And if Litzau fights Gamboa...****. That's going to be gruesome while it lasts. Caballero couldn't punch and didn't take him seriously. Gamboa hits like Goku or some **** like that.

By Jake Donovan - At no point in his 15-year career has Mexican junior flyweight Gilberto Keb Baas enjoyed an unbeaten streak that has lasted longer than six fights.

That changed in a very big way in 2010, as did his career status.

Forever known as a journeyman in the lower weight classes, Keb Baas can now add “junior flyweight titlist” to his resume thanks to his shocking 12-round points win over Omar Nino Romero on November 6 in Merida, Yucatan, Mexico.

How big of an upset was it? Keb Baas already beat Nino Romero once before – 12 years ago in what was Romero’s first loss – yet few if anyone believed the result could ever again be replicated.

Their 1998 meet was the first of two times Nino Romero would suffer a stoppage loss, bowing out in five rounds when both fighters were still in the prospect stages of their respective careers. [Click Here To Read More]

Surprised there was no mention of Lee-Poonsawat.

That was one of the biggest upsets of the year IMO.

Litzau and Garth Wood pulled doozies!

good call on that one. How our voting process works is that each participating staff member votes on their Top 3. From there, the top vote getter receives honors, second highest gets runner up and any other fight/fighter that receives at least one vote lands in Honorable Mention.

I probably still should've added the fight to the Hon. Mention queue, even though it wasn't in anyone's personal top three (including mine). But it was definitely a notable upset, no doubt.
