    Comments Thread For: BoxingScene.com's 2022 Upset Of The Year: Hector Luis Garcia Over Chris Colbert

    By Keith Idec - Without a fight scheduled, Hector Luis Garcia remained in the gym at this time last year. The Dominican southpaw hoped he would get the chance to change his career and his life, yet Garcia wasn't assured of anything, let alone a televised main event. That's why the little-known Garcia immediately accepted an opportunity to face another undefeated 130-pound contender, Chris Colbert, on about three weeks' notice early last February.

    Makes sense. This site is owned by showtime so of course they'd give it to a guy who's gonna fight someone they're hyping up to be a star.

        How can u have the upset of the year between two totally unknown guys, in a totally irrelevant fight?
        Is that what u have to do to get a contract extension?

          Hector boxed beautifully but I would have given it to Bivol.

            Was this really an upset? Me and my boxing buddies have questioned that Colbert is champion material for a minute. We knew it would be a matter of time before he lost. He's very overrated.

              Is this a joke? Surely Bivol?

                Anybody know what the odds for Canelo-Bivol were? Most people here were 50/50 on the fight IIRC.

                  The only people who would consider Bivol vs Alvarez an upset are those who hadnt seen Bivol fight or complete knuckleheads or journalists milking the cow.
