    How many upsets happened this year?

    Marquez-Pacquiao[50-50 fight, but an upset of how it happened]
    Lopez-Ortiz
    Garcia-Khan
    Bailey-Jones
    Guerrero-Berto
    Grachev-Sillakh
    Abril-Rios[upset/robbery]
    Guzman-Khabib[not to me]
    Froch-Bute
    Beltran-Lundy
    Salido-Lopez II[If i'm not mistaken he was once again the underdog, and a lot of people claimed the first one was a fluke/Lopez got careless]
    Campillo-Cloud[upset/robbery]

    Did I miss any?

    Was the year for upsets, 2012.

    I dont recall many people thinking Burns would beat Mitchell either, im sure there's quite a few more aswell.

              That would really be a crazy way to cap off 2012, and it would bring the kind of momentum that would lead to a very eventful 2013.

                I agree #1 and 3 are upsets, but they are minor upsets because the fighters are up and comers. Anything could happen to up and comers. But I agree they belong on the list of upsets.

                  Froch-Bute is there.

                  Was Cotto-Trout really an upset? I mean I know Trout was underdog, so technically it's an upset. But the vibe around this fight was "I hope Cotto wins so that we could see Canelo vs Cotto", not that "Oh Cotto is gonna crush this kid, he's definitely gonna win".

                    Cotto-Trout definitely an upset..

                    Cotto was supposed to bully Trout and whoop dudes ass..Trout's punching power or volume wasn't anything to worry about..and someone moving backwards against Cotto is putting the meal on the plate for Cotto..

                    Obviously..the opposite happened..Trout moved..pot shotted and frustrated Cotto and even began to walk him down..it wasn't expected one bit by most fans with the exception of very few..
