Trinidad vs Mayorga...hands down!!!!!!!!!

It was an exciting fight to watch, even for a guy pulling for El Matador. But Ricardo quit being "competitive" for a few rounds, so I didn't think it approached Gatti-Ward level. It was my third or fourth favorite fight of the year. I thought Lacy/Vanderpool, being just as action packed (though without the taunting so much), and competitive the whole way through, Lacy having so much rage and energy, was the fight of the night Saturday, though.

Without a doubt, Manny vs Marquez. I know Mayorga vs Tito was a great fight though cmon, a 1 sided fight the whole way through isn't all that exciting except for watching a guy dish out punishment and the other guy being able to withstand. It was almost equal to Gatti-Ward 1 except being that one guy didn't have much a chance at all which makes a big difference. Manny vs Marquez had my heart beating from beginning to end after I noticed Marquez wasn't going to want to lose it while Manny trying to keep the momentum in his favor. Was amazing fight.

How could you say Maoyrga didnt have a chance at all? The guy was dropping bombs the whole fight.

Unlike previous years there is no far and away winner. I thought Pemberton vs. Sheika was the best personally.

I'll tell you why.

Mayorga's energy lasted 3 rounds. He fought for the next 5 rounds, but I mean come on, he was dead tired to teh point where he became target practice for Tito who landed over 60% of his punches. I don't remeber the last time a fight made me stand up out of my chair (when Mayorga stuck out his chin and did a wobbly leg dance) that **** was exciting. But after the first, you knew who was gonna win.

Pac-Marquez got my vote. It was closer and harder to call.

Tito-Mayo hands down. And The worst DLH-Nard.

[ELPacman]

Yeah exactly. Mayorga tired fast after the first rd. From then on he was throwing even more wild shots than he normally does. Then the few that he landed had little effect on Tito. Meanwhile every shot Tito landed meant something and showed. Ya the only thing that got me going was when Mayorga stood their taking shots though that's about it. The rest was almost feeling bad and good at same time watching Mayorga take a beating.(Good that it showed his bravery, Bad that it could have caused permanent damage).

It looks to be a dead heat for JMM-Pac and Tito-Mayorga.

Those are the two I imagine the boxing journalists will have at the top of their lists, too. I'm surprised no votes for Corrales-Freitas though.
