Ah ok, I thought you were saying Rock/Lewis was a bigger upset than Douglas/Tyson...Martinez/Barker would be a massive upset ( 9/1 ? ) but if it came off, I imagine there have been other shockers that would compare.King Geedorah wrote:Aye, but despite all this not a single person, or at least very few, turned around and nailed their colours to the mast and predicted a Rahman win. Rahman had lost a few, boxed for minor belts and unlike Barker he didn't have the confidence of an '0'. I think it was a bigger upset. Jones-Johnson also give and take.MightyWarrior wrote:Not really, Lewis was asking for trouble before that fight - it was like Please, knock me out. Instead of training he was hanging out with Julia Roberts and co in Hollywood, filming Ocean's 11, then ignores all the good advice to get out to Africa early and acclimatise, instead turning up as late as possible. It was obvious the last thing on his mind was Rahman, and I think a lot of people had a bad feeling about Lewis going into that one - The first McCall fight was still a vivid memory and a disaster seemed a real possibility. More so when the BBC finally decided to show one of his fights - the kiss of death. ( they put the HEX on Roy Jones tooKing Geedorah wrote: I think Lewis-Rahman I was a bigger upset.DD )
A win for Barker would be an upset, but the biggest since 1990? I don't think it would be, especially as we'd get a few, 'I always said Martinez was hyped' claims if Barker was to win.

Martinez will probably stop Darren around 9 I think, and it could be pretty one sided ( hope not though )
