Hatton v Gatti looks set to happen in May at 147lps as Hatton is looking to get his name known to the US audience and who better to choose than a people’s champion like Gatti." - from an article from some place on the "East" cost of the internet boxing world... ;)
So is Hatton-Gatti all but set assuming Gatti gets past his next fight?
This is still a great fight. While it may be more on the lines of Tito/Mayorga, it was still an entertaining fight.

I think it absolutely is. Judah was on the edge of the p4p list and Baldomir was a guy nobody had EVER heard of. Tyson was at least asked about defending against Buster Douglas a couple fights before he fought him, so you know Douglas was a contender on the rise. Baldomir had never done ANYTHING and he flat out has NOTHING. Judah losing to him is the most pathetic thing I think I've ever seen in this sport.
