Beginning this week starts off a long string of high profile fights that go on into the summer. I thought that this kinda formed a natural break in the boxing year.
So what was the most exciting boxing moment 2010 for you so far?
How is Sergio winning the most exciting. God damm bandwagoners.
there's more to it than just martinez getting the w on his record.
and i was a fan before the bandwagon came through. :nana:
Personally? Pac getting 50k in Dallas Stadium. That was a great atmosphere I was there... It was really close to the Tito-Vargas atmosphere...
It was fun to watch seeing that HUGE HD screen lording over the fight, and the atmosphere is crazy, but I gotta go with Martinez defeating Pavlik, negating any doubts he deserved the win over Williams.
For me it was Kameda-Wonjongkam. I stayed up for that fight and Wonjongkam won a close but clear and competitive decision. It was a good fight.
And as Gambler mentioned for Martinez-Pavlik, Kameda-Wonjongkam was for the real flyweight championship. It also crowned a new Ring champion.
same here, except i had to get up really early for it. another moment not on the list was when montiel vs. hasegawa was announced. i'm a big fan of both guys and it's a fight that i've been wanting to see, so that got me pumped. i also agree with what QUELOQUE said. this year has had a good start with plenty of great moments.
from the list, i'd pick martinez beating pavlik. it was a great fight for the middleweight crown and it makes potential fights in the division a little more interesting. it was also good to see martinez get a big win in the states after his last two fights, both of which i thought he won.
Come to think of it I was quite excited by Round 1 of the Haye-Ruiz fight. Although I wasn't overly excited prior to the fight, that knockdown in the first round just lit me up. The atmosphere in m.e.n., the crowd made it quite special.
This probably wasn't very important to anyone outside of big boxing fans, but Randall Bailey-Sugar Jackson was my personal favorite moment, now that I think about it. I don't know what hurt more. The punch that KO'ed Jackson, or his knees breaking as he went down LOL
Does anyone know where I can find a video with that angle that shows his knees breaking? I definitely need that on my iPhone.
The 9th round of the Martinez-Pavlik fight when Sergio was just annihilating him... I was jumping up yelling in excitement like a lil girl (no homo) lol
I won money on the Martinez fight, so when he was tearing Pavlik's ass up in the later rounds especially was great.
Escalante-Roman is FOTY, Klitschko-Chambers is KOTY both of them very clear so far.
Ah yea I forgot about the Escalante Roman fight. Man that was a barn burner. Definitley one of the best FNF in a long time. That had a great atmosphere to. I liked how they built it up as a childhood rivalry where they used to brawl against eachother in Juarez, Mexico
For me it was Kameda-Wonjongkam. I stayed up for that fight and Wonjongkam won a close but clear and competitive decision. It was a good fight.

I agree, that was exciting too. Just looking at the overview was my favorite part of the entire event (not taking a shot at Pacquiao, by the way. Clottey was responsible for the stinker anyways).
Yea the atmosphere was really neat at that fight. Every time they zoomed out after the round and showed the jumbo tron and stuff. It was disorienting because you didn't know if you were looking directly at the fighters or through the big screen.
I have to go with Martinez since that was for the real 160 championship and the division has been ass for longer than I can remember so maybe Sergio can do something with it.
I liked the Dirrell fight but with the way that ended I can't give that the top spot and I liked Alexander also but still I have to give Martinez the nod.

One of these two:
1. Devon Alexander becoming a star by becoming the first to KO Juan Urango
2. Sergio Martinez becoming the new Middleweight champ and setting up one of the most anticipated fights (and rematches) of the year with Williams
