This has happened too often - people picking the bigger fighter just because of his size. They do not even bother think about the other factors in the fight because they are so convinced that size alone is enough. When I analyzed other aspects in this fight more than 2 months ago, people didn't pay attention and thought I was crazy. However, some people agreed with me, and this number grew as the fight night got closer. I remember someone made a topic saying that watching 24/7 made him feel Pac would win, and someone else said that fans are so "gullible" because a show can make them change their minds in a mismatch as big as this one.
People didn't pick Pac after watching 24/7 because of all the talk that it was an "even fight". That show changed some people's minds because they saw both men sparring and it was clear as day that Oscar had lost his skills, while Pac was in his prime. I always said it - the mismatch here was between their skills, which Pac had a lot more than Oscar at this stage. Even as they warmed up in their dressing room before the fight you could see Oscar had no chance - he barely even threw a punch! All he did was move around and he couldn't even pull the trigger when WARMING UP!!! If I could predict this accurately based on Oscar's last two fights, before seeing them on 24/7 and warming up, it should not be regarded as a "major upset", because it means that the majority of fans and "experts" are just not that smart in the first place. Hopefully after this you'll learn that size alone means nothing when it comes to who will win a boxing match, and you'll look at the whole package a fighter brings to the table before making a quick and uninformed prediction.
