Comments Thread For: BoxingScene.com's 2021 Upset of The Year: Martin Stuns Garcia

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Lyle Fitzsimmons - It wasn't Mikey Garcia's first dalliance with inactivity. In fact, the California-born stylist and former four-division title claimant was no stranger to long stretches on the shelf - having taken a 30-month pause from January 2014 to July 2016 before locking down the back half of his jewelry quartet with wins over Dejan Zlaticanin and Sergey Lipinets.

Nah, there were other upsets more deserving ; Mickey was not even a force in this sport anymore. Teofimo was at the top of the mountain after his own upset over Vasily Lomachenka. I still haven't and refuse to watch Garcia vs. Martin, come on bro that SUCKED!

[PeepeePoopooMan]

Lol how tf is pac-ugas an upset? They literally had ugas training for a southpaw before Spencer pulled out with his fake injury. It was all set up.

I'd say Lopez-kambosos was a bigger upset than inactive average fighter in Garcia in a weight class he didn't belong.
hell even Rosado. Especially winning in a ko so early. Or even zepeda-vargas.

It was an upset but the fight itself was kind of meaningless. I think Mikey is done at the top level though and that fight proved it, he's been too comfortable for a while now and you see it in the way he fights. The Lopez vs Kambosos was a huge upset. Hell, I even think that Kiko Martinez vs Kid Galahad was a more meaningful upset that Garcia vs Martin.

This Fitzimmens is really a stubborn log if he can't accept that WBC Franchise is a Superior belt of WBC's family of belts in the same division. Literally WBC Organisations claims Lopez and Kambosos both were Undisputed.
I guess boing has no only stupidest fans (generally) but also generally stupid writers.

Teofimo Lopez had authored one of 2020’s biggest surprises when he unseated Vasyl Lomachenko from his two-belt lightweight throne and added the Ukrainian’s collection to his own IBF title.

Kambosos easily.

Kambosos was a top ten lightweight, Martin was a European level guy who most thought had no business even being in the ring with Mikey. The betting odds should show Martin as a much bigger underdog.

I agree with this pick. Kambosos was highly ranked and has some decent wins

Usyk or Kambosos for me. I didn’t give either much of a chance

Kambosos was a top ten lightweight, Martin was a European level guy who most thought had no business even being in the ring with Mikey. The betting odds should show Martin as a much bigger underdog.

The thing is, to be (fill in the blank) Fight of The Year, it ought to be an important fight. A ten round co-main event in Fresno between to pathetically undersized welters just doesn’t fill the bill, imo.
