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 isQuote:

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
Always thought that was 2008 but i just checked it up, and your right good call.Quote:

Yeah I remember thinking "this is going to be another great year" after that fight now I have though about it. Good call man:cool: That very well may be the FOTY.
Nah not FOTY Juan Diaz/JMM is a better fight IMO, but Victor Ortiz vs Marco Rene Maidana round 1 maybe the ROTY at this moment.Quote:

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
The last few rounds in the Andre Berto/Luis Collazo fight were quality. The 11th round in that fight is also a candiate for ROTY, so is the 1st round.Quote:

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.
I think it'll win it cuz bigger names were involved. But the Bailey-Figuerora was also pretty brutal. But I would go with the first one. Cuz it involved Hatton being knocked outQuote:

pac's ko was definately impressive but just watching jmm's it was just so precise and lead up to it so well, where pac's it was this looping shot you know? pac's will win though

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.
JMM's knockout was due to Marquez breaking him down. Pac's was a one punch bomb. Also, throw in the fact that there hasn't been a knockout that brutal in a superfight in a while makes it an easy decision for KO of the year.Quote:

JMM was a brutal precision shot over some really rough rounds. PAC's was just death, that shot by itself would have ended the fight at any time.Quote:

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.
same here, i thought it was a really good fight, but IMO didn't reach the level i was hoping and probably mainly due to the cutQuote:

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.
I think you're right. I'm changing my FOTY list.Quote:
