    And I'm telling you, it doesn't show every shift. He was 18-to-1, then 20-to-1 and I just found the 30-to-1.

    Rosario, a 30-to-1 underdog, was supposed to present Williams with a mild challenge, maybe even win a round or two. Instead, he smashed the respected former titlist, ending it with a savage right uppercut and a left hook which forced the battered and bleeding Williams up against the ropes and prompted referee Benjy Esteves to wisely jump in and wave it over.

      Oops
      That's a follow up article written by his promoter in hindsight with no book referenced. Proves less than nothing.

      Believe whatever you want I don't care anymore but he wasn't a +3000 underdog anywhere of note.

        How is that a bigger upset than a 30-1 upset?



        J-Rock's a good fighter, he just isn't durable. He's like Jorge Linares in that sense.

        Banana was weight drained, that's why you saw what you saw in that Charlo fight.
        Of course, although I picked Loma to win on points in a tough fight I didn't count Lopez out for those reasons. As I said in my first post, I'm not saying it was the bigger upset, I'm saying the media seemed to not give Lopez much hope against their P4P #1 and now all the end of year reviews are coming out and Lopez' win seems to be downplayed when it was one of the most significant wins of the year. Having said all that, I might've not picked the best article to have that rant.

          Definitely McCaskill over my wife Braekhus. And you guy got FOY wrong too. It was definitely Estrada/Cuadras II.

            Teofimo beating Lomachenko had way more impact. It completely changed the boxing landscape at 135.

              Yes, but that doesn't make it a bigger upset, just a bigger win.

                Teofimo-Lomachenko was the more meaningful, more impactful upset.

                The upset that left a bigger mark on the year.
