    Downset of the year

    The lexicon of boxing needs another word to describe what happened yesterday to Evander Holyfield. I propose that we call an upset that should have happened a downset. The formal definition being losing a fight you should have won although you had little chance of winning in the first place. By this definition Holyfield vs Valuev is clearly the downset of the year.

      It ain't worth watching. Holyfield seemed to hit him hard two or three times a round, but it didn't have any affect on Valuev. I can't even remember if Holyfield got hit.

          That is why it has to be the downset of the year.

            I saw the whole thing. I had Holy winning 117-111. The fight wasnt close, Valuev got another gift. He should be banned from fighting in Europe unless his opponent is European as well.

              So then you agree, it is the downset of the year.

                Yeah, the right word to describe it. I fell bad for Holifield.
