With the year winding down, I'm just curious what some fan's favorite boxing moments of the year were. For me, hands down, it was screaming at the TV and the doctor to let Margarito out for another round after the 9th, then Cotto staring him down in his corner after his redemption.
The fact that Ortiz-Berto and Angulo-Kirkland got absolutely NO press, NO promotion, and NO interest from anyone but hardcore boxing fans, and they were hands down two of the best fights this year.
kirkland angulo...damn that 1st round was some historic sh1t...what made it even better was only a few people expected him win...every body thought he was gonna get sparked out+1 Oscar thought he was feeding Kirkland to El Perro and Kirkland was able to upset the apple cart in enemy territory. Hopefully Canelo will fight Kirkland if he gets past Molina.

Morales hasn't really had the chance to fight another good fighter after Maidana. For all we know, Matthysse could have knocked Morales out too. And maybe Garcia can do it. But I don't see how Corley getting knocked out by Matthysse, take away from looking better than expected and going 12 with Maidana.
It gives credence to the mindset that Marcos didn't take him seriously(whether right or wrong).
Corley has a reputation as a spoiler. Morales was seen as done shot fighter walking to his execution. Helps dramatize the actual fight.
The Morales fight was on a bigger stage and yes he has not fought a good fighter since which helps retain that memorable performance.
You had to find a bootleg in a different language to view that fight.
It was talked about for awhile. Most I believe dismissed it as Maidana not preparing well.
He was soppose to be up for Morales.
Plus Corely got destroyed by Lucas shortly after.
and it was 2010.

Hopkins becoming the oldest champ in history
Ward schooling Carl
JMM giving classes to manny
Mayweather reminding us that he's one of the best dirty fighters in the sport of boxing
Nishioka beating a name
:hail: I concur!! B-Hop schooling the youngun & Marquez snapping the pfp's head back while circling him & boxing him silly almost made me sniffle.
Corley fought Maidana a lot better than people expected as well, but no one gives him any credit for it. Definitely shows the favoritism among boxing fans.

pac getting his ass kicked all around the ring for 12 rounds was a pleasure to watch (besides the bull**** ending robbery)
There was a point in the fight where pac got tagged, and did his little glove tap thing and marquez landed an uppercut on him hahahahahaha
Morales-Maidana was a special moment.
He proved me and a ton of people wrong.
