    Khan vs Maidana, Ortiz vs Berto... Which was better?

    Title is self explanatory, which fight was better?

    Which one had more drama and was just an all around good performance by both men?

    Best moments:
    Khan/Maidana
    Maidana recovering from a first round, (usually) fight ending body shot and getting lucky enough to here the bell before the ref could stop it
    Khan getting caught in the 10th to begin a 3 round survival mode that no doubt kept everyone on the edge of their seats



    Worst moments (my opinion):
    The more or less completely 1 sided ass whooping Khan was giving him for most of the round from 1-9...

    Ortiz vs Berto
    The first round KD of Berto by Ortiz that pretty much told how the rest of the fight was gonna go
    The second round knockdown by Berto that showed he wasn't gonna just sit down and let Ortiz have this win without a fight
    The 6th round (easily round of the year by far) that saw Ortiz's redeeming performance nearly crumble right before our eyes
    Ortiz 6th round comeback that pretty much ended the fight for Berto



    Worst moments
    After round 6, it becomes a one sided ass Berto just lay against the ropes and lets Ortiz beat on him for the most part.

      From a strictly performance standpoint I'll go with Berto-Ortiz. That fight involved an underdog/opponent actually beating the favorite in his best performance to date.

        Berto v Ortiz and it isn't even close. Let's remember, the Khan v Maidana fight didn't get good until Khan got hit with that right hand. Up until that point it was a bit of a snoozer.

        Ortiz vs Berto was great from round 1 on...

              Berto-Ortiz... I was expecting Ortiz to get stopped and no, he took it. Great fight

                Berto vs Ortiz. I was laughing my behind off when Ortiz got up from that knockdown to drop Berto with that left hook and Emmanuel Steward screamed "Oh My God". That fight was awesome.

                  Khan was dominating the fight until he got hit with the right hand late.

                    It is a bit of a myth that Khan dominated all of the first 9 rounds, Maidana won rounds 3, 6 and 7, round 4 was also close. Maidana arguably won the last 3 rounds as well.
