that was an upset but the 90 version of macho wasn't the 82 version of macho. It was all bound to catch up to him sooner or later, he had a couple close decisions before that (Roque Montoya,Irleis Perez,Rosario) and it didn't seem to faze him that much in terms of focussing more. He was a prideful man though, the main image from the second haugen fight that sticks in my mind is the one of him leaving the ring before the decision was announced because he assumed he lost. Haugen was a good fighter though, the kind of fighter that could give a talented guy like Hector hell on a good night. Pazienza said something that has a lot of truth to it "he fought his last good fight against me". Even though he wasn't trying to hurt Paz, he didn't just run, landed lots of shots and to me, most impressively, kept his composure throughout with a guy determined to make him lose his cool. With Haugen he didn't have that same focus.At the time a significant upset was Greg Haugen beatting undefeated Camacho for the WBO Light Welterweight title.
