    It's close between Pac/DLH and Mosley/Marg, but Marg getting KO'ed was the deciding factor for me. I thought Shane could beat him, but not in the fashion he did and I didn't think Marg could ever really be hurt that badly.

      Pac-DLH was a much bigger shock than any of those other matches.

        None of the Above, the opponents that pulled of the surprise in all four of those are good talented boxers, three of them where top 10 P4P at the time of the fight.

        Buster Douglas and Hassem Rahman on the other hand...

          I picked Pacquiao to defeat Oscar, so that was no surprised.

          But I was shocked to see Margarito so badly beaten last night.

              For me, it's gotta be MP vs ODLH.

                For me it is either Pacquiao's destruction over De La Hoya, or Mosley's destruction over Margarito... nevertheless they were all excellent upsets!

                  I was surprised that Mos got the stoppage but I felt he could win on points. Didn't necessarily think he WOULD, but that he could.

                  I predicted Bore Hard to beat Moby, Amigorito vs Quitto was a close call.



                  I'd say Ping Ping pinging Oscar for me.
