Gonna keep updating this thread over 2010.
Angel Rivero vs Daniel Estrada
Miguel Roman vs Antonio Escalante
Kelly Pavlik vs Sergio Martinez
Yonnhy Perez vs Abner Mares
Mikkel Kessler vs Carl Froch
Ricky Burns vs Roman Martinez
Juan Manuel Lopez vs Bernabe Concepcion Round Of The Year
Can't really think of many other great action fights, at the moment. But if there are anymore, then let us know.
I don't really have anything to add for this year yet..
I think the FOY for 09 had to be Paul Williams - Sergio Martinez.
Hopkins - Jones 2.
What a war.
Typical I haven't seen either of these.Quote:

I actually think the most fun fight I've seen so far this year was Jesse Brinkley in his upset win over Curtis Stevens.
I know most will trash it but I really enjoyed Abraham against Dirrell too, a shock winner, a controversial ending, a couple of knockdowns, blood, what more can you ask for.
Roman/Escalante so far for me. Escalante showed he has the heart and skills to be a champ. Roman's pressure was intense throughout, I have no idea how Escalante gutted that out.
Arthur Abraham vs Andre Dirrell wasn't a bad fight, it was better than i expected. Joshua Clottey vs Manny Pacquiao was too one way for me, but i think we have got some FOTY candidates coming up.Quote:

Kevin Mitchell vs Michael Katsidis

Kelly Pavlik vs Sergio Martinez
Abner Mares vs Yonnhy Perez
Floyd Mayweather vs Shane Mosley
Timothy Bradley vs Luis Carlos Abregu
Nate Campbell vs Victor Ortiz
Carl Froch vs Mikkel Kessler/Arthur Abraham
Alfredo Angulo vs Joel Julio
Chris Arreola vs Tomasz Adamek
Paul Williams vs Kermit Cintron
JMM vs Juan Diaz 2
Im really looking forward to most of these fights, i expect to be adding atleast half of these fights to my list in the future.
Me too it was vicious battle from the opening bell, and thanks to you guys in the USA. For recommending it really enjoyed it.Quote:

For me, nothing yet. But it is far too early anyway.
That was in 09. Definitely the FOY for 09.Quote:

Add Kelly Pavlik vs Sergio Martinez to the list, and Lucian Bute vs Edison Miranda for the KO of the year candidate, along with Audley Harrison over Michael Sprott.Quote:

Has to be Pacquiao - Clottey
Martin Concepcion vs. Kevin Hammond was a war as well, cracking fight.
Agree with both of these fights.Quote:

I haven't been following boxing that much in last few months, but i just watched Juan Manuel Lopez vs Bernabe Concepcion, and that 1st round was fantastic. For certain a ROTY candidate.
What was funny about Izzy-Rafa IV maybe being a FOTY? Are you just laughing at yourself?Quote:

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr v's John Duddy
Mikkel Kessler v's Carl Froch
Antonio Escalante v's Miguel Roman
In my opinion I would go for Antonio Escalante v's Miguel Roman. I think this was a great little tear up and a true slugfest right up to the very end.
Job Biscuit (Chavez Jr v's Duddy a close second)!!!
eh eh!!
Banal vs Yoo.
I believe ICB started a thread on this.
Let me see if I can find it, he's got a list going...
I would consider Chavez Jr - Duddy for round of the year (round 6?), but otherwise it was far too one-sided for me to pick it for fight of the year. Kessler - Froch and especially Escalante - Roman were both far better.Quote:

I got these two fights tied at number 1 spot.
Lopez-Marquez (competitive) ~AND~ Pacquiao-Margarito (1-sided)
I've seen quite a few good fights this year but nothing that really stood out as a sure fire FOTYC. Here's hoping Katsidis vs Marquez gives us something to remember. Currently I'd go with Froch vs Kessler which was 12 hard fought rounds, just lacking in any really memorable dramatics that make fights like Corrales vs Castillo classics.
I agree with holmcall.Quote:
