    it could be, but that might have more to do w/ hatton's grappling than mayweather's supposed 'running'

    well, TBH, the fact that, all that considered, my vote still goes to Vazquez-Marquez II should answer that question.

    I have no problem with either one being considered FOTY. I'd be disappointed if Bika-Codrington got it, even though it was a great slugfest in its own right. If the argument AGAINST Vazquez-Marquez II was that it was a bit too one-sided, then it would have to apply more so to Bika-Codrington.

    bika-condrington was a good fight, but also one-sided.

    but round 1 of that fight should win round of the year for sure.

    disagREED:eeeek: :eeeek:

    @ NO Point During Marquez-Vasquez II did REED Get the Sense that Rafa was Gonna WIN that Fight (& REED PICKED Marquez to Win Fairly EASILY)...But SEVERAL Times During Bika-Codrington, it LOOKED Like Jaidon was on the Verge of KO'ing Bika...

    Even though REED had Bika COMFORTABLY AHEAD on the Cards, Jaidon DROPPED him & STAGGERED him a Handful of Other Times...

    That's MORE than Rafa Mustered in the RE w/Vasquez, N REED's Opinion...Bika was GENUINELY HURT toooooooo Often to Classify that Bout as TRUELY "1-Sided"...

    I hate the Contender and everything ASSociated with it; therefore, I have yet to see this fight. I'm sure ESPN will rerun it once, twice or three billion times over the few weeks.

    I don't know, I felt the same way about Bika-Codrington. His power kept him in the fight throughout, but he won two rounds, tops. One was the first, where he was damn near knocked out himself.

    As for Vazquez-Marquez II - if he didn't stop Raffy when he did, he was going to be declaed a TKO loser due to the severity of his cut. I'm not sure how much closer to the brink of defeat you have to be.
