Bilbo's post Round 7
Ok that's that over with, now let's (FINALLY!) get to the meat of the argument,. I say the flyweights are more exciting than the heavies you argue otherwise. Let's settle this once and for all.
List your top 10 most exciting heavyweight fights of the year and I'll list my top 10 flyweight fights of the year. Remember this is all about excitment and drama!
I'll go first, here's mine.
1.)
Nonito Donaire vs Vic Darchinyan One of the greatest upsets of the year Donaire exposed Darchinyan big time catching him cold with a stunning one punch knockout, one of the best of the year. The fight completely overshadowed the supposed 'main event' of Travis Simms vs Joachim Alcine
I'll tell you a real david versus goliet upset of the year. pay attention cause this was no upset vic just got expose by a unknown talented boxer nonito.
2.)
Hugo Cazares vs Ivan Calderon A fight that generated world wide
(B.S) interest amongst boxing fans the tiny 5ft Calderon stepped up a division to face the big punching and 7 inches taller Ring champion Hugo Cazares. In a fascinating fight Calderon befuddled and outsmarted the much bigger man and overcame the drama of being caught in the middle of the fight. Cazares was stalking him at the end, but Calderon held firm for a fantastic victory
3.)
Ulises Solis vs Rodel Mayo In an action packed fight Solis recovered from a knockdown and almost being out on his feet to come back and knockout the brave challenger Mayo.
4.)
Fernando Montiel vs Luis Melendez One of the best fights of the year WBO Super flyweight champ Montiel picked himself up off the floor to finish Melendez in the final minute of a 12 round war
5.)
Jorge Arce vs Tomas Rojas Although the fight took place at
bantamweight Arce make no mistake is a flyweight star. After taking a beating for 5 savage rounds he stunned Rojas with a devasting body shot that spectacularly ended the fight
6.)
Dimitri Kirilov vs Jose Navarro, The chief support for the Holyfield Ibragimov world title fight this flyweight bout was by far the more entertaining of the two. Kirilov overcame a knockdown in the 3rd round to fight back and win a close and extremely hard fought 12 round win.
7.)
Christian Mijares vs Jorge Arce In a suprising upset the little known Mijares revealed himself to be a super slick southpaw who laid a smackdown on the popular Mexican ending his 8 year unbeaten run in spectacular fashion.
8.)
Daisuke Naito vs Daiki Kameda. A savage ugly brawl that erupted into one of the dirties fights in recent memory. Naito put a beatdown on Daiki Kameda, leading him to spectacularly implode in the fight and earn himself a year's ban from the sport. But don't let the fouls fool you, unlike Mayweather Judah this was a savage powerpunching fightfest and my favourite fight this week.
A dissapointment
9.)
Edgar Sosa vs Brian Viloria. An undercard fight on the Blaze of Glory HBO PPV featuring Manny Pacquiao vs Jorge Solis, this fight was clearly the best bout of the night. A toe to toe brawl Sosa managed to find something in the last rounds to pull off a huge upset win. Boxing writers praised the fight as being one of the finest of the year.
(Brian Viloria is also dissapointing
10)
Daisuke Naito vs Pongsaklek WonjongkamAnother great showing from Naito he caused a huge upset by beating the Ring champ Wonjingkam and ending his 6 year and 16 title defenses reign. Wonjingkam had previously been rated at number 10 in the Ring magazines p4p list.
Pongsaklek has always been overrated and protected
Ok that's my top 10 most exciting flyweight fights of the year.
