With 2019 close to being over this year has actually been really damn good. So far its been:
J-Rock vs Hurd
Joshua vs Ruiz 1
Pacquiao vs Thurman
Ramirez vs Hooker
Kovalev vs Yarde
Talarek vs Szymanski
Ritson vs Davies Jr
Rigondeaux vs Ceja
Fury vs Wallin
Kownacki vs Arreola
Spence vs Porter
GGG vs Derevychenko
Kovalev vs Yarde
Beterbiev vs Gvozdyk
Taylor vs Prograis
And now Inoue vs Donaire
What's your 2019 FOTY? I'll have to think hard on this one.
But that's with every fighters with huge fanbase such as Mayweather, Canelo, GGG, Joshua, Wilder, Fury, Loma, etc. This is something I never understood when it comes to fight fans. Why does a fighters fan base, no matter how negatively you think of them, have to affect your overall opinions on the fighter themselves? I just think people want to use a fighters fan base as an excuse to hate on the actual fighter to the point of WANTING that guy to lose, and it shouldn't be like that.
I appreciate the fighters themselves and not let their idiotic fan base change my perception on them.
Yeah i know... Its just annoying lol
AJ vs Ruiz
Because of the knockdowns and shock value. It wasn't a one way fight.
Prograis vs Taylor
Prograis early, Taylor in the middle rounds, Prograis finishing strong in a close fight by two prime top of the division fighters.
Lmao Facts.... I love Manny but God he has some of the worst fans. To the point i was kinda wishing Spence woulda layed him tf out just so i could drop that "i told u so" and they would crawl back into their caves ( sorry Decent Pac fans) lmao

i wanted him to get ktfo, and shut up all the pinoy *******s, but as the fight went on.. i was cheering him on..
i do not hate fighters, but their fans are irritating.. really irritating.. but i am happy I did not root against a guy, because his fans are irritants..

Yeah! I actually was rooting for Donaire before the fight.

1. Inoue-Donaire
2. Ramirez-Hooker
3. Delahoya-Rios
Those three fights stand out to me most.
the more you post, the more i like you.. you like nice cars, good food, good movies, and fine wimmin.. cool with me..
I grew up with a lot of Koreans in San Jose, lots of https://www.facebook.com/Bocce-at-Backesto-Park-126369170721557/
now i get clowns on my nuts.. slobbert and sillyboy32
they have been crushed..
my wife is half korean spicy...
i want to watch a good scray movie.. but i get bored when they the producers show me azz clowns, demons and devils, all edible. with kimchee, and soju, ob beer.. everything is edible..
my wife said, one time, get a fresh turkey.. i went out, and harpooned one with my cross bow.. my mom, wife and sisters, ate frozen butter ball. i ate freshly killed turkey.. my mom, wife and sisters, were looking at me weird. like I did something wrong..
people are weird.
Inoue, and Donaire, my choice fight of the year.
I'm sorry, you musta miss toned me. I really don't give a ****...I thought I was explaining I don't actually care and just reverted to what I thought would be popular choices to add to the participation of the thread.
:lol1: I asked why you didn't take issue with Ruiz-Josh because I'm honestly curious. I told the other guy to **** off because you got me interested in the subject and I wanted to hear you out without getting distracted by another :lol1:
Don't blue balls me bud. :lol1:
If my choices are poor help me make better ones.
Lmao nah u gud.... But i just looked up and saw a 4 paragraph rant and felt like i just stepped into some shyt i wasnt prepared for lmao
If my choices are poor help me make better ones.
It's nice to see a touch of humility on these forums! Have some green :D
For what's it's worth - when you took the time to explain it, I understood what you meant. The reaction to Nelo - Kov was about as loud and busy as any of the other FOTY candidates, perhaps even more so...but probably for the wrong reasons. They were not made out of entertainment or delight, more so out of anger and bizarrely, feelings of wrongdoing :D
I dunno why I'd make them mutually exclusive.
I don't know how else to explain it. I suggested Canelo-Krusher because the folks here lost their **** for that fight. Sorry if that doesn't make sense to you.
:lol1: Same's kinda true for Ruiz-Josh, which you seem to have no issue with.
Only reason I mention that fight is because since then Ruiz has fans, like, a lot of them, ....why aren't you telling me to save that for KO of the year?
I don't feel the need to shove my two cents in on stuff like this I just support whatever I reckon the community is into because none of y'all share my perspective on boxing anyway and I could not care less about media awards.
Yo if i knew it was that serious i woulda just left you in your lil corner bro lol
as you said. take away the shock value.. nonito gave me long lasting shock value.. he threw down.. dayumm.. win lose or draw.. no loser in that war.. respect bro.. wow. awesome. when ever, i start losing interest in my fav sport, i see that guy, or two guys throw chingasos, and bomb on each other.. both are winners
Yeah! I actually was rooting for Donaire before the fight.
Donaire vs Inoue for sure!!! The ending to that fight was written before it even started...Donaire being brutally ko'd by mid rounds. Instead, the old dude rolled back the years and was cat quick and refused to say die. I loved it and I wasn't even that unhappy he didn't win, it's the perfect result for the sport.
Ruiz vs Joshua 2 next week though...:dance: I didn't think their first fight was actually all that action packed, though I don't suppose 5 knockdowns is bad value for money (even if 4 were from the same dude :boxing:)
You cant be serious?

Ive just finished watching the fight. Holy **** what a fight. Im buzzing so right now im saying ive just watched the fight of the year. Maybe when ive chilled out a bit i will reconsider. Hooker v Ramirez was something special too though.
seeing Donair throw down.. man.. wow.. he is a boss. win lose or draw.. i am still with goose pimples. and japanese boxing fans, are saying, without the knock down, it was a draw.. really.. my neighbor trains boxers.. i need to take photos and post them.. hit me up privately and i send you all kinds of pics, some with boxers, most with chicks.. i am not getting any side action. but i do hang with some interesting people..
Before that fight Loma owned our p4p poll by a wide margin, now Canelo does, I'm being diplomatic.
Huh what does that have to do with fights of the year?
Save that diplomacy for knockouts of the year. Which Canelo is an automatic top 5 nominee
Why do you all keep including AJ-Ruiz in the FOTY candidates list? I think it was an upset of the year or maybe the decade but definitely not a FOTY. The fight itself wasn't anything special.
Inoue-Donaire is my choice btw
