I might be in the minority here, although I thought it was a fun fight, it was very sloppy and almost frustrating to watch so I don't get all this "FOTY!" talk I was reading last night.

What frustrating about it? Both guys were throwing heavy leathers, I know sweet science hit but not get hit. Those saying was back in the days, majority of fight fans nowadays are younger than back on Ali's era. Casual fans nowadays wants to see blood and sweat flying all over (specially if you have HD TV). I really enjoy it, I wish the japanese guy have a little bit of head movement and the fight will be close. But hey, when did we see a dancing contest inside the square circle won the FOTY award?

i think guerrero proved that crossfit is an ATG training program.

he looked incredibly faster than he has ever looked before, his power and heart was extremely tremendous, and his stamina was just out of this world (i think he could have fought 30 rounds that night).

i think this version of guerrrero can come close to beating floyd like maidana did.

and i soon expect every top level fighter to join guerrero by adopting crossfit and promoting it to all their fans.

i'm already doing crossfit now because of guerrero. thank you guerrero.

do you happen to work for crossfit?

I respect your opinion and I'm sure many will agree with your point of view, but I actually enjoyed watching Lomachenko school Russell more than Guerrero's fight against the tough Chino. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed it, but it wasn't FOTY material for me. It was frustrating mainly because Guerrero could have made it an easier fight by fighting on the outside more but wanted to be Mr. Macho and stand there and **** because he wasn't too threatened. Wonder if he'd feel that brave fighting like that against a Maidana or Thurman. And although I appreciate in-fighting, I didn't see much skill in the phone booth to be honest. Furthermore, neither guy carried enough pop to stop the other and both men seemed pretty sturdy so I pretty much knew this was going to be a sloppy in-brawl that would reach 12 rounds.

It's called sarcasm.

Great fight! One hell of a "Phone Booth Battle". Props to both Guerrero & Kamegai.. Guerrero just won what most likely will be the fight of the year (I'm not saying there can not be one better, but I doubt there could be the another like this one or better this year) this tops Matthysse/Molina which was also great. Now that makes Me think how EASILY Mayweather beat Guerrero an just how smart and great fighter Mayweather is. Mayweather dominates almost to perfection what is the "Sweet Science of Boxing" which is to hit & not get hit or get hit as little as possible. That's why I believe that in the fights against Cotto and Maidana went the way went cause Mayweather himself allowed it to go that way by fighting their fight & still beating them. And if there is a rematch against both it will be a completely different fight from the first & Mayweather already made that clear.As was the case against Castillo in their second fight.

Is this a joke, you act like Guerrero seemed like some beast in that fight. I'll tell you what I saw last night. I saw a guy who made me say "how did this guy get a shot at Mayweather?" I agree with the decision but this guy took loads of punishment against a guy he was in there (lets be honest) to make Guerrero look good. He looked like one dimensional brawler last night, was consistently taking televised right hands to the face without moving his head, never moved his feet and never really capitalized on the sizable skill advantages he had. He never should have been in the ring with Floyd in the first place. I expected nothing less than an easy victory the first time and thats exactly what happened. Guerrero talked his way into a fight, he never showed any inkling that he was on that level. Just bc he said he was top 10 p4p, doesn't mean he was. He beat Aydin, who tbh sucks, and washed up overrated Andre Berto. He's also not the 6x champion he claims to be, he's a 2x champion

Sorry bud but I still got Mattyse vs Molina as FOTY .
