What has been your personal favourite this year? I would say mine was Manny Pacquaio Vs Juan Manual Marquez, that was explosive from start to finish. :D

yeah, pac and JMM by far.

this year or season Wez?


If year then yip its a pretty much Pacman / Marquez if season I would go with Alex Arthur /Gomez domestically closley followed by Brett James / Chas Syomonds for the southern area title at the york hall (wasnt televised).

I was meaning this year, the Michael Gomez-Alex Arthur fight was a shock to say the least.

ok then internationally that one (pacman marquez), then domestic - thompson haye was pretty good last week, then symonds james!!!!

Pacquaio - Marquez IS the fight of the year-to-date.

Pacquaio vs Juan Manuel Marquez
De la hoya vs Hopkins


Juan lost my respect after saturday though.

Yeah the Haye-Thompson was cool, that will take some beating. :D Somehow i doubt Hatton-Stewart will top that.

Pacquaio vs Juan Manuel Marquez
De la hoya vs Hopkins


Juan lost my respect after saturday though.

Juan was very cautious in my opinion, he didn't take alot of risks. What made you lose respect for him?

no mate probably not, though stweart has the style to make an exciting fight even if the outcome isnt in doubt.

Marquez did what hopkins did against allen boxed within himslef and made sure.

he is 31 gets harder to be a rampaging bull in every fight as you get older.

having said that it bored the arse off me :D

I agree, Stewart will make a fight of it but the outcome is pretty clear. That Marquez fight bored me too although I was shocked with the few quick finishes to the earlier fights. I was shocked how fast the Mexican got KO’d (I cannot remember his name but it was a nice KO)

RUBIO, THAT WAS ALEXANDER TAKALOO ALL OVER AGAIN MATE WASNT IT!!! :D

great punch.

RUBIO, THAT WAS ALEXANDER TAKALOO ALL OVER AGAIN MATE WASNT IT!!! :D

great punch.

:D Yeah thats the guy, that happened faster than expected.

38 secs, thank god it wasnt the main event :D

38 secs, thank god it wasnt the main event :D

:D Yeah thats true, i fell asleep in the Marquez fight but as soon as the Bernard-Oscar fight came on at about 4:30 i felt wide awake again. I hate the stupid time difference but it's worth watching fights like that live.

i was going too but Id been at the cricket and had my folks over so taped it, got up at 7.30 sunday I couldnt wait any longer!!!

I guess, I was out of line when I said I lost respect for him, but he boxed to carefully IMO and if salido brought the pace up he may have stole some rounds....No doubt JMM beat him convincingly but it just wasnt the vintage marquez, I am so use to seeing...After watchign his triumphant fight against pacquaio I was hoping for a demolition of salido....

werent we all mate, anything to save is from that snorefest, but I can understand why, he has got big paydays coming up, last thing he wants to do is jeopardize those by getting too involved and getitng caught cold.

but i do totally concur, dull as dishwater that fight.

That was the calm before the storm, i don't doubt we will see Marquez at his best for the Pacquaio rematch

I don't blame you for taping it, i stopped up because i knew that if i didn't see it live i would find out the result before i saw it and i didn't want that to happen. We get Roy Jones next weekend although it's not live but i don't care anyway, it doesn't interest me too much this fight.

Fight of the Year : It's got to be Pacquiao-Marquez.

Upset of the Year : Tarver over Jones Jr.

Fighter of the Year : Chicco Corrales

disagree with upset of the year.

signs were there for all to see in the first fight, the way it happened was an upset of course, think Thompson haye was the upset of the year for me, but I called tarver to beat jones and williams tyson so I cant have those as upsets.

each to their own of course bro :cool:

definetly my favorite fight this year is the Pacquiao-Marquez fight, and eagerly waiting for Barerra-Morales III and PacMans fight this Dec.....

I finally got around to watching the Tito-Mayorga fight.

Just awesome! That was my favorite.

My favorites were JMM/Pac and Cotto/Pinto. Watching Miguel TKO Pinto inside of 7 (like I predicted) just reassured me that much more that he'll be the next big thing in boxing.

Pac and JMM was crazy from the opening bell. I can't wait for a rematch.

