Hey Tito Fan, one of my friends fought Escobedo in the ams not to long ago, and said that he beat him but they gave it to Vicente, but my friend wasn't half the fighter he is today.

[Pac Man Fan 83]

Escobedo is supposed to be fighting in Austin on the 16th of this month (along with Abner Mares and Jesus Chavez). I'll probably go see them fight. Like you, I am a HUGE Escobedo guy. I also think the world of Mares.

Castillo/Corrales 3 is in El Paso too!!!!

Finally time that Texas gets some big fights.

My changes are in red. Castillos is comeback of the year because he was in a brutal fight in which he was viciously KOed and then he came back to largely dominate and KO Corrales right back.

hmm

If you think Hopkins-Taylor I was a screwjob you haven't watched much boxing this year. Pac-Hernandez was worse and Donald-Valuev was MUCH worse. Since 50% of the fans feel Taylor won fight number 1 there is no validity in saying that is the biggest rip off of the year. Makes you look like a serious Hopkins nut sucker.

Fighter Of The Year: Jermain Taylor

Top Prospect: Allan Green

Fight Of The Year: Corrales vs. Castillo I

Knockout Of The Year: Brewster-Krasniqi

We're the first on the Escobedo bandwagon!

You lucky !

I had to go ALL the way to vegas for the fight, you can watch it in your city lol

For you all not to give Jermain Taylor the fighter of the year award shows how big of Hopkins fans/Taylor haters you are. He beat HOPKINS TWICE IN ONE YEAR and he won another fight.

Hatton won 2 fights and only one was against strong opposition.

Coming into 2005, Hopkins was the #1 p4p fighter, and Taylor beat him TWICE. **** all of you
