It's half past '10 - what's the FOTY so far?

PittyPat15y ago

Not much from which to pick, but my candidates are... Mares-Perez Kessler-Froch Adamek-Arreola

Escalante-Roman for the win.

15y ago

Probably Escalante-Roman but there really hasn't been a fight that has stood out this year yet, Escalante-Roman would have been an honorable mention last year.

15y ago

Escalante-Roman Not only cause it was an entertaining back n forth fight. It had a story, both of them had beef with each other as kids. They fought in the streets as kids and met again in the ring so that helped as well.

15y ago

Actually, I think I have that in HD lying dormant on an external drive... I'll have a looksie.

Bearing in mind that these are only fights that I've seen. Many of those mentioned above I've yet to watch, so my list may well change. Martinez-Pavlik is a good one, too. Not the closest of fights, but it was great action from beginning to end.

15y ago

Not much from which to pick, but my candidates are... Mares-Perez Kessler-Froch Adamek-Arreola I think Nashiro-Cazares II is better than Kessler-Froch and Adamek-Arreola. Haven't got around to watching Lazarte-Tamara and Ikehara-Fuentes, heard they were good scraps.

15y ago

I dont see what all the hype was about Kessler-Froch. It was close, but it wasnt a barn burner IMO. Ill take Adamek-Haye and Martinez-Pavlik

15y ago

Shit, sounds like I need to watch this Escalante-Roman fight. Never even heard of them... Yeah, as of right now it's a clear front runner for FOTY. A real slugfest. The fact that it was an ESPN FNF fight and Roman was seen as a fringe contender will hurt its chances, even though Escalante is a legit contender.

Shit, sounds like I need to watch this Escalante-Roman fight. Never even heard of them...

Escalante-Roman is the FOTY so far...

15y ago

jameshepenstall

For entertainment the fight between Antonio Escalante and Miguel Roman was the best so far and for the big fights it has to be Froch and Kessler.

15y ago

Escalante-Roman.

15y ago

I think its JCC Jr. because of his exciting fight with Duddy.

15y ago

I liked the escantle-roman fight for foty imo.
