Shock of the year: Round 2

[The Wire]

OK, so I screwed up the first one. I admit that. Here's another one. Hope you find this better. And yes, I go for Raheem vs Morales.

I agree Mystical, the Raheem victory over Morales is easily the biggest surprise.

I think it is kind of funny how a guy that was being touted as one of these all time great mexican fighters is able to simply ignore a loss like it never happended-does he ever intend on fighting Raheem again and if not it appears the boxing scribes out there are willing to give the face first slugger a pass.

So is it just ok that Morales cant adapt to a boxer who is not willing to go in and do a little face to face combat? I guess it is OK.

Morales is a great warrior but in my mind a fighter like JL Castillo will prove in the end to be the mexican horse most remembered, not Morales.

For both,their worst nighmare is a slyck boxer,Castillo just lost to a better name,I think your being a little hard on Morales though.Your basically saying Raheem exposed morales.

I incline to vote more for the Tyson loss to McBride. I understand that Tyson was washed up but even on Tyson's worst nights McBride was the typical mode of opponent that always suited his style, in his prime or otherwise. If Tyson had'nt have been so inactive i think the loss to McBride would have been more of an upset!
