Thread: Most enjoyable fight you have seen. Within last 5 years.

Kirkland Laing was posting in the 'Marcos Maidana may never fight again' thread and reminded us how much he enjoyed seeing Broner lose. I felt the same way about that fight.
It doesn't have to be about somebody losing. I mean it could be about you favorite fighter winning or seeing a great fight.

you know what, there hasnt been any really stand out fights in a while

last one i remember really enjoying enough to put it up there was Froch Groves 1

Yeah Froch fights in general. None really disappointed for me. As far as all out action anyway.

Really enjoyed Martinez vs Salido recently.

Berto vs Ortiz. Was that less than 5 years ago? Please say yes!

4-16-11 Had to check. Lol
That was a great fight! A great effort by both guys, but especially for Ortiz, who can sometimes give you the impression that he would rather be doing something else.

Quite a few good fights for me.
Provodnikov vs Bradley.
Marquez vs Pacuiao IV
Marquez vs Katsidis.
Arreola vs another fat guy.
Garcia vs Khan

Cotto-Margarito II

Provodnkov - Bradley
Froch - Groves 1 (apart from the finish)
Brizuela - Coyle

The fat dude Arreola fought is Curtis Harper. A lot of flab shaking when their punches landed, but it was pretty good action.

Took about 1/2 hour to think about it- fights mentioned above along with these- are the best I've enjoyed in the past 5 years.

2015
Canelo vs Kirkland

2014
Crawford stopping Gamboa
Mathysse vs Molina
Walters stopping Donaire
Mayweather vs Maidana I


2013
Provodnikov vs. Alvarado
Mayweather vs Alvarez
Rios vs Alvarado II
Kirkland vs Tapia

2012
Pac vs JMM IV
Mayweather vs Cotto
Salido vs Lopez II
Khan vs Garcia
Froch vs Bute
Cloud vs Campillo
Rios vs Alvarado I

2011
Mayweather vs Ortiz
Rios vs Acosta
Rios vs Antillon
Kirkland vs Angulo
Hopkins vs Pascal II

2010
Mayweather vs Mosley
Gamboa vs Salido
Rios vs Peterson
Khan vs Maidana
JMM vs Katsidis
Martinez vs Williams II (wow, seemed longer than 5 years ago)
Gamboa vs Salido I
Juanma vs Concepcion (short but sweet)
Pascal vs Hopkins I


Missed many others?

only 2015 fights I can think of are

Kovalev vs Pascal
Crawford vs Durlome


has anyone seen Acelino Freitas vs Mateo Damian Veron?

Can't believe he came back

Looking at the lists it seems I've been an admire of the fights of Provodnikov, Rios, Kirkland, Mathysse & PBF.

Probably the maidana vs broner think I've watched it 4-5 times now

Always really enjoyed Sebastian Lujan.

His constant pressure is a joy to watch and his fight with Melligan is still one of my favs

It was a bit of an ordeal to watch, as I think most of us predicted pre fight. But Pacman/Lil Floyd is totally redeemable, because it reminded me of my youth, when a fight was so big, seemingly anyone who knew anything about sport had an opinion (no matter how naive) and wanted to watch the fight.

Well.... there's "enjoyable" because of the quality of the fight.... and there's "enjoyable" because although the fight may have been horribly boring and one-sided, in involved someone you dislike getting embarrassed. This one was enjoyable to me because of the latter.
