Basically, Trump a complete outsider defied critics and pulled of what main stream media never predicted.

Clinton, not popular, but well known and was supposed to be her coming out party to be brutally defeated/schooled...

what fight or scenarios does it remind you of in boxing terms?

Vargas-winky

hard to find something like that

1.most upsets are on established fighters
2,its hard to have coming out vs underdog
3.Vargas-Winky was close not schooling but elections was close too.

I remembered him being the underdog and a quick search confirmed it;
Lacy to win -125
Calzaghe to win +105

BoxingScene Staff Predictions - Jeff Lacy vs. Joe Calzaghe

http://www.boxingscene.com/boxingscene-staff-predictions-jeff-lacy-vs-joe-calzaghe--3266

The biggest fight in the super middleweight division since Roy Jones Jr. met James Toney in 1994, is taking place on Saturday in the MEN Arena in Manchester, England. It is very rare in today's boxing world, to see two undefeated champions clashing to settle the issue of who is the best fighter in their weight class. The IBF super middleweight champion Jeff Lacy (21-0, 17 KOs), of St. Petersburg, Fla., will make the fifth defense of his title against Joe Calzaghe (40-0, 31 KOs), of Newbridge, Wales, by way of Hammersmith, England, who is making the 18th defense of his WBO super middleweight title. While most view this fight as the signature bout that makes Lacy a superstar in the sport, others feel Calzaghe is not going away quietly. Most American fans don't know much about Calzaghe, and a few facts should be known. Calzaghe won his title on Oct. 11, 1997, and defended it 17 times - which makes him the longest reigning champion in boxing. Another fact is that Calzaghe has not lost a bout since starting his amateur career at age 13. The guy can hit, brawl and has shown a decent chin. Calzaghe is better than most think, and the fight should be explosive as both men predict a knockout. The staff of BoxingScene comes together to voice their opinions, predictions and analysis on the big fight. Hank Kaplan - Calzaghe is a smart fighter in the ring, but I think Lacy is too much for him. I like Lacy in this fight. I think Lacy should stop him. Tim Smith - This is the toughest fight in the career of either man, but I like Lacy because of his strength and power. I like Lacy by decision.

Sergio - Chavez jr in terms of how the politics of boxing played out and Martinez sticking it to the wbc. The smaller dude without a say or influence taking it by force vs dinero de vaca who came with not just a big name but one with history

The scenario i would envisaged is two fighters, fighting for a vacated belt, with one being heavily favorite, basically a formality to win and the other to make up the numbers.

Of recent, i can think of Ilunga Makabu vs Tony Belllew...something along those lines
