    Jeff Lacy vs Jermaine Taylor... Taylor got ko'd and crapped his pants when he realized that Jeff Lacy trained really hard for his fight with taylor and lands almost every punch he throws on taylors body and face. Thats what happens when you Jermaine Taylor and try to pick fights you think are easy but turn out to not be. On a serious note, I really hope both fighters take this fight serious and don't do some friendship gay thing like rig the fight so its a draw. Basically, I let you win 6 rounds and you let me win 6 rounds.

      Morrison/Bentt was easily the funniest upset that i have ever seen. Morrison was taking on Bentt as a tune up because he was getting prepared to have this mega pay day with Lennox Lewis. Morrison was knocked down 3 times in the first round and was stopped becuase there was a 3 knock down rule. My uncle seen it live and told me that he almost choked on his food from laughing at that.

        How about Chavez vs Randall and Forrest vs Mayorga? Don't know if Randall and Mayorga werer tune up fighters?
        Mayorga was the other champion in the division. That was to unify champions, no tune up fight there.


        IMO Big tune up fight gone wrong in recent times was: Judah-Baldomir

                  Explain to me how a fight for a vacant world title is a tuneup fight?

                      How was fighting for a world title, his 9th in 6 different weight classes a tuneup fight exactly?
