I would also add outside of wrestling history as famous Philadelphia upsets - the 2017 Philadelphia Eagles vs Patriots and the George Washington-led Continental Army vs the English

Steveson losing just reminds me more of Caldwell over Metcalf than Owings over Gable. Caldwell was also unbeaten that year and not taken seriously. People just get caught in the moment too much of whatever happened today is the biggest event ever. Look at Hendrickson’s scores vs Gables scores against the top 10 type guys. Very comparable, nobody should be shocked that it was super close.

 

I still put Owings over Gable tops

Hendrickson over Gable 2 and then Caldwell over Metcalf 3
