I don't think these were upsets at all. Waters really was robbed and Clottey isn't a middleweight.

To me the biggest upset was fury over Wlad. Maybe not in terms of betting odds, but in terms of significance.

As far as complete shcoks, the three that stand out to me are (not in order):
Jack over Dirrell (Didn't think he had a chance after getting knocked out by edwards)
Postal over Lucas (I knew postol was good but didn't see him knocking him out. I guess this wasn't as much an upset as to who one but rather how)
granadas over Iman (I really thought Iman was a future star. He may still be but before this fight was I actually favoring him to beat postol whom he would have been mandatory for)

I knew Imam was hype because he was with King and Don was talking so unrealistically about the kid fighting Floyd that I knew he was only looking for a payday. I wasn't surprised he got beat, I was just surprised the way the fight played out.

Postol win and the way he won it was definitely a shock to me. I never really thought all that much of Dirrell so I wasn't surprised he lost that one.

But what did you think of Glowacki vs Huck, wasn't that a shocker??

3 of the last 4 aren't upsets. Saunders was about 50/50 with Lee going into that fight. Herrera was the favorite over Lundy I'd imagine, and IMO Rosado vs Clottey was even going in. I picked Gabe to win.

I wasn't suprised that Iman got beat either,he didn't adjust anything Granados was trying to do,Amir allowed him to keep him on the ropes & nail him the whole fight.Amir wasn't defensive nor did he use his feet are trying to back him up with his jab.

If pick Mendy beating Luke Campbell.

Really couldn't see Campbell losing as I did/and still think he's a special fighter.
