      Froch-Johnson was the only hyped fight that didn't leave me disappointed. I don't know what's going on this year, but it's been terrible. I don't expect that to change with the rest of the fights this year either.

      Mayweather-Ortiz will be one sided and considered boring.
      Ward-Froch will be the same.
      Pacquiao-Marquez will likely be a sham.
      Margarito-Cotto will just remind people how shot they are, even if competitive.
      Mattysse will likely kick Morales's ass.
      Hopkins-Dawson will be good for hardcore boxing fans and no one else, and the chance of a very disputed decision is huge because it's a Hopkins fight.

      Maybe Agbeko-Mares will live up to the hype and have nothing go wrong.

        haha..

        "puto guerrero" blew out his shoulder


        than can end a fighters career, numb one.



        go ahead and call kelly a coward

        but guerrero's no coward
        the guy blew out his ****ing shoulder


        and i don't know if you get this or not
        but he's a pro boxer
        you kind of need two healthy shoulders to box
        i know i did.

        maybe that's just me, though

          I thought the Froch vs Johnson fight did. That's about it.

              For some reason I got a feeling the Ward-Froch fight is gonna be a snoozefest.

              Only fights I look forward to and believe will be exciting fights are
              Floyd-Ortiz
              Adamek-Vitali
              Cotto-Margarito

                Highlights for me:

                Cotto and Mayorga had a good scrap.

                Donaire's KO of Montiel was brutal and comical in equal measure.

                Gamboa making Solis look like a rank amateur.

                Robert Guerrero's boxing masterclass against Katsidis.

                Erik Morales' outstanding performance against Maidana. Even though he lost, little Erik was the real winner there.

                Victor Ortiz vs. Andre Berto was an exciting knockdown-fest.

                JuanMa Lopez being exposed by Orlando Salido. If Lopez had been against Gamboa that night, the fight would have ended much sooner than the 8th round.

                Jorge Arce's upset win over Vazquez Jr.

                Bernard Hopkins proving all the doubters wrong to become the oldest man to ever win a world title.

                All off the top of my head. I'm sure there's some I'm forgetting.
                I agree with this. It's been a good year! A lot off things going on, full of drama and controversy. We had upsets leading to Ortiz vs Berto. Returns, Morales vs Maidana. Judge Robberies, Lara vs Williams. Ref Robberies, Agbeko vs Mares. Knockouts, Dull Moments. Fighter Feuds, Promotional Feuds, Contractual Feuds, and Family Feuds. Oh my.

                It has been a WWE type year, a lot of plot driven news, matches, and results. For the most part, the Ebb and Flow outside and inside the ring has been good. This certainly was not a DULL Year.

                  Yep, September is a big month full of great fights as is October. November is Shaping up nicely too with Johnson-Bute, Marquez-Pac III, Kessler etc.
