Since We Have to Deal With Mismatches, Which Underdog Excites You The Most?

PBP10y ago

Excluding Amir Khan because there are 200 threads on that fight already. :boxing: Hank Lundy Battle tested veteran going up against Terence Crawford. Kiko Martinez After losing the 2 biggest fights of his career, will look to rebound against Leo Santa Cruz. Tony Thompson Has a recent history of scoring upset victories. Can he end the Luis Ortiz hype train? Sullivan Barrera Cuban amateur standout will try to ruin Andre Ward's comeback plans. Kevin Bizier Will try to capitalize on his mandatory title shot against Kell Brook. Dominic Wade Can this underachieving prospect fulfill his potential on the biggest stage of his career?

I voted others, namely Khan. Khan getting knocked out in the early rounds once again excites me. Lundy is a 25 to 1 underdog so he is the biggest underdog of them all and he has no chance to win. I think Barerra has the best chance to score an upset win and I would love that. Thompson is too old and slow to have a prayer of winning. Bizier is a good fighter and better than many think. Brook is also better than many think so he will almost certainly win.

He's not in the list, but it would have been Diego Chaves had Brook went ahead with the fight.

Good for boxing or good for Amir Khan? :lol1: I hope you're not insinuating Khan is ducking Brook to jump 2 weights against a fighter whose depth of resume is on another level to Kells'? It is bad for Khan cuz most likely he'll lose to Alvarez, so he won't just be able to walk in another mega bout right off the bat.

He is an underdog on NSB maybe but he might not be the underdog on the betting lines. Should be close. Anyone gonna pick Khan over the guys on this list :lol1:? Thats a good point.

I was just picking Wilder as an underdog most likely to win. I wasn't saying it was a mismatch. He is an underdog on NSB maybe but he might not be the underdog on the betting lines. Should be close. Anyone gonna pick Khan over the guys on this list :lol1:?

Arroyo is overmatched but not a bad fighter. Barrera is in an even bigger disparity in skill but at least has the size advantage. Most others have no shot at all.

Barrera, Arroyo, and Lundy are legit live dogs imo. I don't think either will win tho. But they can make a fight tough for anyone in their weight classes.

Barrera because Ward losing to a rookie like him would be epic Rookie? The guy is like 34 years old and has been boxing forever, had almost 300 amateur fights. He's no novice

I expect great efforts from Barrera and arroyo. Those are two of the best fights we have so far.

I don't think Barrera is the mismatch everyone is claiming. Is Ward the favorite? Yes, but Barrera is an undefeated fighter with knockout power and in the fights I've seen he hasn't struggled much. That's much more of a competitive fight than a mismatch.

Kiko Martinez for me because Quigg got lucky against him with a big punch 9 times out of 10 he wouldn't find, Kiko was soundly beat Quigg til that 1 punch landed. Leo Santa Cruz has no pop I fancy Kiko chances of causing an upset.
