Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bernard Hopkins vs. Kelly Pavlik
as this appear to meet  (If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article or stand-alone list.)  As article states was Ring Magazine Upset of the Year in 2008, as well as Upset of the Year from Sports Illustrated (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/multimedia/photo_gallery/0812/boxing.awards/content.6.html).  Clearly Ring Magazine and Sports Illustrated are reliable and independent sources and coverage of the year-end awards is typically significant.  In addition, after the fight occurred many articles were written that goes above routine coverage.  For example, the NY Times covered the fight (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/19/sports/othersports/19boxing.html) and ESPN profiled the fight in the Fight Credential - something they only do in major fights, about 3 fights a year (http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/fightcred/index?page=pavlik_hopkins).  Also, the facts of this fight stand out for the fight being notable: undisputed lineal middleweight champion fighting the former undisputed middleweight champion at the new weight class of the former champion on HBO PPV.  To me, this is a keep, but tags should be placed on the article for it to be improved
