Comments Thread For: BoxingScene's 2010 Awards: Fight of The Year

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Cliff Rold - No matter the year, in the waning days of any there are some things in boxing that are certain, categories and honors that were none the moment they were witnessed. The Fight of the Year is often of those things.

When Richard Steele stepped in and waved off Julio Cesar Chavez-Medrick Taylor with two seconds to go in 1990, he waved off all other pretenders to Fight of the Year honors that year as well. In 2005, the final bell for Diego Corrales-Jose Luis Castillo was also the closing bell on anything else contending for the year’s finest battle.

2010 was not one of those years.

2010 is going to be one of those years where the “Fight of the Year” emerges from a slow consensus, a year with lots of good choices but nothing that can’t be argued against. In total, that worked out as a very good thing for fight fans. [Click Here To Read More]

Still Soto/Antillon for me.

Mix between Escalante-Roman, te Soto fight and this fight

Either is a great choice

JMM-Katsidis was too 1 sided to be FOTY

Cliff got it right for fight of the year. I have not seen another writer pick Calderon-Segura yet. They are all going for mainstream picks like Marquez-Katisidis or Khan-Maidana.

how was it one side when marquez hit the deck. It was the best fight this year both where landing hard punches but marquez had the edge. It only need it a better ending like a ko and it would of been fight of the year sorta like with marquez vs diaz.

Marquez-Katisidis was one sided. If you take away the third round, Marquez was in control through out the fight. It was a good action fight, but not the fight of the year.

Remove the the KD and Marquez won every round

Sure marquez won most rounds but all the rounds there was two way action in no point in the fight was marquez dominating until marquez turned it up in the 9th round. They where both landing clean hard shots and great acurate combos.

Segura-Calderon was a good fight, but I still think Martinez-Burns was better.

Segura vs. Calderun should be in the running as well
