No fucking way. The first six rounds were outstanding, and then Berto decided to turn it into a hold-fest in order to survive. The last half of the fight was mediocre and only interesting because of what happened in the first half. Round 6 will probably be round of the year though.
IMO Morales/Maidana is the front runner for FOTY right now
Def. the 1st half of the fight was more exciting then the 2nd half but who on here wasn't thinking that at any point Berto could KO Ortiz with 1 shot?
Berto did hold more but there was still plenty of action.
Up until the last seconds Ortiz was running in coming into Berto and getting tagged.
Morales vs. Maidana is up there but for my likings thus far I have Ortiz-Berto ahead.
I had a good bet on Ortiz to win by KO, can't believe he couldn't finish the fight off. So I vote it the worst fight of the year. Fact.
(What a 6th round though, that ain't getting beat)
I posted on my facebook that because of how the fight finished, it might not win fight of the year, but round 6 is going to be really hard to top for round of the year.
The first half of the fight was a rollercoaster but I really thought the pace slowed down and the drama was no longer their the second half.
I still have Morales vs Maidana as fight of the year.

That's an odds-on shot.
Up in the air. Probally because I watched Morales vs Maidana on a iffy stream. Watched the replay an hour ago of Ortiz vs Berto. Even though I picked Ortiz to win by tko I was still suprised with how he more or less owned the fight. He went down but was steady, after he ate a huge right hand in the 1st...that did ALOT for him.

No, no.... you nailed it. "Worst fight of the Year"
Why didn't I think of that?
The depth of your boxing knowledge never ceases to amaze me.
Really.

Tito, just to clarify - I bet $100 on Ortiz to KO Berto. FRom when Ortiz smashed him up in the first I thought my bet was a winner. When Ortiz made that ridiculous comeback in the 6th I thought my bet was a winner.
I ended up LOSING!!! I bet the right man but lost by betting the incorrect outcome. Hence I said the fight was the worst for me. Get it!?!? Great fight. Fact. Disappointing for my my pocket. Fact.
Was that unclear to anybody?:rolleyes:Quote:

Not fight of the year. The first half of the fight was great, and the 6th was certainly the round of the year, but there was too much holding and inactivity in the last half. Tyson Marquez and Concepcion is still the front runner for FOTY to me. Morales vs Maidana would be next.
I agree, the first half was great, but the second half was a bit of a stink fest with the octopus man doing nothing more than punch and grab. It had echoes of Hatton/Urango except Hatton wasn't getting all that hurt against Urango.Quote:

On the other hand Foreman-Lyle was a FOTY IIRC.
Hell yeah it was fight of the year. 4 knockdowns were traded, and a big upset was pulled off. Tremendous fight !
ive only just watched it and i was pretty disapointed considering the reviews it was getting
it started decent
i hope there are better fights this year than maidana morales too
infact there must have already been a few

and its probly yours :lickish:
one thing i do like about that fight tho is the knockdown at the end of the 6th
berto is piling in and ortiz catches him with 2 big hooks, and then berto kind of realises he's hurt and then the knockdown punch is just a tap
i dunno why i like it so much i just do :)
im gonna have to watch this a second time as on first viewing i thought maidana-morales just shaded it with maybe even juanma-salcido being the better fight
You must be thick as shit.Quote:
