Rosales - Higa should've been a shout

Brant making Murata look silly is my #1 upset also. Followed by Navarrette vs. Dogboe

Yup, Brant and Navarrette wins were the biggest upsets. I thought Harrison was a live dog in that matchup, he's always had the skills but it was a question if he'd have the mental and physical conditioning to stick around for 12 rounds. He did, it was close and he got the nod.

Also, let me say that it was no robbery. The "fix" wasn't in. The judges preferred Harrison's ring generalship and defense over the power and agression of Charlo. That loss for Charlo cost Hayman, PBC and everyone else involved alot of money. We always complain when an "A side" or house fighter gets the benefit of the doubt in close rounds, well this is what happens when the reverse happens....

Navarrete vs. Dogboe is a bigger upset.

We've seen Tony Harrison fight before and we knew he had skills, he just had stamina problems in the past. But an upset wasn't out of the question if he stuck to a gameplan.

I doubt anyone, other than people living in Mexico, have seen Navarrete fight before. I certainly haven't and just by looking at his boxrec, he didn't exactly fight top level opponents. Meanwhile Dogboe defeated champion Magdaleno and ran through Cesar Juarez. This looked like a lamb being lead to slaughter. It turned out completely different. I was really shocked by what happened.

Navarrete vs Dogboe was the real upset of the year

I'm from México and Navarrete was a unknown fighter

Dogboe was the big favorite 10 vs 1

was an unexpected result and turn off events but it was nice to see a little shake up in the ranks with some new blood in Harrison...

ah well a rematch has been ordered and will be made then the final verdict can be made in the rematch result as to who was better...

Every website I go to says the same thing EXCEPT Fat Dan who is blaming the judges??? Hes becoming a JOKE!!! He's getting to personal and involved with fighters. Once he falls in love with a fighter he can't separate from it and do his JOB professionally

I believe Harrison was around the same betting odds. But most experts gave Harrison a chance??? While no one even knew who Navarrete was??? 10-1 odds sounds SUPER low??? You sure about that?? I just cant picture it the same as Harrison???
