Upsets

[Goldenskillz]

Anyone had an upsets yet, thought i would ask since what happened in my first main event Jamie Foster vs. Lefter Oktay.

Both men are considered amongst the best so neither winning would be an upset except Foster got KO'ed in something like 50 seconds....which shocked me.

EDIT: Also had a upset earlier on the card, signed Russell McPhee cuz he had the look but his skills wern't nothin special. So i decided to test him against someone who had a mixed record. So i put him against Fatuma Roy. Russell got his ass handed to him right up to the end of the third round when he got a lucky (I presume) punch in and saved grace knocking Fatuma spark out.

[gbmoore]

I had a similar thing with Foster. Not an upset because of the opponent, but shocking in style. He was KO'd 0:23 in the 2nd by Rick Stanley.

[flaviooooo]

Here Foster got knocked out as well by Lefter Oktay, 1:28 in the first round :)

Not a good start for Foster it seems

[The Authority]

Foster lost to Rick Stanley in mine! The guy's just a loser.... :D

[Adam Ryland]

That's the problem with Foster, he likes to get in close and wrestle, so he's always risking getting punched in the face - not great when GAMMA have a lot of heavyweights with dynamite in their gloves!

[BlizzardVeers]

Added a few Heavyweights from the 2005 Database I'm working on. Lefter Oktay KO'd Mirko in about 14 seconds. Just landed really flush. Surprised me. :o

[The Authority]

Makes me wonder who he (Foster) was up against to only be 12-2 at the games' start. Possibly only other wrestlers?

[Rob4590]

Foster beat Stanley (unanimous decision) in mine.

Had what I think is a big upset on the same card - Lefter Oktay got beaten by Steve Mason (also by unanimous decision)

[Adam Ryland]

That's the assumption Authority, yes. You'll notice a couple of things:

1 - He lost his title to a big puncher in Raul Hughes

2 - He's the golden boy of GAMMA, and so likely gets protected as to what opponents he gets fed.

Although he has a tendency to get knocked out occasionally, he can be absolutely devastating if the other guy can't get punches in. Some games he tends to be absolutely dominant, some games he seems to struggle, it's an oddity that is entirely down to luck it seems.

[BlizzardVeers]

Reminds me of someone who's last name starts with O. Hm.

[Goldenskillz]

Damn it again, 2nd game...wanted to try out a TV Special. Main Event once again Foster vs. Oktay and once again 1st round 52 seconds in bang Foster gets KO'ed again. He pinned Oktay against the cage, but once Oktay escaped one Elbow to the jaw and he's out....i think that was Oktays only move in the report lol.

Also Blurcar printed my fighters earnings and my two biggest earners both lost in the first round.....Shows GAMMA's eye for talent :P.

[Undertaker666]

I don't recall ever having Foster lose to Oktay during testing so that certainly surprises me. Biggest upsets i've had both involve the same guy: Shane Gilchrist. He's not a bad fighter so I was shocked when he lost to Oscar Gomez and Manol Sirakov.

Manol Sirakov also had a winning streak that led him all the way to the Heavyweight championship, which was a string of upsets in itself, but he then went on to win the title too! :eek:

[mad5226]

I just had Foster lose in 42 seconds in the first round to Rick Stanley....shocked the hell out of me

[kckid4u]

James Foster lost by TKO to Fatuma Roy, 54 sec of Rnd 1.

[mad5226]

seems like Mr. Foster is a flake doesn't it lol

[PoisonedSuperman]

2 champions went down in my first show! I expected both of them to win but Mike Watson beat Asanovic and Tim Boyer beat raul Hughes!

[Undertaker666]

2 champions went down in my first show! I expected both of them to win but Mike Watson beat Asanovic and Tim Boyer beat raul Hughes!

Did Boyer win by kicking Huges up the side of the head which resulted in a KO?

[PoisonedSuperman]

Yes Knock Out in round 2!

I have talked Nick Detroit into moving up to face James Foster, lets see if I got the Foster curse too.

Oh and they wouldn't let me book Derek South vs. Foster for fear of South's life! HAHA, they said he was to overmatched

[Undertaker666]

Yes Knock Out in round 2!

