Best Round of the Year ?

My "idea" ? It's not my idea...it's the STANDARD. Go back & look at any round selected as the best one of the year, by The Ring or any pblication, & you'll see not a single one was a BLOWOUT. No round that could have been scored 10-6 will ever be "Round of the Year". You guys are basing your pick on what round made YOU the HAPPIEST. That isn't how it works. Be objective. point taken. there's always a first time though

jabsRstiff, Standard to be Round of the Year is liked what you said back & forth action and never a blowout can not be denied and is a fact.... but for me, just maybe there's a chance in hell Pac-JMM R1 will be the first, and its surely did get my vote and I am Happy...

Interesting point on JMM asserting himself at the beginning and somehow towards the end of the round. Could be a case for jabsRstiff's idea that the best round of the year ought to be a back & forth contest. Hey, were all entitled to our own views ... My "idea" ? It's not my idea...it's the STANDARD.

jabsRstiff, as an avid PacFan the Pac-JMM Round 1 for me, is either the best round or the worst round: Best Round: first half of the round JMM asserting himself and showing who's the boss next minute he was kissing the canvas 3 times, last 30 secs showing the heart of a champion, while still groggy fighting back and throwing punches while still receiving bombs.... Worst Round: should have ended on the first, I saw 2 missed punches by Manny if he connected on those 2 it was all over, now I have to settle for a draw and re-match....

It is tough to remember specific rounds like gatti/ward 9 or bowe/holy 10, so here are some fights that had to have great rounds. Morales/Hernandez Messi/Jirov Pemberton/sheika as mentioned castillo/Lazcano

Round 8 of Sheika-Pemberton II Godamnit!!!!

You Pac fans need to get a clue. "Rounds of The Year" are rounds where there is BACK n' FORTH action. Either both are hurt, or knocked down....or there is just furious exchanges. There's no way a round that featured one guy beating another guy down 3 TIMES, with no return fire, can be considered a great round. The fact that JMM came back & made a great FIGHT out of it...makes it a candidate for "Fight Of The Year".....but not the round.

Actually, Marquez getting up after each of the 3 knockdowns is EXACTLY the reason why I think this is the best round of the year. Most other fighters would fade and die right after the 3rd KD I agree. Most fighters would've just decided to refuse more punishment and stayed down there. But just like a true champion, he got up and survived...that i think provided the drama of that round.

best round of the year? pacquiao-marquez round 1? i don't agree. well, if marquez hadn't gone up from that last knockdown (thanks to the slow counting of that referee -- i don't know why he has chosen to count in spanish) that could have been the best round of the year for me! well, this is a point for argument but in my opinion, whether you are seeing this fight in any angle you want to see it, this is not my idea of a best round. the best round for me is when fighters try to win it, exchanging blows, never run, standing toe to toe. this usually happens in the last round especially if both cards are so close on points!

A lot of fights to pick from this year. I say round 5 of Tito-Mayorga was great. Or make it more competitive and say round 1. Though there was a few in Pemberton-Sheika that were great as well.

i am a huge roy jones fan and i honestly think he is through. his last fight was hard to watch and there is no way the reason for his poor performance is that he cant get up for fights anymore. i hope he doesnt come back or it could be dangerous for his long term health Honest of you to say that. I guess it's just a bit hard to see one of the greats at the twilight of his career...

I hope not. Seriously, you think Jones is through ? i am a huge roy jones fan and i honestly think he is through. his last fight was hard to watch and there is no way the reason for his poor performance is that he cant get up for fights anymore. i hope he doesnt come back or it could be dangerous for his long term health

RD4 Edouard-Gibbs- these guys were going for dicapitation

pacman-jmm round 1 still the best so far :D

Roy Jones Jr vs Glen Johnson Rd5 Jones finally shows flashes of his old self but Johnson takes everyone of his powershot and comes back with his own fire power.Great action packed round.This is one of the few and probably the last time we will ever see R.J go to War in a fight. I hope not. Seriously, you think Jones is through ?

At least you agreed on Pac-JMM rd. 1 ;)

No offense...but you Pac fans have to step outside the box that is being Pac fans. BEST ROUND OF THE YEAR ? Be objective....which round offered the best back & forth action ? Not which round made YOU the most happy. Pac-JMM, rd. 1....was a ROUT.

I say PAC-JMM Round 1, I thought it was all over Manny shows why he is called the Destroyer in my country the Philippines, but every time JMM keep on standing, hitting back and showed he has the heart of a champion... I also saw to missed punches if one of those 2 punches connected, it could have been a short night, I give props to both fighters for giving us a great fight.....
