    Fights you thought your fighter would lose, but he surprised you?

    Anyone ever watch a fight where you were sure your fighter was gonna lose but you rooted for him anyways. Except in the end it was he who won when you were sure this was gonna be it for him?

    Jorge Arce vs Wilfredo Vasquez Jr.

    Arce was way past his prime, and essentially they were feeding him to Wilfredo Vasquez Jr. who was suppose to be the next rising star.

    I was watching hoping he just didn't get embarrassed.

      I've predicted Froch to lose quite a few times only to be pleasantly surprised.

          Pacquiao obviously. So many underestimate this guy and proved them wrong so many times. Even in Fantasy Fight he's always in the losing side. Even he's an Atg now they still criticize him for having low ring IQ.lololol

          Look what he did to Bradley and Algeiri. Some thouhgt this 2 Fighter styles is nightmare to Pac and yet he proved they are wrong again. wahahaha

          Pac knows what he's doing. He has his own style and dominate on some of the best boxers today.

          Some ****ty amateur youtube analyst like wilson kayden can't even comprehend what makes Manny Pacquiao great.

            Pac vs Ledwaba
            Pacquiao vs Barrera I - I'm pretty sure barrera would win.
            Pac vs Dela Hoya - I lost a lot of money on this fight, pac has done the impossible.

              My brother in law was sure that Mosley would lose to Margarito. Seemed like he was geared up to watch Mosley's funeral. We were all shocked at what a dominating performance he put in.

              I don't remember thinking Mosley would be murdered, but definitely didn't expect for him to smash Margarito like that.

                I honestly couldnt comprehend how people thought Marg would win. Shane is like the worst matchup for him of his era.

                Same with the Ortiz vs Berto fight where Berto was a 2-1 fave and Salido vs Juanma.

                Froch has been the dude that I didnt know if he'd pull these wins off lol.

                  Only fight where the guy I was rooting for won, and I was sure he'd lose was Maidana vs. Broner.

                  Fight I got totally wrong was Lucas/Danny.

                  A big part of me thought B-Hop could potentially embarrass Kovalev, but was pleasantly surprised. Still gave the edge to Kovalev though.

                    I thought Groves was gonna take it in the rematch with Froch. What a finish to that fight.