I knew it! With Boyer's huge reach advantage (he's 6' 7") and great kicks he's deadly standing up, especially against someone like Hughes who's primarily a puncher. :D

[Midnightnick]

Here's a major Upset for you.

Steph Smith victory by 1st Round TKO in 1:40

Loser? Jenny DeNeuve

[PoisonedSuperman]

Buddy Gardners first ever lose is to Maarten De Vries

[Undertaker666]

Here's a major Upset for you.

Steph Smith victory by 1st Round TKO in 1:40

Loser? Jenny DeNeuve

Steph Smith isn't a bad fighter, but she shouldn't be beating Jenny DeNeuve! :eek:

Buddy Gardners first ever lose is to Maarten De Vries

De Vries has powerful punches and kicks combined with great speed and strength. Don't have a stand up fight with him! ;)

[SadisticBlessings]

Hmm... in my most recent game Foster knocked Stanley out cold in the 2nd round, so it seems sometimes sanity prevails with him.

Thus far I haven't seen it, but figured I'd ask if anyone else has: anyone seen Fezzik's streak ended yet? In my games he's easily made Jeff Carlton, Gunnar Nilsson and Kunimichi Kikuchi look like amateurs by comparison. But a lucky KO punch from someone like Hiro Arai or Grzegorz Boniek isn't out of the question, is it?

Anything's possible.

[PoisonedSuperman]

Some guy who just debuted had a fight with the recently knocked out Raul Hughes and Hughes won by descision 29 to 28. Not really an upset but close I guess.

With his contract up after his next fight he's not going to get renewed. What is wrong with him?? Anyways the demo has ended.

Look at Hughes' Main Weaknesses on the Scout page. His fighting style is one dimensional and focuses on punching, any decent fighter that can take him down to the ground is pretty much going to take him to school.

[Trackersan]

Just went through the walkthrough (using the WEFF) and Lisa Labone take on Karen Curtis instead of Veronika Sablikova...and she won by a 29-28 margin!

Of course Labone wanted a better contract after the fight...what a great game!

[Jacko00]

Buddy Gardners first ever lose is to Maarten De Vries

Wow, i have not had Buddy Garner lose yet in my games.

[Goldenskillz]

Hassan Fezzik just got KO'ed in my first ALPHA-1 Main Event against Jeff Carlton. Hassan was controlling Jeff with ease and looked close to KO'ing him in both 3rd and 4th round then in 5th he got pushed back from a clinch, stumbled then two hits later he is out cold.

Not only is that his first ever lost its also the only offense i can remember Jeff getting in last 2 rounds of the fight. I love this game though i feel bad now Hassan won't retire undefeated.

[BlizzardVeers]

I know it doesn't count, but Fedor TKO'd Fezzik, and Big Nog Split Decisioned him. Mirko got beat up. Randy got split decisioned. Sylvia got destroyed on the ground. Arlovski KO'd him in 34 seconds. Brandon Vera got destroyed for 4 minutes and TKO'd. Frank Mir got decisioned. Heath Herring beat him for two rounds then got sloppy and got subbed. :\

Josh Barnett TKO'd him twice in the first couple minutes.

[Romdawg88]

I don't know how big of upsets they were but the biggest surprises to me were on my first card Alan Kendall one punched Jack Humphreys 17 seconds into the fight and Patrick Thomas TKOed Buddy Garner in the third round after getting schooled in the first two.

[The Bus]

Atep of Indonesia took the ALPHA-1 lightweight belt from Go Yamamoto! Early in the first round Atep scores a big high kick. He isn't even ranked! :D

Atep got to fight Yamamoto after getting a win from much experienced fighter and due to his charisma I put him in the title match in my tv debut. I thought it would make a good match and Atep gets experience and Yamamoto kets another notch to his belt. :D Well I'm quite happy with that outcome also...

[Dross]

Kikuchi defeated Fezzik in my first PPV, new Champ :eek:

[xvnukervx]

George Laurent KO'd Andrew Rush brutally on my first british card. Was rather brutal :p

[Sensai of Mattitude]

George Laurent KO'd Andrew Rush brutally on my first british card. Was rather brutal :p

Laurent won the title from Rush with a second round TKO in my game.

