Same here. It seems like I spend all year waiting for Marquez fights, Klitchko fights, Calzaghe and several others. and the level of anticipation is extreme. I like to watch other fighters, certainly, and some of the best fights I see every year are young unknown guys on MSG channel, or Showbox, etc. but I really look forward to my favorites. They always put on a good show, and their fights go straight to DVD. It's actually pretty great, to have nearly a dozen fighters that I like to watch that are almost always guaranteed to give a great show. Not that many times in my life have I been able to claim that privilege.
I do disagree about the first fight not being a candidate for FOTY. Short or not, it was fantastic. Both fighters down, both fighters landing great shots throughout. Wonderful display of big hitters who can fight, and love to mix it up. **** pure boxers, I'll take guys like Marquez any day at twice the price.
