    What was the biggest surprise of Saturday's fights?

    Audley Harrison taking 5 rounds to blast some guy?
    O'Neil Bell quitting?
    Adrian Diaconu - Chris Henry stream crapping out?
    Joe Calzaghe winning a split decision?
    Bernard Hopkins scoring a KD?
    Or Teddy Atlas finally getting a pick right?

    Bernard knocking down Calzaghe wasn't surprising, hell I predicted it somewhere on here a few nights before (and got laughed at for doing so).

    I'd say Bell quitting.

      Personally I'd say it's a tossup between that and Atlas getting a pick right.

        Yeah Teddy can't pick a fight for his life, I don't know why that dude is so respected just because he trained Tyson and Moorer. He knows a lot about boxing in terms of technical things you can do in a fight and how to teach you properly, but on paper he can't pick a fight for ****.

          Atlas picking correctly is like a one in a million shot.

              When he picked Calzaghe my hopes for a Hopkins win soared, that says it all really.

                I was thinking 60-40 Joe and then Atlas goes on television and picks him. On that very moment, it went 90-10 Hopkins. And yet Calzaghe pulled it off, begrudging the Atlas curse.

                  Amazing that Joe was able to do it, very few others have been able to overcome the odds. The only other guy who picks fights as badly as Teddy does is Felix Trinidad, he said Oscar had every advantage over Mayweather, that Winky Wright would walk through Hopkins, etc....

                    Yikes. No wonder why his father slapped in the face during the Roy Jones fight.
