Just wonderin what y'all think. The ending wasn't the most exciting ever, but the fight itself is right up there with some of the other ones I've heard mentioned as candidates. Crazy action. Just saw it for the first time.
i really liked Martinez/Williams, and haven't seen Agbeko/Perez. Diaz/Marquez was also great. But in terms of back and forth, edge of your seat, having no idea who the phuck was gonna win, thinking anything can happen, Maidana-Ortiz is my vote. Maidana down, then Ortiz down, then Maidana down TWICE, then Ortiz sent down once more before being stopped. Whether or not he quit.
If you asked me what kinda fight I would want to see if I was completely neutral and just wanted to see something entertaining, that would be the fight I would choose of the ones I saw in 2009.
In terms of sustained action,nothing beats Joseph Agbeko-Yohnny Perez.
Another good one. Neither guy could really hurt the other though so it's tough. Just a lot of punches thrown in that one.
It was surely a candidate. Perhaps Ortiz was rushed and wasn't really ready for a fight like that and it might take time for him to get everybody to forget the way it ended. I'm not one that wants all warriors to go on their shield, but his reaction was so disappointing. I would rather hear him make up something like I broke my hand or something.

It's my FOTY for sure.
Yeah, this did it for me....all of the back and forth switches in momentum made it very dramatic and special.
And not to mention the fight lasted the duration of the whole twelve rounds. All thrills and no frills was the best way to describe it.
Peace.
