You're a dummy if you think Khan-Maidana was FOTY

[PACnPBFsuck]

Khan-Maidana FOTY. Boxer with apparently no chin ****** with p4p the hardest puncher in boxing and did not go down. Whilst the brawler got hit with one of the meanest body shots of the year in the first round. He survived and came back to almost knockout the champ...

Watch it everyday till the end of the year and you still wont understand how the King did not fall to his Knees.

Because Maidana kept him up by smothering him, it's that simple. There's no science involved, Maidana needs to work on his finishing technique.

Can somebody please name the last FOTY where one guy was running more than 50% of the time, If anybody watched the Mares-Darchinyan fight, they would know that fight would rank higher in the FOTY vote.

It still was a very good fight, but Khan didn't stand in front a KNOCKOUT artist like Mares did for entire fight and kept coming foward.

Mares-Darchinyan was a very good fight. I didn't score it, I just watched it, and as far as I could tell off the top of my head, it could've as easily been a draw, but Mares was the aggressor, and in a close fight that sometimes makes the difference. Darchinyan cracked me up in the post-fight interview. Still I think Khan vs Maidana was better, b/c it had better, more exciting moments and perhaps it wasn't as close, but that doesn't always take away from the fight. I thoroughly enjoyed both bouts, and hopefully they can all do rematches. And yes, Khan vs Maidana was FOTY, it was f'in dope. It just had more drama in it, the fast start with both guys trading, the knockdown, the comeback, more trading, Khan's chin being tested, it proved well, but then he got hurt...yeah he ran from the like the middle of the 10th through the 11th, until the middle of the 12th, but he got hurt, he was tryna recover, I can't get mad at him for that. All in all, I thought it was a more exciting fight.

Great fight...lots of drama...Maidana had to come back from a beautifully thrown and landed body shot from Khan...and Khan had to hang on for dear life after being rocked during the latter half of the fight...

This was a throwback fight only thing missing was rounds 13-15 (Which I believe Maidana would have won).

Khan used a lot of boxing skill and Maidana showed that classic toughness...Great fight.

Peace Mo!

I watched Mares-Darchinyan last night. Great fight, but Khan-Maidana was wayy better.

There is no running allowed in a FOTY, Khan ran for more than 3 rounds. I'm not trying to take away from this fight, but this not even top three.

Not a dummy

and Khan/Maidana was DEFNITELY NOT fight of the year!

[sunny31]

As a purist I thought it was fight of the year, it reminded me of great fights in the past, it had a frazier-ali, taylor-chavez, feel to it. I love those fights, sure there were maybe not always toe to toe exchanges like barrera-morales type fight but there were plenty of exchanges and the styles blended so well. Khan uses the ring like sugar ray when he would fight dangerous opponents, it was the way he dominated duran in the rematch. In fights where there are a lot of exchanges its because both guys can take each others power shots equally as well, and really both guys struggled with the other guys power, khan especially. But the fight had a great rhythm to it. Khan would spray maidana with shots and maidana worked hard to cut off the ring and then would unload with uppercuts and body shots.

It was a great fight, and I certainly wouldn't argue if it won, and wouldn't call anyone a dummy for thinking it was.

[gingeralbino]

best fight i saw all year was a ESPN friday nights fight i saw on youtube after hearing it was a war.

not sure of the names, Escalante v Roman or something like that?

It wasnt a major fight so it wont win FOTY, but it was the best one i saw

[bojangles1987]

The best fights are usually the ones involving contrasting styles. You saw two contrasting styles make probably the FOTY in Khan-Maidana. That's why Segura-Calderon and Marquez-Katsidis are contenders.

[KRITKL]

It was a good fight, but not FOTY.
I noticed most of the people who think it is FOTY are from England, so this fight might of had more meaning for them. I'm sure Pac-Marg is FOTY in the Phillipines.
TS shouldn't have put your a dummy if you thought so, that's why your catching ****.
