What has been the fight of the year through Saturday night so far? Vote and give a couple sentences as to why you chose that fight. I'll add mine later. I've got it narrowed down to 2-3 in my mind. There's still a couple big cards coming up, but the fight of the year very well may have already happened.
I'd say Pacquiao-Marquez was the best so far.
Trinidad-Mayorga was exciting in the 1st 2 rounds, after that it's been predicatable, moreso in the middle rounds wherein Mayorga was throwing less and taking more punishment. No, not Corrales-Freitas, one fighter decided to just quit.
You hit it right on the button my friend. How the hell can
one do a "No Mas" ! That's a mortal sin ! I still got in my head the picture of Duran saying those famous lines when I was still a kid.....

Fight od the year= Marquez-Pac
Beating of the year=Trinadad-Mayorga
I agree with you on the fight of the year. However, as sad as it makes me...I have to give "beating of the year" to pacquiao vs. MAB. That was terrible! :( (NOT that Tito didnt do a fine job of whipping that thug's ass, for he did!!! :D )
It'll be interesting if at the end of the year those are still the only 2 fights getting that much consideration or if Mitchell/Tszyu or Morales/Barrera III steal some votes.
Very good point; this all may be premature ;)
It was between JMM-Pac and Tito-Mayorga.Both fights had knockdowns and back and forth action,but Tito-Mayorga ended with a spectacular KO.I'd call it a draw,lol

out of 59 votes we have a tie for PacMan-Dinamina & Trinidad-Mayorga, I hope the actual HBO Poll for fight of the year will not be this close, I really want to see Pacquaio-Marquez II.....
I'm Finding hard to look past Pacquio Vs Marquez, Even though i really don't like Pacquio, it was a good fight.
But too tell you the truth i watched the Byrd Vs Golota fight, and i got to hand it to byrd for standing there and flogging it out with The Foul Pole
Hey no problem, we all ought to show "the child" in us sometimes, after all we are doing this for fun. Everybody here I guess is guilty of that at one point or another.
I regret the hell out of it though. It's in bad taste for a boxing forum too. Carrying on like that can give people a 'view' into your otherwise private world and I dont care for that too much.
Don't worry about that Tracy every year HBO do that on their website. They open up a poll and announced the official winner. I'm sure they will do it again this year and that would be official.
Going back to this thread very seldom we see threads which turns out like this. . . with posters putting up sensible opinions and nobody meshing it up with their thrash (at least until now :D )
I agree. I've partaken in some mud-slinging of my own and it ruins the taste of the board (wish I had realized that sooner) so I wont be doing that anymore.
Tito-Mayorga fight is an action paced fight but its one sided and being a Filipino I am being biased that best fight of the year PacMan-Dinamita, where are you guys vote and make the right choice, and we will get what we wish for PacMan-Dinamita II.....
I wish our 'vote' had something to do with it, then we'd all get what we want so much! ;) It would be alot easier if it was up to the fans