Its a shame more folks did not see Pemberton Sheika. That was my favorite.

I like three sensational fights . . .

PAC/JMM
TRINIDAD/MAYORGA
COTTO/PINTO

All the fights you mentioned are very good fights
You can add the ff:

Hopkins-DLH
Corrales-Freitas

#1 Bernard Hopkins vs. De La Hoya :cool:

to be honest it vas vitali-sanders..

vitali sanders was exciting but techinically very poor.

certainly not the fight of the year in my book. Its hard for me to say as we get so few televised over here, we didnt see Chico vs Freitas and we didnt see Tito agianst Mayorga, I mean eff me, you have to know NOTHING about boxing to miss those off your schedule right, two gaurenteed barnstormers. But thats BBC / Sky for ya.
Die to this its hard for me to quantify what is the best fight, the best Ive SEEN this year. for all rounds excitement, techinical ability and allround quality was Marquez vs Pacman.

Had anyone metioned Juan Diaz over Lavka Sim yet? Probably not quite fight of the year quality but still a great match. With all the talk about Cotto and Lacy lately people seem to be forgetting that Diaz put on a good show as well against a tough competitor.

Overall, with the Cintron fight on the same card, that might be the best all-around event I've seen this year. The undercards on Hopkins-DLH were terrible and Judah made quick work of Martrell on the Trinidad-Mayorga card.

I still think Trinidad-Mayorga is my fight of the year (with Pacquiano-JMM a close second).

vitali - sanders had its qualities..

a clash of unique styles and bodies. it had some hi-tech attributes too..

......like ?

erm are you serious? it was a slugfest, not techinical in the slightest, Vitali was reticent and lumbering and just waited for Sanders to blow out. Sanders looked like he had trained on a golf course and was a stone to 18 pounds over weight. It was quite exciting though. ;)


without being rude, if thats your idea of high technical ability sorry but you should be watching sumo. :eek: :D

right..

in the way they had prepared for each other, the feigning games..

it was impressive, including sanders chin, and he still finished his combinations..

it was the thriller of ages..

a boxer and ferrocious slugger in a cage.

you must have found it entertaining?

yeah i can see everyone is keen to compare it to the thilla in manilla , ****inell, stop wasting my time.

..its ****in' hell. you should know this..

Hopkins vs. De la hoya is the best fight so far this year.

You're kidding, right ?

You're kidding, right ?

sure he is, look at his name..

..its ****in' hell. you should know this..


why do you insitst on fololwing me around you tiresome little person. it doesnt bother me all i shall do is log off and come back when school is back and you are back in class.

thats 3-4 threads this little troll has followed me around on making pathetic comments.


talk boxing sunshine or go away, you really bother me not one jot.

rest of you guys hang easy, talk soon :cool:

hey, come back here! i am a misunderstood genious. you hear?! Genious!!

Close tie for me

1. Pacman vs JMM
2. Tito vs Mayorga

Sanders/Vitali fight did keep me on the edge though...I thought Sanders was going to get lucky.

yeah. and say hi to bertha too..

Close tie for me

1. Pacman vs JMM
2. Tito vs Mayorga

Sanders/Vitali fight did keep me on the edge though...I thought Sanders was going to get lucky.

i say JMM vs Pac was def the best most competitive fight
but only becuz of the three knockdowns
that showed there was immenent danger

with tito-mayo i didnt think mayo could hurt him, taken away his only chance
as that fight progressed i only felt reasured that mayo could hurt him
so i didnt see that one as too competitive, ya mayo was able to take some of titos shots but he didnt do much

same with Sanders-vit
sanders only chance was of landing that lucky left
it was obvious vit worked on not getting caught by it
even when he landed it
Vit took it or knew how to survive
so i didnt see this as too competitive either

both were just a matter of time before sanders or Mayo had enough

I am nominating Pacman vs, JMM for "Fight of the Year".

Hopkins vs. De la hoya is the best fight so far this year.


Well you are entittled to your own opinion :D just a question though . . . . have you seen the Mayorga/Trinidad or the other fights that these posters were talking aBOUT?

