Two Upsets Heard Around the World

If there’s two things any avid sports fan can tell you with certainty, it’s that in sports you should always expect the unexpected and that a little faith can go a long way.

Which is why you are guaranteed to see two upsets this week, the U.S. will end El Tri’s reign in CONCACAF this Tuesday and the fiery “Canelo” Alvarez will set Mayweather’s kingdom ablaze on Saturday.

It was impossible to expect that with an 88% chance of qualifying Mexico is now stumbling for a third place spot in the standings. It was also unexpected that the U.S. is now almost guaranteed a spot in the World Cup after an early loss to Jamaica. Expect a gritty match with the outcome being U.S. 2 - Mexico 0 .

Mayweather Jr. is a great fighter no doubt, but not even the best athletes fare well against father time. Whereas Mayweather is approaching the end of a career, Canelo is only just hitting his peak. Floyd “Money” Mayweather Jr.  has the numbers behind him, Saul “Canelo”Alvarez has the faith of an entire nation with him. Look for Saul “Canelo” Alvarez knocking out Floyd “Money” Mayweather Jr. in the tenth round.

There’s one more thing every sport fan can agree on, it’s gonna’ be one heck of a week.
