Top 5 Biggest Upsets in Boxing History
Boxing is the one sport in which you can lose every minute of the contest and still come out with the victory. 5. Vince Phillips TKO 10 Kostya Tszyu Kostya Tszyu entered his fight with Vince Phillips as a huge favorite. He was undefeated, held the IBF junior welterweight title and had huge knockout pressured Tszyu and the two engaged in many notable exchanges. The fight was toetotoe an extremely close entering the ninth round, when just over a minute in, Phillips landed the shots that rocked, hurt and ultimately stopped Tszyu s undefeated streak. Phillips forced Tszyu along the ropes and unleashed hell. He landed several clean, hard shots that had his opponent out on his feet. Nothing was holding him up but the ropes and the stoppage was totally justified. 4. Lamon Brewster TKO 5 Wladimir Klitschko Few people had even heard of Lamon Brewster, much less gave him a shot, when he traveled to Germany to challenge Wladimir Klitschko for the vacant WBO heavyweight champions
