Was Calzaghe vs Lacy an Upset?

I think it may be a minor upset because more people expected lacy to win, former champions, writers, etc, calzaghe was actually the underdog wasnt he?

Nah I don't consider that an upset. Calzaghe has already established his career long before Lacy came into the picture so it's not an upset, but a big let down though for a lot of Lacy fans.

It was a pickem fight at the time I think, but BoxingScene was definitly pro Lacy, so it didnt seem that way.

Just type in lacy vs calzaghe in the search and check out some of the posts leading up to the fight, this was a massive upset for the American's, however the majority of them were ****** enough to make predictions even though they had not seen Joe fight. We Brits knew that Calzaghe wasn't merely the "gate keeper", as Gary shaw described him.

At the time, it was a pick'em fight. I wouldn't consider an upset, but the result was very surprising to everyone. No one thought Lacy would get worked like that...

I was shocked but I don't think it was an upset.........Calzaghe did what he should as the Veteran and defending Champion.