Same thing happened to me. Very suprised.

[Jaded]

Steph Smith is awesome, she beat Alison Beattie in a unanimous decision to win the Lightweight title in my game after ending Jenny DeNeuve's winning streak on the previous card.

[xvnukervx]

Patrick Thomas just stomped the dog crap out of Buddy Garner. 0:37 TKO in the 2nd round

[Rob4590]

Well for me, Lefter Oktay is rubbish - in my first game with GAMMA, he was outpointed by Steve Mason, then just now in another game, he was in control against big fat Frank (Sheedy) for 2 1/2 rounds and then got KO'd out of nowhere. :D

[duff88]

I edited the database to make Jesse Singh a beast; he had the looks so I thought he was perfect to give a 16-0 record and to face off against James Foster.

Singh was an amazing striker with excellent defense, but he was sometimes reckless and didn't plan properly. The scheduled match against Foster was considered massive and called a "dream match".

A bit less than a minute and a half in, Foster blocked a kick and KOed Singh with a single punch. A 5 star, 1:24 fight.

Tony McCall beating Raul Hughes by a leglock submission in 46 seconds is another surprise.

[falling_star]

Running my very first card with GAMMA, Neil Napier beat Marteen De Vries by TKO in 1:33 of the second round. The first round just barely went to Napier, and then he just exploded in round two with a brutal ground & pound.

Rick Stanley KO'd Tim Boyer. . . in nine seconds.

[Vladamire Dracos]

Biggest upset for me thus far has been Umeka Fujiwara going over Vickie Summers by Judges decision. Fujiwara just flew out of the gate and withered Summers with kicks for the first round and most of the second with Summers either just barely avoiding potentionally KOing strikes or covering up until the third round, when she managed to get Fujiwara down but couldn't get the armbar she was looking for locked in before the final bell. Umeka Fujiwara has became my Ladies Champion with a career fight history of 3-0 and I'm just floored.

[Dopefish]

Everyone of my champions lost in my game. hahaha. Funny. But thats how it goes sometimes.

[BlizzardVeers]

While testing more of the heavyweights, I put Pawel Nastula vs Kunimichi Kikuchi since in terms of story he's supposed to be the Nog of the Alpha-1 Promotion. #2.

...

Pawel subbed him in the 3rd with a guillotine. I was like, "o.O;" Then I looked at Kikuchi's scouting and suddenly it made more sense.

Steroids aside in his 4 fights, Nastula fought (and lost) against top 10 opposition 3 times and never got completely owned or embarassed. He is/was pretty damn good.

[BlizzardVeers]

I agree. :D

[Tommy J.]

I just had Heather MacLean decision Karen Curtis, who the scout reports make out to be almost unbeatable.

Also when Alpha-1 had their show Yeijiro Yamamoto (4-6) KTFO'd Fumiaki Hayashi (13-4 and the best MW in that company).

[meade95]

Rising Star Buddy Gardner having his ass handed to him by novice Alex Cole....Via UD...

[Nephrinn]

I just had Heather MacLean decision Karen Curtis, who the scout reports make out to be almost unbeatable.

Personally, I think Karen Curtis belongs in the LW division because fighters like Maclean, Lawson, and McCoy TOWER over her. I think she's a really good fighter, just not against giants. :)

[Jericho Rules]

I had Raul Hughes beat Lefter Oktay in the first round. Knocked him out cold with one punch, and Oktay was dominating the fight up until that point.

Oktay has also knocked out James Foster in less than a minute with a kick in the head.

