The Upset School

I'ma post a video of that one just for those who ain't seen it, I m getting to age where I forget just how long ago some of these fights were... somehow in my head even the turning of the Millennium doesn't feel like it was long ago lol..

Simply a masterclass although TBF whilst the narrative at the time heavily favoured Lacy the odds were actually much closer than you'd think, opening with Lacy at something like -110 Joe at +150 and of course Joe was the champ

another one that turned out against expectations was the young bluechip Danny Jacobs getting thoroughly bamboozled and ultimately KOd by relative unknown Russian Dmitry Pirog who was about a +300 'dog. The great Manny Steward's commentary is measured and on point as ever. Miss that dude.

EDIT: Ha ha.. I forgot about that, at about 24:25 you can literally see the shock and dismay on Valcarels (then WBO pres for those who don't know) face on the second row - yellow/black tie - as his plan to install Jacobs as their champion goes up in smoke. Priceless.

I didn’t do all my homework but I did not know that the odds for Calzaghe vs Lacy the odds were that close
In my head they were much wider ????? Hmmmm maybe my head is going also , as that was a while ago

- - Barrera was highly Ring Ranked as their champion as anyone not in grade school knew then. That was that was one of the hottest fights of the era that announced Manny as the top P4P fighter in the entire history of Ring Rankings.

What grade was U in then?
