    Upsets Yet To Come???

    OK, there are some pretty good fights going down across the world in the next few weeks, does anybody see any upsets in any of the following:

    Broner-Perez
    Povetkin-Huck
    Juanma-Salido II
    Burns-Moses
    Martinez-Macklin
    Brook-Hatton
    Kessler-Stieglitz

    More interestingly (of course), who would you lay down money on to pull the upset? Currently have bets on Perez at 7/2, Maidana at 11/8 (yeah, he's not an underdog, but he's still got longer odds), Huck at 3/1 (bit iffy) and Stieglitz at a surprisingly good value 12-1 on points.

    Thoughts, opinions, queries, ephemera...

      What would be the upset in Salido-Lopez 2? I don't see how that's an upset either way, but I'm picking Salido.

          Just in terms of odds, is all. I realise Juanma-Salido is much more of a pick'em fight than the others, but hey, why not include it. And I got Kirkland against Molina, but not without a hairy moment, can see your point. Jangles, who you got in Broner-Perez?

              dawson is a 5-1 favorite. Wouldn't hurt to put a little bit of cash on hopkins just cuz he's done it so many times before.

                i see salido winning again and i'm with bojangles..i wouldn't really call it an upset. i like molina over kirkland as well. those are both pick'em fights to me.

                an upset in the other fights would be surprising to me. i'm not really sure how i feel about povetkin, but i don't think a whole lot of huck either. i'm under the impression that povetkin's training camp hasn't gone as smoothly as he would have liked. he was kinda rocking a double chin in those pics from the other day.

                i'd probably throw some money on huck if i was gonna bet on a dog

                  I was just struck by how bulky Huck looked. Hopefully it's effective muscle mass that won't slow him down. Just thinking as well that Huck's had plenty of help from judges in the past, might happen here if it's a close fight...

                    Also gauze, surely 12-1 on Stieglitz is worth a pop just in case Kessler's lost a step...