[xvnukervx]

Hassan Fezzik vs Raul Hughes

Round 1
Fezzik throws the first punch of the round, a high searching jab that didn't carry a great deal of threat with it. Hughes throws a one-two combination in return, neither connecting, then steps in and delivers a hard kick to the outside of the thigh. Fezzik steps back, throwing a right hand as he does to buy himself space. They circle, then move in again to exchange strikes, neither fighter getting a clear advantage. They come together again and the same result. It has become something of a stalemate at the moment. They come together to exchange strikes for the third time, and this time they wind up in a clinch. Hughes hits a knee to the ribs. A couple of shots to the back from Fezzik. They struggle all the way back, with Fezzik ending up backed up against the ropes. Hughes hits another knee, but there wasn't much power behind it. Fezzik stomps downward onto his foot. Fezzik manages to reverse their positions, but that only lasts about thirty seconds before it gets reversed once more. Hughes gets an arm free and tries to throw a big shot to the cheek, Fezzik ducks under it and gets the arm back under control. The referee finally breaks them up, and we're back to where we started. Fezzik tries a high kick to start, but Hughes saw it coming and easily avoids it. They come back together in the center, and it's Hughes who gets the first sustained attack of the round, hitting two hard body shots and a jab that caught Fezzik on the nose. Fezzik hits a straight right, enough to stop Hughes from following up any further. The time expires with them standing. Not a great round for either of them or the crowd, it was very scrappy. The first round is over. Blurcat.com sees it 10-9 to Hughes.

Round 2
Hughes steps back, and Fezzik comes after him , sensing an opening. Hughes suddenly puts the brakes on and swings for the fences, driving a right hand to the chin. Fezzik couldn't get out of the way in time and takes it full force. He goes down like a puppet with his strings cut, he is out cold. Hughes goes to follow up to be sure, but the referee cuts him off, calling a halt to the match. Official time of the knock out is 0:37 of the second. Raul Hughes is still the GAMMA Heavyweight champion.


:eek: :eek: :eek:

[Lt. Lucrativo]

Wow. In my testing, Hughes has yet to win a match. (He's 0-6 at this point. In his best performance to date, he was beating up on Tony McCall for a round an a half until McCall slipped and went down. Hughes foolishly tried to follow him to the ground and was immediately reversed and submitted.) But for you he's KO-ing Fezzik. I guess no two game worlds are the same.

[Sensai of Mattitude]

While Maarten De Vries is badass, I was sort of surprised when, after being totally dominated by Buddy Garner in the first round (and almost being forced into a kimura), he hit a Roundhouse Kick and KOd Garner 16 seconds into the second.

[GrantC]

Steve Mason is currently making his way up my Heavyweight rankings his got big step up next against Tony McCall. Gygax also took Sean Morrison to a fifth round winning every round on the way but then getting armbarred in the 5th

[teakle]

Beau Gorshin beating Sean Morrison to take the GAMMA Leightweight title.

That one messed up a few plans. I guess I'll have to renew Gorshin's contract now, only so I can guarantee a re-match... :(

[shipshirt]

I am proud to announce that James Foster defeated Rick Stanley in a three round decision in a unanimous decision at GAMMA: Overkill.

[Cro_Cop45]

I had Go Yammamoto defend against Carlos de Guia, Go dominated him for the first two rounds only to get head kick KO'd less than a minute into round 3

[Jacko00]

Jack Humphreys lost a UD to Geoff Cahill and also just lost a UD to Simon Vine. Now he is out of the top 10.

[Squeeza19]

Charley Stiles beat Sean Morrison for the GAMMA lightweight.

Won by TKO 7 seconds into the first round. Was my main event and killed the show...

[dizzie]

biggest upsets i've seen that i can remember is raul hughes getting knocked out by shane gilchrist and kevin portman subbing stafford alois 2 minutes into the first.

[GrantC]

biggest upsets i've seen that i can remember is raul hughes getting knocked out by shane gilchrist and kevin portman subbing stafford alois 2 minutes into the first.

His been getting knocked out by everyone in my GMMA game. Going to feed him Dom Norman see if he can finally get a win.

[The Bus]

This isn't a real upset but i'll post it anyways. Jonathan Huang dominated Edson Edmilson for the whole match, just to get submitted with a triangle, after knocking down Edmilson with a punch, 8.14 into the third and final round.

[Doe-Bomb]

Marko Prochazka beat Go Yamamoto by T.K.O in 4:52 of Round 1 to win the ALPHA-1 Lightweight title

Gina Dixon beat Sarah Vaughan by T.K.O in 2:50 of Round 3 (Dixon dominated the whole fight)

Thats my two biggest shocks!

