2009 top ten fights of the year so far

[sikwatee]

I picked Solis vs Viloria. It was definitely an amazing and 2-sided fight. Even though Viloria won by KO, Solis was killin him in the later rounds since Viloria's stamina was gone. But still pulled an upset. Heavy underdog as well

None for Dunne-Cordoba??

I know it's shocking.

That fight ****s on any other fight on this list.

I suspect many posters didn't see it so can't vote for it.

[KILLA RIGHT]

[Wallstreet]

Agbreu-Garcia short but a great one!

[Spacey1991]

Pac-Hatton cannot be a fight of the year... maybe KO of the year..

I voted for Pacquiao Hatton, but your right.

Marquez vs Diaz is head and shoulders above every other fight thus far, and what adds to it is that is was on regular hbo

How does that beat a fight with six knockdowns and a come from behind victory.

answer: it doesn't.

Graham Houston was gushing over it.

This fight, televised world-wide on the internet by the Irish national broadcaster RTE, was one of the epics of recent years. Fights such as the Israel Vazquez-Rafael Marquez trilogy and Juan Manuel Marquez against Juan Diaz were great fights and this one ranks alongside them.
It had blood and guts, knockdowns, changes of fortune — you name it.
Dunne was cut over both eyes, Cordoba over the right eye. Down in the third, Cordoba rallied to floor Dunne twice in the fifth.
After 10 rounds, the fight seemed to be drifting beyond Dunne’s reach — but then he turned things decisively in his favour in the 11th, knocking down Cordoba three times to achieve a spectacular knockout victory.
The word sensational can be applied without risk of going over the top in a description of the 11th-round ending.
