Comments Thread For: BoxingScene Upset of the Year 2017 - Truax Shocks DeGale

[Shadoww702]

I can't even call Bellew vs. Haye an upset because of the injury. Yes, on paper it was, but Haye tore his Achilles and couldn't fight and that affected the outcome. I don't even count that as a legit win for Bellew. It was a total fluke.

Sadam Ali vs. Cotto, on paper it was, but Cotto was old and inactive and age finally showed in that fight.

Beating one legged gimps gets you mad props dont you KNOW???

I mean 1st Cotto beat Sergio

Then some reason Heiland was a #1 and Charlo beat him so now he jumps Jacobs for #1 SMH at that one.

Now Bellow "upsets" Haye???

I think what held him back is most thought he lost the 1st fight?? Cant argue the 2nd one though...

Yeah, the people listening to the HBO commentators and seeing the skewed punch stats that had Chocolatito landing almost 200 more punches. Rungvisai was landing the most significant shots and consistently hurt Chocolatito.

I get what you're saying but that wasn't a robbery and even if people thought it was he won "officially" and the rematch left no doubt.

After seeing DeGale's last 2 fights, I honestly wasn't surprised he lost.

Truax beat his ass, too. That was a great upset.

I made a killing on here with Rungvisai but I was screaming from the rooftops that the oddsmakers had it wrong.I had him figured as a 3-1 dog but when people lined up to give 8-1 I had no choice but to bet..It wasn't that big of an upset.You could see that Chocolatito wasn't as effective at a higher weight before this fight ever happened

I don't think there was even a close second here. I also find it interesting people are considering Rungvisai's wins over Gonzalez upsets. I had him a slight favorite going in to the first fight (and winning more convincingly than the cards indicated) and a heavy favorite going in to the 2nd meeting. Those who watched Gonzalez career could see how he was really struggling at this weight. Regardless, I am in a minority as every "upset of the year" lists I've read has those two fights on it. ?

Absolutely. I never even looked at the money line going in to either one, but I truly thought Rungvisai was favored.

DeGirl has always been an average boxer with a big mouth

DeGirl has never been a great fighter and got exposed again as an averge pug with a very big Brit mouth and no balls.

Anybody know how much each guy made for this fight? Truax posted on his Twitter about paying off his student loans this year. Would be cool to see a family guy like him make some cash.

[Teetotaler]

What a horrible pick. Degale was always a ****ing bum. Never got the hype