[Dead_Jester]

Aleksei Chekhov knocking out Zvonimir Asanovic 32 seconds into round 2 to capture the GAMMA Light-Heavyweight Title.

Just had Jack Humphreys dominate for 2 rounds before going knocked out cold at 3:31 in the 3rd round by Darin Blood.

[Chaoricus]

Shane Gilchrist knocked out Hassak Fezzik - 3:16 of round 1!

Gilchrist beat Gunnar Nilsson in his first match, then in his second match he beat Kunimichi Kikuchi and now Hassan Fezzik!

Hiro Arai is on a winning streak, so he's going to be the first to challenge Gilchrist!

[BuddyGarner]

A welterweight Matthew Dean beat Julio Rodregio in a non-title fight.

I'm always surprised when the GAMMA Light Heavyweight champion wins because in the demo, he'd always get knocked in less than 30 seconds by Mike Watson.

In my full version game, I moved Mike Watson down to middleweight and now Zydbodm whatsisname is winning fights.

And my other biggest upset is that Elgar beat Anthony Letasseur. Elgar couldn't beat anybody. I love the guy though.

And the other big one was that Jamie Hewitt beat Lukas Mellberg.

[dubb93]

:sigh: Where do I start....

JJ Reid takes the Light Heavyweight Title from Zvonimir Asanovic by T.K.O. at 0:34 of rd. 5

Dan Halvorsen takes the Middleweight championship from Matthew Dean by unanimous decision (50-44)x3!!!!!

Stratos Papaioannou knocks out Lefter Oktay in the 2nd round

Mario de Souza knocks out Callum Henson, which was an upset in my game as Henson was 4-0 in GAMMA and de Souza had lost his last fight to a can.

Stafford Alois wins a unanimous decison over James Foster by 30-27 on everyones card, drops Foster twice with punches

Greg Atteveld T.K.O.'s Maarten De Vries in under two minutes

Rob Baines takes a 30-27 easy decision coasting to a win over Anthony LeToussier

Hasn't been easy to book this particular game yet.

[KHauser]

Umeka Fujiwara was dominating my Lightweight Division in WEFF. She was 7-0 when she beat April Lawson for the Belt. Then Immediatly got hurt. I Vacated the Belt and moved her up to Heavyweight where she is 3-1.

[crownsy]

the trick is to check scouting reports to see who matches up, at least 3 of those matches, the dog in the match is good at defending the faviortes way to win. Foster is a ground and pound guy, but his weakness is big punchers, which is what alois has going for him, and alois is good at stopping takedowns. not a fight that plays to fosters strengths.

Actually I made the fight to give Foster a win based on the fact that the scouting report I'm seeing says Alois is noted to have poor takedown defense as well as poor ground defense. My thinking was Foster would take him down and pound him. Did not happen.

Atteveld and De Vries never got the ground either, which is what one would think would be how Atteveld could win that one. Atteveld flat out TKO'ed him standing.

And Rob Baines vs. Anthony LeToussier was a fight featuring Baines with no standup against LeToussier's great standup. LeToussier's great takedown defense against Baines mediocre takedowns. Hard to predict that fight being on the ground the entire time, even harder to predict that LeToussier would be the one that took Baines down in the 1st, only to get reversed and controlled the rest of the round. The rest of the fight played out similar.

[SadisticBlessings]

In my "official" game Hiro Arai just jumped to #1 in the pound-for-pound polls by knocking out Hassan Fezzik early in the second round of a Massive hype match. I was shocked - in my many pre-release games Fezzik was untouchable. This pretty much changes all of my booking plans, but also allows for some very interesting new matches. Kikuchi vs Arai will probably be the next big title match, so I'm quite glad I held off on putting the two together sooner!

