Was Calzaghe vs Lacy an Upset?

[Easy-E]

I think the fashion in which he beat him made it seem like an upset because no one, i repeat NO ONE thought joe would dominate in that fashion.

**** EVEN over here in the UK the odds were 8-1 in Lacys favour.. so i'd say it was abit of an Upset.. NOT to me though.. those 8-1 odds on a UD payed very nice indeed

It was an upset to the casual fan.

Is there a reaosn you didn't put your name in your sig?

[TheEvilSaint]

i dont think it was an upset (even after all the **** i talked prior to the fight), but it was undoubtedly suprising to see calzone beat lacy so easily.

I would of expected Calzaghe at his best to beat Lacy as well as he did, and said at his best he'd anihilate him and embarass him with ease many times beforehand.

I got to agree with PBF34 here. I thought it would be a close fight, and that Calzaghe could win a UD but not that dominantly.

The hindsight commandos are out in full force. The truth is 99% of them were sure that Lacy would knockout Calzaghe and not even put a crease in his shorts. Styles make fights and lacy's weakness played right into Calzaghe's strength. Anybody who thought Lacy would walk over Calzaghe doesn't know the first thing about boxing. Lacy had to plug the holes in his style to win that fight. That is not such an easy thing to do, especially when you have no awarness that there are holes in your style. When his manager and promoter got up in public and on camera and said they were surprised by the outcome, we can only conclude they are incredibly cynical or completely ******.

I was suprised when he won.
