When Underestimating "Eurobums" Goes Wrong

[ShoulderRoll]

Looking for occasions where taking a supposedly soft Euro lightly ended up backfiring.

Oscar de la Hoya vs Felix Sturm
Mikey Garcia vs Sandor Martin

Who else you got?

Wilder-fury first fight


Jermaine Taylor- Froch

Or Mikey is just overrated?

The lower weight divisions might be the most overrated division. And if not, they’re up there with 140, 154 and cruiserweight divisions.

Jermaine Taylor- Froch

Fury was no Eurobum.

He had beaten Klitschko by the time Wilder fought him.

Europe has over taken America now. Ukraine alone is a boxing superpower now tbh.

If you take the UK as a whole it is a boxing superpower now too

From what I've heard, SRR underestimated Turpin before their first fight. Duran vs Laing and Honeyghan beating Curry are 2 other big upsets involving UK guys.

I've never read that Jacobs underestimated Pirog but fans did and especially HBO, they didn't even have a translator there because they assumed he was a scrub.

RJJ and Hopkins vs Calzaghe.
Tzuyu vs Hatton.
Porter vs Brook.
