Best fight of the year?

Was it JMM/Juan Diaz? Or Ortiz/Maidana? Or Pacquiao/Cotto? Other?

Of the ones listed I've only seen Ortiz/Maidana and it was a great fight, though sometimes a bit ugly with the holding.

 

Right now, I think Ortiz Maidana was the best but I think Pac-Cotto will win the ring mag prize.

 

Ortiz-Maidana
Dunne-Cordoba
Marquez-Diaz
Rogan-Skelton
Froch-Taylor
Paschal-Diaconu
Fragomeni-Wlodarczyk

 

Marquez-Diaz...

It had SHIFTS in Momentum, BLOOD, GREAT 2-Way Exchanges, Knockdowns & a DEFINITIVE Finish...There WEREN'T Any Lull Rounds in Marquez-Diaz...



REED:hammert:

 

I thought the first 6, 7 rounds of Pac-Cotto were so thrilling that it deserves the title. Petered out after that, but the first half was unbelievably exciting.

 

The more I think about it, the more I remember how good Diaz Marquez was... I'm split between this one and Ortiz Maidana now...

 

1. Marquez vs. Diaz
2. Lopez vs. Mtagwa
3. Dunne vs. Cordoba
4. Viloria vs. Solis
5. Agbeko vs. Perez

 

We have a winner...

JMM/Diaz was the best fight this year IMO. It was very entertaining.

 

I'm leaning towards JMM/Diaz, but Dunne-Cordoba was a great fight, don't sleep on that one. Haven't seen Ortiz-Maidana yet.

 

It has to be Marquez-Diaz. There was something special that day and the energy they brought into the ring was crazy. The baby bull was pumped up trying to defend his home turf. It was also amazing to see Marquez make the adjustments, find the opening, and close the show in tremendous fashion.

I'm do I'm sure the Dunne fight was very good, the dude is a club fighter. Marquez vs Diaz was fought by two elite fighters and it was the sweet science at its' best.

One elite fighter.

 

Yup. Juan Diaz couldn't break eggs, FFS.

For those who didn't actually watch the Dunne-Cordoba fight, feel free to youtube it forthwith. Then tell me that JMM-Diaz, as good a fight as it was, is better.

am I allowed to do that?

 

If Diaz-Marquez is what passes off as foty nowaday, boxing is indeed in very dire state

 

How about Green vs Jones?

 

What fights are much better than Diaz/JMM so I can watch them.

 

Lopez v Mtagwa or Dunne v Cordoba for me.

 

Maidana-Ortiz for example, was leagues above Marquez-Diaz ( who don't get me wrong, was a good fight )

 

froch-taylor was very good

 

That was agreat fight.

 

I'll repeat: have you actually watched Dunne-Cordoba?

MTF :dunno:

 

Ditto. JMM-Diaz was a good fight but I am not sure why it's getting so much support in this thread. It clearly wasn't as goodd as Lopez-Mtagwa or Dunne-Cordoba.

 

No, that's why I'm asking.

 

Good man.

It's on youtube, so I'd reccomend you have a gander.

MTF :cheer:

 

dunne-cordoba was a war, but didnt see it live. plus, i always thought dunne was a bum so that alone didn't provide much significance for me to enjoy the fight.

i thought marquez vs. diaz was the best fight i've seen this year.

why is pac-cotto even on this list? it wasn't competitive and was rather a bit painful to watch cotto helplessly get his ass kicked in a one-sided fashion

 

Thanks Joony. That was my point. Dunne is a tomato. Watching two tomatoes go at it means nothing. However, so many people praised Gatti-Ward, another two tomatoes, that if Dunne-Dordoba is great they might get the nod. I haven't seen it. Dunne is rubbish.

Cupey

 

That's pretty harsh on Dunne. He's a good little fighter with a ton of heart who happens to have absolutely no chin whatseover...::

If you haven't seen it, how can you have an opinion on it? Oh, I forgot, you don't actually watch boxing, do you?

joe rein should kick your ass for saying that ::
