Which fight(s) will it be? I have a feeling Roberto Ortiz and Kiko Martinez will shock the boxing world.

Kiko Martinez vs. Carl Frampton

Wladimir Klitschko vs. Kubrat Pulev

Adrien Broner vs. Emanuel Taylor

Lucas Matthysse vs. Roberto Ortiz

Andre Berto vs. Steve Chambers

Why will there be 1-2 upsets on 9/6/14? What proof do you have?

Not to brag, but I have a spider sense when it comes to these things. But I highly doubt it will be the Klitschko fight.

I say Kiko Martinez

and hopefully Emanuel Taylor will pull an upset but I doubt.

Martinez has a good chance, but i do truly believe Frampton has world class talents. He's the only one that could offer Rigo some problems in the division in my eyes.

winners in bold (imo)

Frampton beating Martinez is hardly an upset. Yes Kiko has a belt but Carl beat him so he is a favorite. In the rest I dont expect upset. Although what do I know about Roberto Ortiz or Steve Chambers? Nothing.

The way everyone seems to be backing out of fights at the last minute.
The upset will be if all fights actually happen.

Who's been pulling out?

While Ortiz ain't a bad fighter and is one of the most entertaining fighter in MX, he is scarifying his d a lot and his chin won't be able to afford it

Idk if Andre losing @ this point is even much of an upset since he's only won one fight in the last 4 years, but I think he could lose, even to this guy who's losing to prospects. And I think Lucas is one of the most overrated guys in the sport so I could see him getting beat easy to lotsa guys.

I'd love to see Wlad lose to make the HW division more interesting, but I get the feeling Kubrat isn't capable of getting it done on his best day.

I think Adrien is becoming pretty underrated these days. Guy is a silly mfer no question, but he's a talented cat & he'll win. I mean the only guy he lost to was a guy who gave the best fighter in the world a tougher than expected fight in a division Adrien likely moved to too quickly.

IMO, the only one of these fights that even presents the possibility of an upset is Frampton - Martinez.

Did Frampton struggle with Martinez last time?

Chambers is a club fighter, even a diminished Berto should have no trouble with him

Not massively but competitive throughout he just landed a shot out of nothing.

Rematch will be a class fight

Saw first few rounds of Taylor v Algieri Taylor shouldn't trouble Broner at all.

Hopefully Matthysse can take Broners head off by the end of the year.

Matthysse-Ortiz to me the only one that has a chance for the upset.

I made this comment as a joke.But I wish I had put money on it.Klitschko pulled out.

Maybe Taylor will beat Broner? He beat the guy that beat the guy that beat Danny Garcia. :idea:
