Fights that were seen as very close going in, but ended up very one-sided.

            that was a one-sided fight? wasn't pac beating marquez up and winning most of the rounds before the ko? was corrales-castillo one sided because corrales ko'd castillo in the end?

              Was this considered close beforehand? I vaguely recall Broner being a considerable favorite.

                I think Ward was only a slight bookies favourite going into the fight with Froch but that was a fairly comfortable night for Ward in the end.

                If i remember correctly Froch v Abraham was seen as fairly even before the fight, Froch being a slight favourite. Ended up being one of Froch's easiest nights.

                Floyd v Manny obviously. Bookies had Floyd slight favourite, the DKSAB public had Manny the favourite. It was fairly one sided apart from a few moments.


                Anyone know what the odds were for Mosley v Margarito?

                    Ward vs Kessler no...Ward was underdog to lose that fight. Kessler was favored to win the entire Super 6. It was not really seen as close going in.

                      It wasn't considered close, Broner was seen as the clear fave. People mentioning fights that had a clear favorite.
