The year's been good and there's still time left, but it coulda been better.

Well, ESPN has surprised us with some great fights. The 3 prospects, Angula, Kirkland, and Gamboa have been stepping up with good competition. Great fights off the top of my head

Vazquez/Marquez III
Pacquiao/Marquez II
Dawson/Johnson
Cotto/Margarito
Arce/Concepcion
Marquez/Casamayor

Seriously, im not excited about anything, i mean, cotto/margarito exceeded my expectations and i really enjoyed that fight. Darchinyan/Mijares is going to be awesome, Jones/Calzhage might be OK, Pavlik/Hopkins should be alright, but our superfight this year is some wack **** with DLH/Pac, which is one of the dumbest fights in recent memory (along with another DLH fight, DLH/PBF 2).

This year just wasnt that good, it just feels like alot of good champs didint fight each other.

hang in there...

for 2009 will bring ABRAHAM vs. PAVLIK

that fight has to actually happen.

Vasquez Marquez 3 was the ****, im pissed off i forgot that fight!

I think it just has alot to do with Lineares being hurt, Guzman not making weight and just the fact that i feel alot of fights got left on the table.

Abraham/Pavlik would be awesome, but i just hope its actually in range to happen.

**warp1432** · 10-01-2008, 03:02 PM

And a lot of good fights. Only 1 more month till Darchinyan-Mijares!!!!

**MJ406** · 10-01-2008, 03:08 PM

I'll agree with the original poster. while 2008 started off hot (the first 7 months)

I personally found Guzman missing weight, Pavlik-Hopkins .. and of course the mega Dream fight of the year Pac/DLH to make 2008 lose it's momentum.

the above PPV fights actually give me negative enthusiasm .. if that's possible to have.

**I don't consider it a good thing when a boxing website refers to the biggest fight of the year as

"a Match up being groomed for nothing more than a sideshow to bring in a lot of money from PPV sales"

I know it's pro sports, and money is a pretty big factor, but if boxing ever wants to be taken seriously and on a mainstream level that above quote is embarrassing to admit for the so called biggest fight of the year ... if you really think about it.

Except for a few fights, this year in boxing was wack, is wack
