Marquez/Diaz so far imo. Maidana/Ortiz sure was heading that way but unfortunately came to an end too fast.
I'm expecting a potential foty tomorrow:o
I thought Ward/Miranda was very entertaining and to me somewhat of an upset. Diaconu/? I forget his name right now;D was good.
from a british point of view killer its got to be froch taylor, but on the world scene just going on the upset and shock factor its got to be maidana ortiz, ortiz was meant to be the next comin, but ortiz was left wantin, add to that it was a great fight, so my pick is ortiz maidana, for the second half off the year tho i cant help thinkin cotto and pac man will be the one, if it comes off that is
I'd throw in Paschal/Diaconu but Diaz/Marquez is the pick so far for me, great action, highest skill level of all as well.
Ricardo Torres vs Raul Pinzon great come from behind KO.
For now I'm just looking for FOTY candidates no need for commitment yet
;D
Hatton/Pac was FOTY: funniest:lolhaha: Ok that was lame:p
id throw berto collazo in the mix
Marquez-Diaz, Ortiz-Maidana, Viloria-Solis, Cotto-Clottey.
Yeah it's tough. Both were great though but JMM gettting bullied around and then doing a stun gun on Diaz was great stuff. Still Collazo/Berto was pure entertainment almost every round. Agree about ROTY with Maidana/Ortiz. Shame that fight didn't go the distance; not that it would have anyways;D
i agree with diaz marquez for foty i think it is ko of the year as well, that uppercut was masterful. sorry pac fans
I'd go with JMM/Diaz. Randall Baily/Figuerora short but fun:shinner:
Adamek/Banks-Ortiz/Maidana
I think he's talking about JMM-Diaz being KO of the year and I don't know, no way to me, Manny over Hatton has to win KO of the year. Hatton was lets go find the stretcher knocked out. Its a slam dunk IMO.
Yeah pobably just because of not only the devastation but how much hype was put on the fight with both of them major players. And it coming so shortly into the....uh.....fight:rolleyes:
But JMM was great cause' he was just slowly getting his timing down and wham!!! It looked like Dia zgot hit with a cattle prod:o Beautiful display of precision punching by an older; smaller guy.
Plus, I think the fact that Hatton was out cold before he hit the ground will assure that knockdown the award...
Marquez - Diaz by a mile for me. I don't understand why Cotto-Clottey is getting some votes, it was an ok fight but IMO it was nowhere near FOTY material.
Slept on this one but Luis carlos Abregu vs. Irving Garcia aired by showtime in April was a tough shootout.Stoppage a bit iffy but both dropped and stunned bad over 4 rounds :shinner:
My vote goes to Marquez-Diaz too. Although I also have fights such as Margarito-Mosely and Froch-Taylor closely following.
Khan vs Kotelnic has to be FOTY by far. Brutal fight for Khan after moving up two weight divisions to take on the number 1 light welter in the world.