I'm just curious how you came up with that opinion. :cool:

Trinidad Mayorga & Tszyu Mitchell.

Marquez vs. Pacquiao
Trinidad vs. Mayorga
Sturm vs. De La Hoya

Trinidad-Mayorga
Marquez vs. Pacquiao
....
Morales-Barrera II ;)

Non one has mentioned Jose Luis Castillo vs. Juan Lazcano?

Quite possibly the brutalist fight of the year. It in my mind easily beats the Tito/Mayo fight and is certainly comparable to JMM/PAC. I love watching this fight, it was the two best lightweights in world and they killed each other for 12 rounds. Lazcano has the heart of....I don't know but a heart of something really good, he looked like he was ready to be put 6 feet under afterwards.

Great fight that is being overlooked for sure!

yea, paqman v. jmm or trinidad v. mayorga

i liked pac vs JMM, but wat about mayorga vs trinidiad, that was a dam good fight to. i also liked sanders - Vitali, round 3 was the best.

What do you think of John Ruiz vs. Fres Oquendo?

Yeah, we can't forget about Vitali-Sanders, that was a great fight to watch. Corrie was abit slow though as Manny, the left hand was always there and kept the suspense high. Fight of Year without a doubt, Manny vs JMM. Runner up for me would be Vitali-Sanders. Exciting maybe Mayorga-Tito 1st rd. 2nd rd, to the 8th, wasn't too exciting watching 1 man get the crap beat out of him...

Chico vs. Popo. That was a very intense fight that had a surprise ending, even though Freitas was giving in to the inevitable.

Great fight indeed. Forgot that one. Coming into the fight, Juan Lazcano was looking very good and he and Goosen were saying this and that towards JLC. Well, JLCastillo just beat him up.

Juan Diaz-Lakva Sim was entertaining as well. Though it looked that Juan is getting the better of Lakva, but man, that Mongolian is a one tough mutha!

But for sheer excitement, thrill (anticipation of another sudden KD from the PacMan) it's gotta be Marquez-Pacquiao. Both men were trying to bully each other, neither one giving the other the chance to dominate/dictate.

pacman vs jmm :D

Pacquaio - Marquez hands down the best fight so far this year.

What?? No votes for Golota/Ruiz? I'm shocked!

I actually have not yet seen Pacquiao/Marquez (I know I missed out on a good one) but from what I've seen I'd have to say Trinidad/Mayorga.

i liked mayweather/corley, it was kind of lopsided but still entertaining. i also liked tito/mayorga

Hopkins vs DLH

if the KO wouldnt of come it would of just kept being hard rounds to score :eek:

Pacman versus JMM for me also. Regardless of the scorecards and that one judge's mistake, I thought that Marquez boxed Pacman's ears off once he cleared his head.

Yeah PAC-JMM is still the leading contender for FOY honors followed by Trinidad-Mayorga, JMM countered magnificently but no way that he boxed Pac's ears off, its was as close a fight can be....

I'm still eagerly waiting for the upcoming superfights like MAB-EM III...

Pacquaio vs Juan Manuel Marquez

What has been your personal favourite this year? I would say mine was Manny Pacquaio Vs Juan Manual Marquez, that was explosive from start to finish. :D

Marquez vs. Pacquaio's probably the fight of the year.

MY FAVORITE was Tarver-Jones II (got any excuses tonight, Roy?) and Lacy-Vanderpool. I also liked seeing Matt Vanda KO'd

Vitaly-Sanders

JMM vs PAC for fight of the year 2004

I thought that JMM-PacMan was very good, and I also thought that Byrd-McCline was very good as well.

[QUOTE=spinksjinx]Pacquaio vs Juan Manuel Marquez
De la hoya vs Hopkins
are u ****in kidding i fell asleep during that fight a weak punch took oscar down.

i liked mayweather/corley, it was kind of lopsided but still entertaining. i also liked tito/mayorga

Mayweather/Corley? :D Right it's lopsided . . . . Corley just faded away after the fourth and hang in there until the last bell . . . no even worth of being a candidate for the fight of the year.

Regardless of the scoring error, I really enjoyed the Pacquiao v. JMM match
