    When Danny KO’d Amir Khan.

    When Maidana beat the brakes off of Broner.

    Pavlik-Taylor 1 comes to mind.

    I'll just throw out.. Usyk-AJ ?

    From my perspective Barrera - Hamed was pretty close to universal (not unilateral lol) rejoice in seeing the shit-talking Hamed dismantled by an excellent orthodox boxer. Almost felt like a 'win for boxing' as an art.

    Camacho Jr's 'exposure' by Jesse James Leija was certainly universally praised- albeit wasn't actually a loss..

    Maidana-Broner came to mind first that was sweet. Shame old Mike didn't make this thread a battle for 2nd place

    Maidana-Broner is the very first one which came to mind by some distance.

    When Rubio HIV's dating site videos were exposed. That was a glorious day at Fightbeat.

    Pac was the betting favorite over Thurman.

    I bet pacquiao by decision over thurman

    Him being favored, at least in vegas, is misleading because his delusional fans always slanted the odds and made it worthwhile to bet against him

    Weird that Mundine was so hated for saying that the US had 9/11 coming. Which is something that anyone with a half decent knowledge of history and politics would agree with (even though you can still think it was a terrible tragedy)
