Most enjoyable fight you have seen. Within last 5 years.
Kirkland Laing was posting in the 'Marcos Maidana may never fight again' thread and reminded us how much he enjoyed seeing Broner lose. I felt the same way about that fight.
It doesn't have to be about somebody losing. I mean it could be about you favorite fighter winning or seeing a great fight.

Re: Most enjoyable fight you have seen. Within last 5 years.
you know what, there hasnt been any really stand out fights in a while
last one i remember really enjoying enough to put it up there was Froch Groves 1
-
Yeah Froch fights in general. None really disappointed for me. As far as all out action anyway.
Really enjoyed Martinez vs Salido recently.
Berto vs Ortiz. Was that less than 5 years ago? Please say yes!

4-16-11 Had to check. Lol
That was a great fight! A great effort by both guys, but especially for Ortiz, who can sometimes give you the impression that he would rather be doing something else.

Provodnikov vs Bradley.
Marquez vs Pacuiao IV

Re: Most enjoyable fight you have seen. Within last 5 years.
The fat dude Arreola fought is Curtis Harper. A lot of flab shaking when their punches landed, but it was pretty good action.

Probably the maidana vs broner think I've watched it 4-5 times now

Re: Most enjoyable fight you have seen. Within last 5 years.
Always really enjoyed Sebastian Lujan.
His constant pressure is a joy to watch and his fight with Melligan is still one of my favs
-
Re: Most enjoyable fight you have seen. Within last 5 years.
It was a bit of an ordeal to watch, as I think most of us predicted pre fight. But Pacman/Lil Floyd is totally redeemable, because it reminded me of my youth, when a fight was so big, seemingly anyone who knew anything about sport had an opinion (no matter how naive) and wanted to watch the fight.

Well.... there's "enjoyable" because of the quality of the fight.... and there's "enjoyable" because although the fight may have been horribly boring and one-sided, in involved someone you dislike getting embarrassed. This one was enjoyable to me because of the latter.

Re: Most enjoyable fight you have seen. Within last 5 years.
Its crazy, I have a hard time remembering the last 5 yrs but before that its crystal clear??? I'm guilty of watching Broner and Maidana in slow mo to be honest. It was a very satisfying beat up. Have to put Fonfara v Chavez jr in that category. Matthysse v Molina was great. Guerrero v Kamegai. Salido v Terdsak was one of the most brutal a wars I've ever seen. Porky Medina-Love, Molina-Bey, Willie Nelson- Tony Harrison, Gradovich- Dib, Karpency- Dawson, Gonzalez- Mares, Ishida- Kirkland. I love upsets ;D

Fonfara vs Chavez was not a great fight but is was very enjoyable. It's funny the way we can watch a delusional fighter get his ass handed to him and enjoy the hell out of it.

Re: Most enjoyable fight you have seen. Within last 5 years.
Katsunari Takayama vs Francisco Rodriguez was excellent.
-
Re: Most enjoyable fight you have seen. Within last 5 years.
Not a big fight by any stretch, but Matty Clarkson -v- Travis Dickinson was one of the most entertaining fights I've seen ever.
If they were two big names & maybe fighting for a title, that bout would be considered a classic & talked about until the end of time.

Re: Most enjoyable fight you have seen. Within last 5 years.
Froch v Kessler 1 & 2, Bute
Manny Pac v Margarito
JMM v Katasidis
Khan v Maidana
Orlando Solis v JMLopez
Kevin Mitchell v John Murray
Ricky Burns v Kevin Mitchell (although I wanted Mitchell to win)

Re: Most enjoyable fight you have seen. Within last 5 years.
Most enjoyable watching GGG just dominate the middle weights, I like him a lot.:)
-
Re: Most enjoyable fight you have seen. Within last 5 years.
I'll now add watching Bradley KO Rios.
Nothing more enjoyable than watching someone beat the retarded smirk off Rios' face.
