  • Fights That Went Completely The Other Way

    Fights that you were positive were going go one way and instead went in a whole other direction.

    Two fights that come to mind for me were Tyson-Douglas obviously and I thought Holyfield would get killed in the first fight with Tyson.

    Another is Trinidad-Wright. I picked Tito, never expected a one-side Winky win.

    Yeah, that first Tyson-Holyfield fight was a big shocker to me as well.

    Also, I was sure Lacy would walk right through Calzaghe - so that was another one I definitely didn't see coming!

        Interesting man, I picked both Wright and Holyfield, I was never sold on Tyson's first comeback, I remember him looking a lot more vulnerable in the Bruno fight.
        RJJ vs Tarver massively surprised me, Mosley-Forest also, and then Mayorga vs Forrest following that.

          Margarito vs. Mosely was a white wash I don't think anyone expected.

            Erik Morales vs Zahir Raheem.

            Morales was coming off the win over Pacquiao and I expected him to walk right through the unheralded Raheem.

              Barrera-Pacquiao 1 is a good shout. That was my and a lot of Americans' first look at Manny and after that slaughter, knew he's be around for a good while. I'd go with Provodnikov losing to that Chris Algieri guy, which got Algieri a Pacquaio fight and major payday. Tyson-Douglas and Lewis-Rahman 1 are two more that come to mind for me.

                Pacquiao-Morales 1. I thought Morales would get knocked out.

                Vernon Forrest losing to Sergio Mora the first time.

                  "Big" John Tate getting face first, knocked out cold by Mike "Hercules" Weaver in the 15th round. Even though Weaver was coming on in the championship rounds, I thought for sure Tate was going to win the decision.

                    Lloyd Honeyghan stopping Donald Curry was a shocker..Donald was picked to be the next superstar of boxing and he got slaughtered.
