Greatest opening rounds of the past decade?

[ßringer]

Not all time, just the last 10 years.

Marquez/Diaz 1's opening round immediately springs to mind for me, but what say you? Let's hear your nominations.

Angulo vs Kirkland! All day long

Man, that was awesome.

[BetterCallSaul]

Ortiz-Maidana

Those knockdowns one after another were awesome.

Pacquiao-Hatton

Shocking

Angulo-Kirkland

Brutal

Khan-Maidana

Not the greatest first round in terms of brutality, but seeing Khan's chin hold up under those early Maidana bombs, and then almost stopping the Argentinian with a body shot was nail-bitingly fun.

[Porter's Dad]

One of my favourite rounds, period.

Two of the best brawlers ever trying to feel each other out and fight smart, barely containing their natural instincts which is to stand and fight.

Manny hurts Erik badly to the body, Erik jabs Manny into the ropes and then pumps his arms out as if he just wants to fight.

Even the end of the round is great, Manny lunging in, Erik capitalising on Pac's bad balance and finishing off the round throwing at Manny.

Classic sh-t.

[Ringlife]

Kirkland vs Angulo was a pretty good one.

[Vasyl’s dad]

Martinez Williams.
