Gomez and Urkal?

Nonsense. Every year is full of upsets. I already shut down this claim of 2008 being the year of the upset by bringing up 2001, when a lot of BIG fights ended in upsets. Undefeated p4p fighters, or heavyweight champions losing to 20-1 underdogs. Not fights when a prospect loses to an undefeated prospect. People bring up Cotto-Margarito. Wow. Cotto was a 2-1 favorite. That rarely happens. :rofl: Let's look at 2006: Zab Judah loses the welterweight title to Carlos Baldomir. Baldomir was such a big underdog that some casinos didn't even carry the fight. Bernard Hopkins, 3-1 underdog and coming off two straight losses, dominates Antonio Tarver for the light-heavyweight title. Sergie Liakhovich beats Lamon Brewster, a -365 favorite, for the WBO HW belt. Chris John upsets p4p fighter Juan Manuel Marquez. Don't know the betting odds. Joel Casamayor, a 2-1 underdog, beats Diego Corrales for the lightweight title. Oleg Maskaev, a 3-1 underdog, knocks out Hasim Rahman again for the WBC HW title. O'Neil Bell, a 3 1/2 to 1 underdog, knocks out Jean Mormeck for the cruiserweight title. Or let's look at 2004: Erik Morales loses to Marco Antonio Barrera, who some consider shot after the Pacquiao massacre, and a 2-1 underdog. This was for supremacy at 130 and two belts. Antonio Tarver, 4-1 underdog, knocks out light heavyweight and p4p champ Roy Jones. Glen Johnson, 6-1 underdog, knocks out Roy Jones. Danny Williams, 9-1 underdog, stops Mike Tyson. Winky Wright (I have no idea why he was the underdog, but he was officially the underdog) beating Shane Mosley for the junior middleweight title. Almost all of these were BIG fights which ended in upsets. Fights when champions, p4p fighters, were defeated by underdogs. This is nothing new, but people get their dicks hard and think something exceptional is happening at the moment, when usually, it is not unique. 2:1 and 3:1 favorites losing are not big upsets...You can erase 75% that list.

i'm no doctor, but the more you think about it, the more it seems like it would be very difficult to contract anything from a cut in boxing. both guys have to have a laceration, and blood (how much blood, i don't know) from the guy who is contaminated has to literally go into the the other guy's wound. in the amateurs we don't get tested for anything. i know i signed a waiver that said i hadn't had any head or hand injuries, and... well... i don't really know what i signed, but i get fights and have never had a blood test or anything of the sort. It's only a theoretical risk. Realistically it's not something that would happen. HIV becomes unable to infect very quickly without a host. I wouldn't feel comfortable having someone purposely dripping their HIV+ blood on a wound, but I wouldn't even be slightly concerned in a boxing match.

Its all over youtube,a huge KO,its such a sick KO some people would find it hard to watch Laughing.... Some people...

Herrera v Williams. Williams was a 10:1 favorite. The biggest of the last 12 months was Ouma v Roman.... Ouma v Bundrage...and Spinks not too far back also.

U must be crazy,Greene is a exciting fighter and has got some SICK skills,u just happened to catch him against a fighter who is plain and simple,DIRTY,Torres is Hopkins JR,he fouled all night Joe Greene is no bum Dude..he landed 3 solid punches the entire fight against a wild unskilled brawler... Was afraid to even throw a punch until the 4th when Torres started the action...Had nothing to do with Torres being dirty.

Forrest is slowly becoming the betting favorite, but the odds are about as close to even as they could get. Mora is at -105 and Forrest at -115.

Julio destroyed Varela. He KOd a guy Edison Miranda couldnt KO at 160. And hes coming from 147. He did a horrible job judging the distance though, i think he just had no respect for Varela's power. His defense looked much better in the Ishe Smith fight. But now i think Julio is suppose to fight Sergio Martinez for an interim title. Martinez is a VERY solid fighter. He slick, quick, and his punched are pretty sharp. Ths fight would be for an interim title and the winner gets the winner of Mora-Forrest II. I thnk Julio might have a lot of trouble with Martinez. Martinez is a slick fighter and i think Julio will have an extremely hard time landing that right hand he loves so much. Julio cant go in thinking KO, he needs to fight a little more like he did in the Smith fight. Then again, when i seen Martinez' ast fight he seemed very vulnerable to right hands, but those were quick weak right hands no that clubbing poweful type Julio throws. Certainly ready to KO Greene.

