Bautista vs Medina, FOTY candidate

I was looking forward to watching Bautista fight. He didn't dissapoint, but either did Medina. He was an unknown, but showed toughness and heart. He had Bautista in serious trouble, but I think the right call was made by Byrd. That last KD was good it made Medina go limp and I was surprised he got up. It was a good fight, but probably not fight of the year.

it was a good fight, but not a foty. mormeck - bell and barrera - marquez were much better imo.

Bautista vs Medina was a good fight. I was surprised that it was that action packed. Lots of punching, a few knockdowns. Too bad Juarez killed the momentum of the night.

I didnt like it at all,neither did 10 other ppl watching it with me. Maybe cause there really wasnt a loud crowd i didnt know that there was suppose to be a loud crowd for there to be a good fight :tapedshut

WAY BETTER than the Juarez fight which isnt saying much......

still very lucky for him, that the referee called it such, sometimes its a let go situation, if not he was vulnerable for another big hit ... and have to add that it was a good call of the the referee... It was a ref's judgement call and other ref could have stopped the fight in that kind of situation and give the fight to medina. Boom boom was lucky, joe cortez wasn't the referee.

Wasn't a standing eight. Bautista was falling backward and reached his arm out to grab the rope. If the referee feels the ropes keep you from being knocked down, he can rule it a knockdown. still very lucky for him, that the referee called it such, sometimes its a let go situation, if not he was vulnerable for another big hit ... and have to add that it was a good call of the the referee... and i think its not totally retarded to be a candidate for FOY, of course the fight wont win it, or were totally f_cked up this year, but for now, i think its in one of the top 10 fights of the year ... (but it just me i barely watched 10 fights this year .... lol) http://ringsidereport.com/rsr/news.php?readmore=1317 "In the opening bout, Rey “Boom Boom” Bautista, 23-0, 17 KO’s, fought what could be the “Fight of the Year” against Sergio Manuel Medina, 28-1, 16 KO’s. From start to finish, we saw an all out war between these two little men with both men suffering from knockdowns and battling toe to toe. In the end, “Boom Boom,” the Filipino sensation had more and pulled it out when you thought that he was not going to even make it to the end. This was a WBO Super Bantamweight Eliminator and both men fought like it was their entire career on the line. Medina and Bautista both should have title consideration and I would like to see these guys in the ring again. Bautista may be the man to pick up the torch and run with it when Manny Pacquiao rides off into the sunset. He certainly has heart and power and is one of the most promising little guys on the scene. The judges were once again unanimous for “Boom Boom” by the scores of 116-108, and 115-109 (twice). RSR scored it 114-110 for the Filipino warrior."

I cant believe the ref actually did a standing 8 count. Bautista was very lucky. Wasn't a standing eight. Bautista was falling backward and reached his arm out to grab the rope. If the referee feels the ropes keep you from being knocked down, he can rule it a knockdown.

That was definitely the fight of the the night, the most exciting of too. Bautista looked good, though he was in serious trouble at one point.

maybe not fight of the year but at least the fight of that PPV ... was very good to great opener!!

Bell allowed Mormeck to gas out by letting him land shots on his face.........then he taunted him over and over, stood still and let him pound away some more, then taunted him and sent Mormeck fumbling around the ring hurt bad. I've never seen anyone put on that type of show before, ever. People make such a big deal about how exciting Mayorga was by dropping his hands a couple of times in a fight...........shit. Bell just dropped his gaurd and walked forward for round after round and allowed Mormeck to punch him. That shit was fucking awesome.

:ugh: FOTY candidate u are :ugh: crazy.... VERY CRAZY..........

I thought it was a good fight, a fun fight. Fight of the night, sure. Fight of the year? Katsidis-Earl, Marquez-Vazquez, Mormeck-Bell II... so far, I'll say Top 5, but I doubt it will hold up by years end. Honestly, I'd be shocked if anyone remembered it a month from now.

I cant believe the ref actually did a standing 8 count. Bautista was very lucky.

Just rewatched that fight. Man it was real good. Both getting knocked down, Medina twice, Bautista down once and point deduction for a low blow. Lots of trading bombs. Great fight. :boxing: Last I checked Bell/Mormeck was in this past March. So go ahead and just scratch that off your list unless you didn't watch it. That was one of the most exciting fights maybe the most exciting since Mayal Monshipour/ Somsak Sathcatchawal and Castillo/Corrales I. And Bell is one hundred times more exciting than both of those guys that fought on last night's undercard. Never pay again for live sex! | Hot girls doing naughty stuff for free! | Chat for free!

That shit looked like it took his head off and he got back up immediately like it was nothing.The guy fits his monicker to a tee. Rocky.

First off, it was the best fight of the night for action. Stole the show as far as me a home viewer was concerned. I knew the Floyd-Oscar fight wouldn't come anything close to that(and it didn't), and the Juarez fight was weak. How could you not like that fight when the two traded bombs the whole way, both got hurt, cuts, knockdowns, and both just didn't want to lose as they both was undefeated. Was really good. BTW-How the hell did Medina get up on that 2nd knockdown? That shit looked like it took his head off and he got back up immediately like it was nothing.

WAY BETTER than the Juarez fight

Oh that match was terrible,no way near FOTY,not even fight of the week

I nominate byrd for the Referee Of The Year award!!!! It was nice of him saving bautista from a sure knock out in the 7th round :lol1:
