Was just doing some research, baldomir-judah was about 12:1 odds. I knew they were big but I thought they were closer to 8:1.

It still pales in comparison as if memory serves me right Douglas was a 25:1 dog.

I remember it being something like 42-1.

February 11th 1990 was such a day. I was in Japan as a dependent as my father was stationed at Camp Zama. Mike Tyson vs James "Buster" Douglas at the Tokyo Dome. Funny thing was, I could have gone to this fight. Our MWR/USO had a bus going down there, plus FREE tickets. But no. This was going to be a 1 rd blowout right? The only Vegas hotel that had odds on it was the Hilton at 42-1. It was supposed to be that much of a mismatch. However no one told Douglas that.

That's what it ended at, which seldomly shows the true intentions of bookies. The line moving is simply to cover their own ass in case one side is getting an obscene amount of action, which Tyson was. It happens a lot more when the public gets involved, rather than just the standard gamblers. And that's just what Tyson brought, the general public.

The bookies laughed thir ass all the way to the bank on that one.

anybody got the louis schmeling fight for upload? it was posted up here a while ago, but the link ran out. anybody?

Of course. I challenge anyone to find a better example of an underdog pulling off the win. Keep in mind, Judah was the undisputed welterweight champ and had obliterated Spinks (who was about #6 on the p4p lists), and Baldomir roughed Judah up IN JUDAH'S HOMETOWN!!!! That's insane when you put it all together.

if you want to look strictly in terms of odds i believe baldomir was anywhere from 12-14 to 1 underdog.

tyson was 10 to 1 over mcbride and something similar against williams i think?

Leonard-Hagler and Judah-Baldimir, easily.
