Has Ring Magazine chosen their fight of the year yet?

think it was MAB/morales 3

I dont know, I havnt heard any confirmation that Ring Mag has made its selection. By the way I dont think Morales/Barrera 3 should be fight of the year, Morales wasnt himself that fight and it was never really close. Call me crazy but my fight of the year was Mesi v Jirov, anyone remember that one!

JMM vs Pacquaio

Easilly my Fight of of the year vote.

Barrera/Morales III was amazing, i dont care what anyone says. JMM/Pacman was a classic as well. No way Mesi/Jirov was fight of the year. It was very entertaining, but it was not fight of the year.

What about Trinidad vs. Mayorga?


It was a one sided fight, Mayorga stood no chance and showed that. Trinidad completely took everything away from Mayorga. Im looking for competition in a fight of the year candidate.

Casamayor vs. Corrales (exciting)
Trinidad vs. Mayorga (powerful)
Ruiz vs. Golota (crazy, Circus, I was waiting for the fan man,
to drop from the sky)

To me Trinidad v Mayorga and Morales v Barrera were one sided fights. Trinidad and Barrera won and it wasnt close. Jirov V Mesi was a complete brawl where Jirov almost pulled off an amazing comeback. If Pacman v JMM won though that wouldnt bother me.

Trinidad vs Mayorga in my book.

trinida and mayoga

JMM vs Pacquaio

Easilly my Fight of of the year vote.

How can it be the fight of the year when it was a horrible performance on the part of both men involved? Pacquiao did nothing outside of round 1, and in round 1 Marquez got put on his ass THREE TIMES! Horrible effort by both men

To me Trinidad v Mayorga and Morales v Barrera were one sided fights.
I'd vote for MAB-Morales III, because it is exactly what the fight game is all about (or, should be). No glamourous KO, no one-sided decision, just two very skilled and hearty fighters mixing it up for 12 full rounds.

Never heard it said that MAB-Morales II was one-sided, until this post. I saw it very differently, alot like the judges actually. Partly why it gets my vote for Fight of The Year 2004.

barerra / morales
pac / marquez
tito / mayorga

Lacy/Sheika
Trinidad/Mayorga
Pacquiao/Marquez
Barrera/Morales3
No particular order.

Lacy/Sheika
Trinidad/Mayorga
Pacquiao/Marquez
Barrera/Morales3
This an impressive list, but the misfit is Trinidad-Mayorga, which simply was a mismatch. It was treat for Trinidad fans to watch their guy against an opponent that literally stood in front of him all night long. Truly, that match-up could never be considered as Fight of The Year, unless you like watching one guy totally out-class another and then beat him down? Trinidad was expected to win that fight, despite all the hype around the long layoff. Mayorga was dangerous early, and he always is, but there was no way a conditioned Trinidad was going to lose that fight.

To get floored 3 times in the first round and outbox your opponent for the next 11 rounds is not what i would call a horrible effort.

i have the magazine

Fight of the year: Morales-Barrera III (i was at the fight!)
fighter of the year: Glen Johnson
Best Comeback of the year: Marco Antonio Barrera
Upset of the year: Jones vs Johnson (i think)
KO of the year: Tarver-Jones

Pemperton vs Shieka 2 was also a great fight, both guys get dropped and round 6 was crazy.

Edourd/Gibbs and Pemberton/Sheika were great...

it has not been mentioned and probably was not the fight of the year but in my mind it was the most brutal fight of the year which was JL Castillo v. Juan Lazcano...Lazcano has not fought since and may never be the same.

That is easily the fight of the year
JMM down 3 times inthe first round,
comes back, alltougth i think he should have gotten the win.
and the Draw just took something of it.

I never saw the Willie Gibbs fight, anyone know where I can get it?
