Upsets of Week 6#
1) Adilson Rodrigues KO3 Tony Tucker
(For the 2nd time Brazil's Rogrigues earns top honors for this award! He is building a solid case for himself to be added to the "Heavy Weight World Championship" tournament.)
2) Kevin Pompey KO2 Patrizio Oliva
(Few people outside of Troy, New York gave the "Troy Tiger" any chance of beating the smooth boxing and proven world class Oliva in unfriendly territory, let alone knocking him out.)
3) Lamar Parks Ws4 Steve Collins
(That Lamar Parks beat Steve Collins in and of itself was not an upset, as he was only a 2-1 underdog, and a live one at that. It was the manner of the win that was shocking. In England with 18,000+ cheering on Collins, a fairly uneventful fight as far as punch exchanges are concerned, neither fighter was ever hurt or even stunned and punchstat numbers had Collins ahead by 10+ punches. The upset was that Collins did not get the decision in a close fight that he appeared to win.)
