which fight was more entertaining; salido vs vargas or thurman vs porter?

anyone who gets a draw with salido is considered a bum since salido is just a glorified journeyman at this point Porter may look sloppy but despite him sometimes wailing punches he does a lot of damage inside and isnt a bad counterpuncher himself on the backfoot. No doubt Porter-Thurman was on a different level than Salido-Vargas You wouldnt compare the greatness of Hearns-Hagler to your regular mexican brawl now would u? The level of the fighter comes into play when judging a fight. ouch, team Urban fires big shots at team Mexico. Are you gonna take that ElBossHogg?

salido vs vargas was the much better fight it had better action.porter's style made it too sloppy and ugly.

it's over. Latino coalition wins. Salido vs Vargas was the more entertaining fight. The americans put up a great fight, better luck next time.

everyone knows I am not bias and I dont play that race or nationality shit, I just call it how it is. Salido vs Vargas was a fight in its own league with 2 very skilled fighters combating each other hence the ebb and flow of the fight was great and every round was excitement whereas thurman vs porter you got lulled into boredom and repeativieness by the 5th round Thurman vs Porter looked like a street fights with gloves on, one guy is hoping to land one big punch and when he doesnt he turns his back and run and the other guy thinks its a wrestling match, both just throwing haymakers hoping they land and when they did they didnt know what else to do. so in conclusion Vargas vs Salido was 2 elite class professionals fighting for pride and glory. Porter vs Thurman was ghettoness at its finest :lol1: :lol1:

4 more votes to make it official! otherwise the latino delegation wins.

Saildo & Vargas for me by a mile. Porter/Thurman was a good match up for the most part but it had quite a few moments of inactivity and taking rounds off. It was no Pacquiao-Marquez IV in terms of drama, interesting style match-up, and finish. Despite there being no knockdowns in either fight, to me Salido and Vargas felt like at any moment someone could've went down. Neither were willing to concede any ground, showed very good inside skills, and had the crowd behind both of them all the way. Not talking down on anyone but it seemed like Vargas/Salido had that win at all cost mindset similar to Pacquiao/Marquez, where as in the other fight Porter and Thurman in particular didn't seem to have that same drive.

I looked forward for Salido v Vargas more and it exceeded my high expectations but Thurman Porter quickly became more exciting because it constantly felt like one might finish the other at any moment. It also had more variety in terms of action and was more entertaining in that regard. That shouldn't take anything away from the incredible fight Salido Vargas was.

45 votes so far! not bad.

Porter vs. Thurman great but not THAT great By Ted Sares “I want to thank Shawn Porter for a tremendous fight,” Thurman “We worked hard and Keith is a great champion,” Porter “Boxing needed a night like tonight,” DiBella Mauro Ranallo needs to rein it in. Lots of Arreola-type bull rushes, neat left hook counters, few flush connections, and crowd noise every time there is a sloppy move by a one-dimensional Porter does not equal a contender for "FOTY." Francisco Vargas vs. Orlando Salido is a FOTY candidate. This was NOT that type of fight. When Salido and Vargas went toe-to-toe in a back and forth war on June 4, the pulsating action was getting close to the point where someone might have to be saved from himself. Mauro, who makes many cringe as he goes into high gear and high decibel count as soon as he opens his mouth, also said "Thurman treating porter like an internet troll"? One of the strangest things I have ever heard a commentator say about a pair of boxers. Maybe it’s his MMA background, but his lack of boxing knowledge is egregious. The fight was timely, well-matched, well-fought, and drew 2.12 million viewers, beating out major-league baseball on FOX, which drew 2.02 viewers. Moreover, two world class fighters jumped at the opportunity to fight their equal, and then they proceeded deliver beyond anyone's expectation. Yes, that was superb and great for boxing. But again, this was not Vargas vs. Salido where two warriors took it to the brink. This was not The Fight of the Year.

when two latinos fight it's unskilled headfirst brawling with no defense when two americans fight it's pure chemistry. Nicolino Locche says hello. https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/find-a-grave-prod/photos/2005/251/11708383_112630039028.jpg

the latino delegation is taking a wide lead. will the americans make a comeback or is it over for them?

I dont know where people come out saying salido vargas had no skill. The inside game of both was incredible. I think it was the 8th round where vargas changed it around by using his outside boxing was gutsy and smart it hellped him be able to take control of a fight that was getting out of hand and able to get a breather from the salido onslaught. when two latinos fight it's unskilled headfirst brawling with no defense when two americans fight it's pure chemistry.

the all american showdown vs the tainted beef extravaganza? LOL................Who says that that type of died don't have a place in boxing

I consider myself lucky that we got two excellent entertaining fights

Vargas vs Salido was better. Thurman vs Porter was the best "freeee" fight so far. I dont consider it FOTY material.

I think you vs your man, covered in baby oil is a better fight. Then driving home in your jeepney. And having the crap pounded out of you. OMG you are a friggin phaggot!! Carry on son. Drain all the dongs that come your way!! You are now a purepac t@rd. except you know nothing about the great people in the Philippines. Kid, don't get me started. I met amazing people in the Philippines. Now I am mad. Fvck you, ***** azz punk American. Filipinos, are the salt of the earth. You are nothing. Not worthy to be a Filipino. Filipinos are warriors. Fvck you punk. X 10000 I wept like a baby when I followed the steps Rizal took at intramurous. (Wiki it you phaggot) Rizal is beyond human, but I guess you gotta look him up. I take my daughter there, every year and we follow his foot steps... My daughter asks why am I crying.. Each time. Kid, stop posting stupid and learn what a real man has in his heart. Rizal: 10000000 respect! A blessing to the world. And you, you are just stupid? What? More stupid daily?? Please wiki Rizal and pretend you are not the b1tch I believe you pro be. jesus christ dude are you bipolar? what set you off today? all i asked was which was a better fight? get on some meds man.

Unlike Salido-Vargas, Thurman-Porter were two elites having a war which means more than two glorified journeymen going at it By two glorified journeymen, you mean the number 1 and 2 ranked fighters in the world, one being an undefeated champion, who actually won his title in the ring against a real champion unlike Thurman, and the other being a 2 division, 4 x champion who has fought everyone and has better wins than anyone else on this list? 5th ranked guy gets beaten by Julio Diaz, Thurman and Brook and dropped by Adrien Broner and gets called 'elite'...:pat: Undefeated, number 1 ranked champion gets called a glorified journeyman...welcome to NSB.
