    My bad, I was so excited about the Garcia win that this fight completely slipped my mind. Damn there's been a lot of upsets and we're only half way through the year.

    Can a mod add Mike Jones vs Randall Bailey to the poll? Thx

        it's not comparable to Sonny Boy Jaro or Lopez breaking Ortiz's jaw
        Yes I know what he brings to the table but did we expect Abril to do it? I sure as hell didnt so I consider it an upset despite what the judges say. Im sure Rios was the big favorite going into the fight too.

          How about Paulie winning a title by KO.....could that be considered an upset victory?

            It was an upset in my book, considering that he fought in his opponent's home country and everybody thought he would get robbed and didn't have the power to get a stoppage.

              but jaro is actually a bum of a fighter. He is also old as fck but some how managed to ko pong after he had beat a good fighter in sosa. All the other fighters who won where at least decent fighters or champs

                Yes...good point. I did pick Jaro out of the list. Besides, even though many of us saw Abril winning, that fight doesnt fall under this category. It fits the robbery of the year. I just wanted to point it out so some wont forget about it that he was a replacement fighter. Similar to Lopez.

                  Khan has lost his last 2 fights so I dont see the controversy.


                  Pacquiao by a country mile.

                    I've gone for Sillakh vs Grachev on the basis nobody gave him a chance, most hadn't heard of him and many thought Sillakh was the next big thing. He was also a massive 12/1+ underdog

                      Not even legitimizing Bradley's "upset" by considering it.

                      Sonny Boy over Pongaksdfjg;aff;a; gets my vote.
