    Could Chaves pull a postol on Special K?

    I honestly think Kell is over looking this kid.......do you think Chaves can pull the upset?

    I think it'll be a more exciting and competitive fight than people expect, but ultimately I think Kell wins a close but clear decision, something like 8-4.

      Considering he fights nothing like Postol then probably not.

      Unless you equate every minor upset in boxing to be "pulling a Postol" now

        I watched Thurman-Chaves again the other night - how did you have it before Thurman got the KO?

          I had it 4-4 after 8 and obviously the 9th round was 10-8 for Thurman. So going into the 10th I had Keith 2 points up.

          It was a very competitive and exciting fight.

            I had the same score when I rewatched it. For some reason, I thought I remembered Thurman pulling away after the first 5/6 rounds but it was still up for grabs until Thurman landed that shot in the 9th.

            "The Sprinter" had a good game today eh?

              Thurman adapted well and started winning more rounds after 3-4, but it was still competitive throughout.

              And yeah little Fio was alright. Sanchez doe

                Or the infamous "It could be Douglas-Tyson you know".

                BEcause it does not matter that Postol and Douglas were both bigger and taller than the favorite, fans overlook that maybe physical advantages had something to do with the upset.

                But na, Rey Mysterio Jr could pull a Douglas on Wladimir Klitshcko in NSB. Hey it can happen, look at Douglas-Tyson doe!

                    I'm not pissed. I don't even drink any more.

                    Chaves could certainly pull the upset, I think it's Brook's toughest fight stylistically.
