fight of the year so far?

[small_warrior]

Yeah problem is.......too many people haven't watched it.

You know what the funniest **** of all time was? Some guy in a different thread stated "I haven't seen Bell/Mormeck II but I can already tell you I'm not going to like it as much as Pavlik/Miranda"

That guy needs to quit posting forever. I can't believe the level of outright ****ing ignorance on display when it comes to FOTY candidates. If you haven't seen that fight.........you have no ****ing business voting in these polls.

yes mormeck vs. bell 2 was a hell of a fight. But the first fights between these 2 in 2006 was a lot better, but didn't got as much credit.

It has nothing too do with the fight of the year but ,I notices that The french cameramen showed the fight with a lot of weird camera angles. I realised two that for the brewster klitschko fighter the camera was sometimes too fare away and had to some strange angle.
I'm french and i look a lot of europeen fights, but the presentation of the fights are not so exiting like on HBO. I love HBO fights.

Marquez-Vasquez
COtto-Judah

was Katsidis-Amonsot better than the Fight opf the year of 2006 ?

hell no, nothing from this year tops that fight or Corrales-Castillo I. But that said, I don't think anything will - it's pretty damn high standards.

To add to this discussion some more:

I've previously commented on Cotto-Judah, so no need to revisit. But Williams-Margarito - it was a good fight, but I'm not even sure it was a GREAT fight, never mind a FOTY-type fight. In all honestly, I don't think it was any different than say Johnny Tapia-Danny Romero - again, a very good fight, but not the type of fight where after you watch it you say "Damn I just watched the fight of the year."

There have been some damn good matchups this year, but if a fight like PWill-Tony or even Cotto-Judah winds up FOTY, then it wasn't a good year for action fights.

see i don't get where this is a valid claim. If people ***** that they didn't get to watch it, then they lose the right to complain about quality boxing being available on free/regional TV. The fight was on MSG network and carried by just about every FoxSports affiliate. It was there to be seen by anyone with a basic digital cable/satellite package.

Mormeck-Bell II, Marquez-Vazquez I, Sakata-Vasquez II and Katsidis' two fights this year (Earl and last night v. Amonsot). Any of those five are a valid pick - I don't necessarily think any were that far superior to the other, nor do I believe that we've yet seen the 2007 Fight of the Year.

Right and it's fine to pick another fight even though I don't think there has been a fight this year that's even close to the compelling action in Bell/Mormeck II.

But when someone clearly states they haven't seen it..........yet make definitive statements about how another fight is easily FOTY I just think they're total morons.

I've seen every fight on that list, and that gives me the right to make a choice. If someone hasn't seen them, they need to shut the **** up.

Especially HBO fanboys who only watch Home Box Office.

Pavlik/Miranda was exciting until Pavlik dominated, and Vasquez/Marquez would have been my distant second pick.

Duddy vs Campos

Vazquez-Marquez was my favorite, although the ending was anticlimatic