Another strange occurrence: Gempachi Higa, who begins the game as a Light Heavyweight, moved down to Middleweight about a week into the game of his own volition. At first I was pissed; I liked the LHW division just fine, thank you very much! After a rough loss to Haranobu Oshiro, though, he really began to come around. After a couple of wins I gave him what I thought was a throwaway shot at the Interim Middleweight Title, held by Juro Fukazawa (who was awarded the title immediately after Bixente Fontaine was injured). They put on a 4-star performance (the best the division has ever produced), and after 8 minutes Higa put him down with an overhand right, and that was all she wrote. It was insane - Fukazawa loses the title on his first defense, and suddenly the next six months look very interesting indeed for the division.

Now Higa's popularity is ranked as 'Fantastic' in Japan, and I'm expecting his unification match with the now-healthy Fontaine to finally put the Middleweights on the map. I'm looking forward to seeing whether or not he pulls it off, because watching him get to this point has been very entertaining indeed.

[Midnightnick]

Upsets? That describes Steve Mason in my Offical GAMMA Game. He destroyed Oktay in Round 1, with 30 seconds in.

[jamie1989]

I've had a few so far, but the biggest upset was more of a complete balls up of one fighters career.

James Foster I was building up to a huge fight between him and Oktay, so I put him against the 11-6 Wrestler (Fisher or something I think) and he got caned and TKO'd, then I let him fight Oktay anyway (Massive rating :)) and he loses. The I put him up against two big cans and he just loses.

Sucks to be JF :p

[DantesWitness]

I like to hire Francis O'Leary as a can to build up the confidence of other fighters. I know he's not the worst fighter in the game by a stretch, but when the only nice thing the scouting report can say about a guy is "decent consistency", I'm expecting my up-and-comers to roll over him. In my latest game, O'Leary has managed to TKO Jamie Hewitt and Truck Gleeson in his first two fights with me. When he knocked out Hewitt in the first round, I laughed and chalked it up to being a fluke, but when he followed it up with the Gleeson win, I got scared. Now O'Leary's bragging about being on a winning streak instead of talking retirement and wants me to match him up with stiffer competition. I'm afraid of putting anyone good in the cage with him lest he screw up more of my plans. Now I might have to feed him cans :eek:

[Sensai of Mattitude]

I was somewhat surprised when I fed Charles Stiles (9-2-1) a can in Juan Pablo Rique (4-6), and after 2 minutes of total domination from Stiles, Stiles took Rique to the floor with a Suplex but was caught in Rique's guard and put into a Guillotine for a tapout loss.

[Monkeypox]

Veronika Sablikova is murdering everyone in my game, after a really crap start that involved losing to Karen Curtis (understandable), Leslie Myers (less understandable) and Hope Lehane (wtf?) all in a row, she's absolutely dominated (KO or TKO'd) Hester Maclean, Chelsea Lawson, three cans and her huge rematch against Karen Curtis to dominate the heavyweight title for over a year now. I can't find anyone good enough at avoiding takedowns to get rid of her, and she's pretty much unable to crack the two-star ceiling on her matches, regardless of hype.

Crossing my fingers on Haley Croft...

Oh, and she was female wrester of the year in 1997 after going 6-0.

[edisraw]

The first card I ran saw, Phil Ball knock out Matt Dean with a knee to the face, and Ian Linderman get a TKO victory over Sean Morrison, those are both pretty big upsets in my eyes.

[edisraw]

Less then a month later Linderman lost to giovani silva, in less then a minute and the write up would have you believe Linderman started the first 45 seconds of the round just running away, until Silva caught up to him and elbowed him in the face.

[DownNDirty]

I have been running my GAMMA promotion since the game starts in mid 96 and am now up to April of 99.

In Alpha-1 Feezik beats Jeff Carlton via KO, Stratos via KO, Hiro Arai via KO, and Carter Potter via submission. Then he finally loses by TKO to Grzegorz Boniek in February of 98. He has yet to fight again but hasn't retired either - guess he's just taking that loss "real" hard. Since that fight Boniek has only defended one time - in October of 98 successfully against Gunnar Nilsson via decision.

