Let's see...they were all exposed in one form or another.
Duke got bounced out of the NCAAs...all season I thought they were doing shit with smoke and mirrors.I was happy to see their asses kicked out.
I hate Duke!!!!
Katsidis...a funny thing happened to him on the way to the championship.
But,even still...his stock went up.
But Andy Lee....total fraud,another line of work for may be in order.
Yes, Andy Lee is going to have the "exposed" label attatched to him now. Yes, he lost in a much more embarassing manner. But when Katsidis was almost one of the biggest winners of the year...I'm saying his loss stings the most. Andy Lee is a prospect who now looks worse.
Katsidis is an almost champion. He's a what-could-have-been. A chance lost. A dream stolen; he was so close. I mean, if HBO lets him toil in obscurity this loss could kill his mental game and thereby career. We'll have to see.
Very good point...I do think Katsidis will have his day assuming he doesn't snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory again!!!!
I agree Andy Lee has suffered a terrible set-back. He was against a guy he should have beaten easily, knocked out, and had his rising star tarnished. Not to mention it was on an ESPN2 level- he hadn't even made it to HBO.
That's why I'm going to give the 'Biggest loser' award to Katsidis,though. Sure, he showed more skills and gained more fans than Lee; but he was so close. I'm going to take into account that he had the momentum, had his man...almost won- almost became champion- and then got knocked out.

Andy Lee was this weekend's biggest loser, he was badly exposed.
And that clown said he was ready for Pavlik......:lol1:
Pavlik would KO Lee in 1 round.
Damn...I got to add my Hoyas to this question.
Actually it remains Andy...who can come back from this,it's only a loss.
But....I think not,he looked exposed to me.
Andy Lee.
Katsidis showed he could compete at that level. He was really beating Katsidis up at times. He just got careless and got caught.
Lee on the other hand, was beaten up and stopped.
And i Haaaaaaate Duke as well, glad to see them get tossed
I hate to say it but Andy Lee. Mainly because of the hype Manny Steward was giving him. It's just one loss though and he'll be back. Yes Vera isn't the greatest, but that doesn't mean Andy can't learn from it and come back better.
I'd say Andy Lee as well but he should treat this as a learning experience. Too much is made of losses in boxing, which has prevented top guys from fighting each other when they are in their prime. As far as Lee in concerned he should get back in the gym, work hard, and use friday as a valuable experience.
Duke, because the other two still got paid for their losses.
Hmmm...interesting,but....what is the cost of a Duke education?
Probably 25-35 thousand a year...so,times 4,well over six figures for those Dukettes.
How much did Andy Lee get paid?...I'm thinking not too much.
What does an ESPN headliner make???...10 grand,20???
For that matter,what did Casamayor make as an HBO headliner?100,000???more?...less?...I don't believe it to be a million.
Andy Lee.
But another line of work, don't be dick.
It's fans that think like that, that mean we have to endure prospects beating up complete scrubs for years.
A defeat doesn't mean that much early on.
