    Diaz and Paul Williams losing were the real upsets this year so far.

    but the thing is, these are GOOD upsets. theyre actually very fun to watch and it isnt really like a top level world class fighter is losing to a bum. Lee was still a prospect, and personally I think he still is.

      Besides tonight the only one that comes to mind is Diaz going down.
      Nate Campbell vs Juan Diaz, Carlos Quintana vs Paul Williams

              No they didn't, Quintana and Campbell were pretty big underdogs.

                Andy Lee is def. still a prospect, but only about as much as Brian Vera is, I think the only thing that made this such a huge upset and andy lee such a huge favorite is the way Emanual Stewart hyped him up, wich this fight proves isnt always a good thing. Sometimes you just gotta let the guys performance in the ring do the talking.

                  Emanual Stewart said he could take on Pavlik or Winky Wright later this year, if he truely believed this then why go put him against Brian Vera instead of Jadon Cordington?

                    I have no idea what Emmanuel Stewart saw in Andy Lee. He's very basic as a fighter and even if he had won, I'd still say the same thing. He seems far from a "Pro" fighter.

                      He didnt look anything like Emmanuel Stewart made him out to be, he looked like nothing more than he is, a young fighter still learning and far from a championship. Bottom line is Emmanuel Ste***** mouth was writing checks that Andy Lee's fist couldnt cash.
