    You think either man will drop the other?
    I can see both men possibly being on the canvas at some point.


    I hope its Clottey though. I want this mutha***a to lose.

      That fight is honestly one of the best I've ever seen.

      There wasn't a dull moment from start to finish, and the drama was spectactular.

      Diaz was imposing his style on Juan Manuel early, and that had me nervous as all hell. (I'm a huge Marquez fan.)

      I didn't think the old man could adapt and sustain that pace for long without having stamina issues.

      But damn did he ever do just that.

      By the time the 1st knockdown rolled around, I had already jumped out of my seat and started cheering like a raving lunatic.

        Marquez vs Dias is number one so far.

          Pacquiao will likely get the KO of the year, simply because it was so sudden and unexpected.

          But for me, that one goes to Mosley. It was equally unexpected (the general tone was that Mosley was going to his own funeral that night.).

          I prefer a good old fashioned systematic breakdown and beatdown, leading to a dramatic knockout. Rather than just a sudden KO before you can even light a cigarette and crack open a beer.

            Yeh man, after the 1st round i was like '**** This is gona be some sick night', When Diaz kept looking at Marquez after the rounds, i knew he was going for the KO. He seemed angry. lol.

              Yea, I was sure I was about to get paid off after the first 3 rounds (my money was on Diaz), but as the fight went on that feeling slowly ebbed into "****", that was a huge swing in emotions, plus the way JMM just ended it was crucial (it looked like a sniper shot Diaz).

                  That was an insanely wicked highlight reel moment.

                  Diaz went down like "Leatherface" had just chainsawed his legs out from under him.

                    Nah man, after what he did to Corrales ive hated him since.

                    I think he's overrated as a fighter and im a bit of a Cotto fan. The guys got a lot of heart and i feel for him after what the cheating mutha***a Margarito did to him.

                    I think Cotto deserves it more.

                      I should not sell JMM's knock out of Diaz short either, that was a killer knockout, that no one saw comming and it came at the end of a hard fought fight.
