    I think it was a bit upsetting that Chavez Jr. got stopped, didn't think that would happen. But I agree, most boxing fans saw that Fonfara would be a bad choice for Chavez. But the betting sites in Europe all had Chavez Jr as a favorite almost 1-4. Def not an upset of the year though.

      Chavez was like a -350 favorite, surprisingly.

      WIth most hardcore fans, though, they saw Fonfara as the favorite.

        One was a beatdown, the other a war.

        hmm.. hard to decide.

            Everything above is true but for some reason I enjoyed the Chavez-Fonfara fight more. Maybe because I like both Matthysse and Provo and was kind of worried about the beating Provo was taking most of the fight.

              Both were exciting but Matt-Prov was more because they were competitive. It was really enjoyable to see JCC Jr get put on his @ss then quit on his stool.

                i enjoyed fonfara vs chavez jr more, a lot more actually.

                i get the point about matthysse vs provodnikov being more competitive, but i still didnt enjoy that fight much tbh. it didnt have much drama for one and i thought matthysse pretty much schooled provodnikov too just not to the same degree.

                also i was surprised in a positive way that there was a stoppage in fonfara-chavez, which i didnt expect. while i did expect matthysse to KO provodnikov and was disappointed when he didnt.

                    I thought Matthysse vs Provodnikov was the more exciting fight, the Fonfara vs Chavez Jr was pretty one sided.

                      I remember seeing him as high as a 3-1 underdog
