Fights That Went Completely The Other Way

[Emon723]

Agree on Winky-Tito, another is Terry Norris-Simon Brown 1, it was supposed to be Norris knocking Brown out like he did to Blocker and Taylor.

Toney-Holyfield, I was convince the real deal even at 41 will be too much on James. I was shock at how Toney was able to beat the 4-time former heavyweight champion with ease.

Bobby Czyz vs Andrew Maynard. Was ringside
For this beatdown. So much for Czyz being a stepping stone
Fight for the former Olympic star Maynard

[Dynamite76]

Davey Moore-Roberto Duran
Saad Muhammad-Braxton I.
Page-Berbick.

[Anthony342]

Yeah, other than Tyson-Douglas, Fury-Klitschko is the only other one I can think of, maybe Bowe-Holyfield 3 as well.

Basilio vs Robinson 1, the Reining welterweight champ bumps up to challenge the middleweight champ and wins!! And that's that

I wasn't around then, but was was Basilio the favorite going in?

[clemenza]

I believe Robinson was the favorite. There is the all time great interview with Howard Cosell after the weigh in before there second fight , his left arm around Carmens shoulder & cigarette burning in hand and Cosell says " carmen I've interviewed 10 sports writers for this fight and 9 of them have picked Robinson , what to you have to say to that ". Basilio says 9 of them are wrong. Typical Carmen.

[Tony Trick-Pony]

I thought Michael Carbajal would wreck Chiquita Gonzalez in their rematch. Definitely didn't happen. Not a wash by Gonzalez but a clear win, I thought.