In my GAMMA promotion I've had a few upsets of note - at least to me:

My Heavyweight division is just one surprise after another in the title match picture. Raul Hughes beats Foster in June of 96. He makes one defense and then loses the title to Tony McCall in September of 96. McCall loses in his first defense in January of 97 to Tim Boyer. Boyer makes one defense and loses to Foster in October of 97. Foster makes 2 defenses and now has lost the title to Lefter Oktay who is the current champ with one defense. It seems like all of my Heavyweight Champions can't hold the title long at all....

In my Light Heavyweight class I had Asanovic plow through everyone with 5 successful defenses and fighter of the year 96 to lose to Mike Watson June of 97. No real surprise title switches here though

In Middleweight I did have Stuart Strange upset De Vries for the title in September of 97 only to get obliterated his next match (not surprisingly) by Buddy Garner who won his first Middleweight Title.

In my Lightweight class I had decided to let Sean Morrison have one more defense before I moved him up to Welterweight. He had successfully defended the belt 12 times and no one had came close to beating him - mostly he had first or second round KO's for his wins. I give Marcus Speed a title match as he had won 3 in a row and he KO's Morrison in the 1st round. Then I put Morrison in the Welterweight class and try to give him a "decent" match first time out with Randy Carsley who TKO's him in round 1. Dang you Morrison - I had SUCH big plans for your Welterweight Title run.

[Zelkius]

Fezzik lost to Frank Sheedy. Knocked out in the first round.

[Thriller]

Mal Phe Roby beat Sukarno. :eek:

[MartyC]

Gunnar Nillson knocking Fezzik out, in about 30 seconds was my biggest upset so far.

And Jay Dorridge is atm at 9-0 and the Nr. 6 Lighweight in the world. Which is somewhat unexpected

[Sensai of Mattitude]

In the debut of Harvey Phillips, he stepped ino the ring with Eddie Whelan in what looked like a squash for Whelan. After two rounds of domination, it looked as if Whelan had the match won, but Phillips made his mark, forcing the referee to stop the fight after concussing Whelan.

[Tommy J.]

I had Carlton beat Fezzik in their first fights in two different games now. He actually TKO'd him once.

[Jacko00]

Ricardo Fernandes KO'd Julio Regueiro!!! His first loss ever. Also just now Nicholas Bretton beat Sean Morrison by UD!!

[BrokenCycle]

Malcolm O' Hearn vs Sean Morrison was rated as a High in interest, so I just decided to put it on the show for filler. O' Hearn had just come off a defeat, so I decided to not make it a title fight. He beat Morrison pretty badly. It was 30-27 from all the judges.

Good thing it wasn't a title fight...

Also, I've had Raul Hughes go down in his first title defense to McCall. Then McCall loses it to Oktay in his first title defense. Then Oktay loses it to Boyer in his first title defense. Now I'm booking Foster vs Boyer, and I'm thinking it could go either way.

Similar thing happened in my GAMMA game. Foster won it from Raul Hughes, and lost on his first title defense to Tim Boyer, who had his first title defense against Steve Mason. Mason was on a pretty bad losing streak, and Boyer had beaten him nearly two years before, so I figured he'd be a pretty good guy to give Boyer's reign a certain defense while still getting a reasonably successful main out of it. As you'd probably guess at this point, Mason won.

Mike Watson is a monster. He is 17-0 in my game including a 5* title defense against Asanovic.

Anyway, It seems Morrison is not psycologically prepared for a defeat. Every time he losses a match, he losses at least 3 more in a row. In my game, after he lost the title to Ricardo Fernandes, he lost 3 more matches including one to Jamie Hewitt(who was 3-7 at the moment).

Another upset was Silvio Scirea beating Lefter Oktay. Thankfully, Oktay was not the champ and then went on to tear Silvio in a rematch.

I guess it's not really an upset, but Ripper Rivero took the belt off LeToussier in what I wanted to be the first of LeToussier's many defences. Then I tried really hard to get the belt off of him by giving him Asanovic, Laurent, and Watson, and he knocked them all out. So I've given up on taking the strap from him; just give him the fight against whoever's hot, and he kills them.

