Comments Thread For: Rocky Mountain '14 Upset of The Year: Frankel, More

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

This one might surprise some folks. For me, the upset of the year, wasn’t an upset so much as an eye opener for me. When I got word that Steve ‘Match Makin’ Mestas was working on a fight between Rob Frankel and Robert Rodriguez, I didn’t like it, for Frankel’s sake. Frankel looked to possibly be on his way out of the sport and this could become a passing of the torch type fight, with the young hungry lion beating the wily old veteran. Mestas has never shied away from putting his fighters ‘in tough’, but I saw this one as a mistake. Frankel was riding a 3 fight losing streak and Rodriguez is not a ‘get on track’ type of opponent. Rob was taking a ****ing beating in camp. Manuel Perez and Giovanni Merceron where touching him up and making it look easy at times. My worries increased as the fight approached.

I have not seen some of the fights listed here, but will look for them soon

I don't understand how Marquez vs Alvarado comes close to being an upset though, nevermind upset of the year?

If Alvarado won i'd have called it a minor upset.

article lost credibility soon as they mention Marquez over Alvardo as upset of the year, seriously?

lol Alvardo was supposed to blow marquez out or something?

who the fuck are these boxing writers and do they even watch boxing, or does the owner of this site take whatever and whoever sad fuck with some time on his had to write a damn article?

A 32-15 guy beating a 7-3 guy is upset of the year?
