Meaning a fight people discredited and/or refused to watch or pay for beforehand that ended up being a GREAT fight. Personally I recall there being a lot of hate on Pac vs. Marquez 4 before it happened, I dont recall (or really care to know) the ppv#s but Im sure they werent the greatest...
Anyways can you names some fights?
I made this thread because I think people are overlooking Canelo vs Smith and Pac vs Vargas. Styles make fight and if the underdogs chins hold up, we could have some good scraps...
Zab Judah vs Carlos Baldomir. Baldomir had nine losses on his record. A lot of people, including myself, thought this was just a tuneup for Judah for a fight with Mayweather.
Walters - Sosa because I expected Walters to outclass and KO him. The in-fighting was great from both sides! I'm probably the only one who saw it as an extremely close fight, I had either Walters winning by a round or a draw, while most of the people are saying it was a robbery. But I loved the way Sosa fought, it made me become his fan. I can't wait to see him against Davis if that fight is still on because I like both fighters a lot.
Crawford - Gamboa because I expected Crawford to KO him and win every round in the process, due to their size difference.
LOL at Clegg's signature, I can't believe what I'm seeing!
lol I had to take a double look at his sig too... lol Good picks btw.
Zab Judah vs Carlos Baldomir. Baldomir had nine losses on his record. A lot of people, including myself, thought this was just a tuneup for Judah for a fight with Mayweather.
Til this day I still vnt believe that man had the career he did. True Cinderella an.
Provo-Algieri : Dude was obviously brought in for a highlight reel KO, but ended up giving one of the ballsiest underdog performances I've ever seen.
Mayweather-Maidana 1 : I remember a lot of people shítting on that fight because Marcos was seen as an unskilled brawler and tailor-made for Floyd. Ended up being one of the most exciting fights of Floyd's career.
Not a bad choice, I am in the minority that thinks Provo edged it but decent scrap. Provo was TRULY exposed this fight though as a 1 trick pony.
Had to read that 3 times because it seemed impossible anyone would write that. The only people that could have liked that fight are anti-violence advocates who want to see as little punching as possible.
Honorable mention; the last Pac v Bradley was really entertaining for me. Everyone slammed it before hand and I was one of the biggest critics but it turned out to be a lot of fun.