Just lost $250. Fuckers...

Teddy is overbearing and Nate is a cool guy, but to be honest I wasn't that impressed with his work. Yea, he's not the most technical of speakers. I like his style though. Just seems like a really friendly dude.

What a joke. Greene fighting at 160 and Torres coming up from 147. Sad that he was afraid to even throw a punch in the first 3 rounds, and now can't get this guy out of here. Prospect my ass.

Tyson would lose badly. Holyfield has at least been somewhat active and is in shape. Have you seen the gut on Tyson? No way he would be able to lose that anytime soon.

Reminds me of an amateur toughman contest...

All you fuckers who think this is a gross mismatch and a joke. This dude is laying at least a million. My money would be on Pac also. Sorry so many people DON'T want to see this fight.

Joe is fighting at 154,he used to fight at middleweight,but hes too short,and finds making 154 easier Miscommunication... He's BEEN fighting at 160 and Torres coming up from 147.

This is dan rafaels new list. 1. Manny Pacquiao 2. Joe Calzaghe 3. Juan Manuel Marquez 4. Bernard Hopkins 5. Kelly Pavlik 6. Antonio Margarito 7. Israel Vazquez 8. Miguel Cotto 9. Rafael Marquez 10. Christian Mijares....what you guys think? i woudnt put bernard hopkins ahead of margarito This is a solid list. I don't think I'd change much if anything. Though it's kind of sad someone who could be collecting social security in a few more years is #4.

I agree...I don't think it's gonna happen... Looks like Campbell and Atlas are tied. They're gonna have to fight for it I guess.

Its obvious you dont have enough of something. I dont see you betting millions with anyone else on this fight and im sure their are alot willing to. Just wear the pink gloves. How about you bet some real money 2:1 you little fagot

chill dude jones will win if the wba appointed the judges .................................. I know, I just like to get myself all worked up.. :friday:

Thanks again Bat!!

It's not on yet Baller...

They showed a complete joke of a scorecard on german tv. Had it even after round six. What, the commentators?

4: Arslan comes out trying to take the play away from Jones. Whoa great fight! Arslan lands some good shots. Jones is working non-stop. He cannot keep the pace up for 12 I'm sure. Arslan is back in this fight, but I still gota go with Jones. 4-0 Not good...does Jones look spent?

Whats up with all the breaks to check on that minor injury? I have a feeling my bet was doomed from the start. As I said, if that was Jones being checked 3 times by the Dr. and bleeding all over the place it would of been stopped long long ago.

2: Jones digs good to the body with the hook. Jones is really working hard. Some big bodyblows landing with thuds! I'm very impresed with Jnes so far. It's pretty much a fight on the half-distance. Not many straight shots. 2-0 Have $100 on Jones...Let's go buddy! Thanks again Bat!

Why did Shane slow down?? Hasn't done much in the last two rounds, looks like he's only looking to clinch since he isn't throwing puches. I'm asking myself the same question....

5: Doctor haas another look at Arslan. A very tough fight this. Jones appears to breathe hard. The floor is red with Arslans blood!! Jones scores with big uppercuts but takes a nasty combo from Arslan. Hmmm... I got Jones again 5-0 If it was Jones bleeding like that the fight would of been stopped long ago.

Stop the fight stop the fight!

9; Doc checks again. Incredible that Jones doesnt appear to gas. Arslan is known for his conditioning. He needs a KO on my card. Arslan has trouble with the soutpaw stance, and perhaps he didnt know Jones was a great infighter? Again Arslan takes a pasting as I see it. 8-1 4 Dr. checks...and not stopped yet...laughin

I'd be more worried about Jones running out of gas. It would take a pretty bad decision to cost him the win. Yes...That is my main concern...But from the sounds of it, I should of already won... laughing...can't see, so don't really know what kind of shape Arslan's face is really in.
