Nice thread. For me personally,I was totally excited for Margarit-Williams and Cotto-Mosley for obvious reasons. When this fight was first announced,I was not that high on it but,as per usual,I get TOTALLY suckered into the atmosphere generated by the fans,24-7,the trash talking etc.
the fight ive been mos excited for was kessler vs. calzaghe
I have to say the 24/7 series does a lot for selling a fight, to me anyway. I hope this fight sells well so HBO will keep churning em out.
I think the most exciting buildup for a fight this year is for the one tonight. Since I've been a member here I don't recall a fight being so talked about, with as divided lines, as tonights fight. Every day there are several new Hatton/Mayweather threads, and old threads being kept alive. 24/7 couldn't build up a fight as well as the members here have done for this fight; it's amazing really. Some newer members have practically made their bones here with posts of tonights melee. And after the fight, there will be a straight month or more of threads about the outcome of tonight, and old ones reopened being rehashed. Crazy stuff.
It's great! More fights like the ones we've had this year, and no one will be talking about how the sport is on the decline.Quote:
