Pongsaklek Wonjongkam vs Sonny Boy Jaro
Ismayl Sillakh vs Denis Grachev
Lucian Bute vs Carl Froch
Mike jones vs Randall Bailey
Manny Pacquiao vs Timothy Bradley
Victor Ortiz vs Josesito Lopez
Amir Khan vs Danny Garcia
I've gone for Sillakh vs Grachev on the basis nobody gave him a chance, most hadn't heard of him and many thought Sillakh was the next big thing. He was also a massive 12/1+ underdog
but jaro is actually a bum of a fighter. He is also old as fck but some how managed to ko pong after he had beat a good fighter in sosa. All the other fighters who won where at least decent fighters or champs
Yes...good point. I did pick Jaro out of the list. Besides, even though many of us saw Abril winning, that fight doesnt fall under this category. It fits the robbery of the year. I just wanted to point it out so some wont forget about it that he was a replacement fighter. Similar to Lopez.
Yes I know what he brings to the table but did we expect Abril to do it? I sure as hell didnt so I consider it an upset despite what the judges say. Im sure Rios was the big favorite going into the fight too.

How about Paulie winning a title by KO.....could that be considered an upset victory?
It was an upset in my book, considering that he fought in his opponent's home country and everybody thought he would get robbed and didn't have the power to get a stoppage.
Rios is limited skilled he's bound to get out boxed again.
it's not comparable to Sonny Boy Jaro or Lopez breaking Ortiz's jaw

Manny losing was big, Mike Jones vs Randall Bailey not on the list
My bad, I was so excited about the Garcia win that this fight completely slipped my mind. Damn there's been a lot of upsets and we're only half way through the year. :lol1:
Can a mod add Mike Jones vs Randall Bailey to the poll? Thx
The biggest upset of the year was Abril over Rios. I dont care what anybody says what the outcome the judges said they saw. Abril was a replacement for Gamboa.
but if I have to pick one, I'll pick Jaro.

yeah but bradley really didn't win that fight i'm not sure where to rank it. jones/bailey is a good one. the threat of a bailey KO was there, just no one thought it would happen that late into the fight. i would have to say jaro/wonjongkam was upset of the year.
