    Upsets So Far!!!!

    Seems like there have been quite a bit of upsets in the first half of the boxing year, I can think of six right off the top of my head and was wondering what others I may be overlooking:

    1)Brian Vera over Andy Lee
    2)Carlos Quintana over Paul Williams
    3)Nate Campbell over Juan Diaz
    4)Joel Casamayor over Michael Katsidis
    5)Timothy Bradley over Junior Witter
    6)Reynaldo Lopez over Mike Oliver

    Never heard of the fighters at number 6. Also Quintana over williams wasn't that much of an upset they are both good.

      The #6 bout was an ESPN fight, and Oliver was the undefeated showcase against a Colombian nobody.

      Quintana was definately the underdog in that fight.

      I don't think Casamayor beating Katsidis was a huge upset.

        Based on his horrible performance against Santa Cruz alot of people thought he was washed up like dirty dishes. I would say it was a memory check rather than an upset.

            K9 over Ouma (though some will argue Ouma was shot after losing his previous fight)
            Bunema over Karmazin

              correct me if im wrong but i believe that Quintana was over a 4-1 underdog against Williams.

              And it was such a big upset, that even right now for the rematch Quintana is STILL the underdog.


              I gotta go with VERA over LEE as the upset of the year so far, although i did predict it

                With all these upsets Im kind of worried about the Pavlik/Lockett fight. If Pavlik somehow loses that one I will be totally shocked.

                  Bunema over Karmazin definately.

                  Bundrage didn't have a good resume up to that point, while Ouma did, I would still think that was an upset.

                  SKILLS, I agree with your analysis of the Casamayor-Katsidis fight.

                    Can't believe Vera stopped Lee, I think Lee will dominate him in the rematch.