Oscar Gomez beat Nicolai Mickiewicz tko rd1 1:52

This was supposed to be a gimmie match for Nicolai as he had lost to Shane Gilchrist and wanted to give him some momentum.


and in a diferent game
Tomohiko Inokuma beat Mathew Dean cut rd1 :39 won the Gamma MiddleWeight Title
not bad for a first fight:D
he is the regeneration of the Japanese fighter who usually retires 1-2 weeks into the game

[BuddyGarner]

I've had so many upsets, they're not worth mentioning anymore.

Everybody who seemed to be "that guy" who tears through everybody has fallen. Kimie Igrashi, Katie-Jayne Paulson, Datuk Ong Ta King, Alexander Ivanov, Eiko whatshername, Bill Brown, Mike Watson, Uwe Maier, and Rav Kapur.

But then you have guys like Sean Morrison, Julio Reguerio, Martin DeVries, James Foster, and Tim Boyer who keep having glimpses of greatness fall back down and then rise to the top again.

The only sure thing in my game is Carlos De Guia but he's being fed cans by the AI in Alpha-1 and he's still lost once. Only person in the game with 750K/750K 10match 40months contract though.

[BlizzardVeers]

Don Frye just KO'd Fedor in 0:53 of Round 1. o.O;

[Pampero Firpo]

In my first card as GAMMA I thought I would build up Mike Watson by feeding him "Tomato Can" Jethro Munter.... and Munter TKOed him in the 1st. Later in the card Duane Weatherly TKOed Charles Stiles in the 1st.

[BIGJOSH]

Nicholas Bretton beat Sean Morrisson by decision in three rounds

Not as big of an upset, but Harry Milne defeated James Foster.

[cainekass]

Rav Kapur has been on a tear on my game. He KOed James Foster & Leftar Oktay in the 2nd round (Won the GAMMA Hvywt title), and KO'ed Stafford Alois in the 1st round @ 45 seconds.

Lukas Mellberg had gone 16-0 and won the Welterweight title and was a beast on a rolling contract. Then I put him on a big money Premier contract....and of course he gets KO'ed in the first round by Julio Reguireo and drops the title!

[Franchise22]

boyer beat foster with first round TKO for heavyweight title

carl racliffe beat amaro for title in third rd tko.....

Rav Kapur has been on a tear on my game. He KOed James Foster & Leftar Oktay in the 2nd round (Won the GAMMA Hvywt title), and KO'ed Stafford Alois in the 1st round @ 45 seconds.

lukas mellberg was also 16-0 in my game won the title and then lost it and is now 16-4

[TEWFan]

In my new GAMMA game, Jethro Munter seems to be that can that alwways ruins a good thing. He is something like 4-12, but those four wins have been major upsets of big stars. I even fancied feeding him another can to see if I could make something off him, but he seems to be the kind of guy who gets knocked out by cans, but beats the big boys.

[cainekass]

lukas mellberg was also 16-0 in my game won the title and then lost it and is now 16-4

Lukas has lost 2 in a row after dropping to Alan Kendall who has been inconsistent. . I've yet to find anyone to beat Sean Morrison in my game.

I set up a Zvonimir Asanovic/Jerry Bogdonovich in what was suppose to be a tune-up fight before Zvonimir got a title rematch against Anthony LeToussier but Bogdonovich knocked him out in the third. Luckily for me, Zvonimir rebounded with wins over Rob Baines and J.J Reid before beating LeToussier by 5th round TKO in a 5 star epic.

Mike Watson dropped a UD to Bryan Van Den Hauwe in his second fight for me. He's since rebounded with 5 straight wins topped off with a big win over Leon Banks earning him the next shot at Zvonimir.

Leon Banks got his head taken off by Percy Catcher in the 1st round during his GAMMA debut. Catcher has turned in to a damn good fighter for me.

Sean Morrison has kept failing in his big fights during my game. He got TKOed in the first by Giovani Silva in his first fight in my game and then got subbed in the 5th by De Souza in the 5th round of De Souza first title defense. Mario De Souza has been the only LW champion to successfully defend the title.

Not really upsets but Raul Hughes has been a complete monster in my game beating Oktay, Fatuma Roy, James Foster, Tim Boyer, and Stafford Alois with only Boyer getting past the second. Boyer saw the final bell but also lost every round of the fight.
