Favourite fight this year?

[pne buz]

Some good ones to go at in terms of performance,victories,entertainment from a british point of view.Froch ran my favourite close last night but i will stick with Rendell Munroe beating Kiko Martinez.Froch 2nd and in terms of a tear up i really enjoyed the Mitchell v Johanesson clash so thats 3rd!

Over to you lot

[brown_bomber]

margarito vs cotto had a huge buzz about that fight and it delivered

[LiamE]

I think Froch Pascal was the best fight in a British ring this year. Great tear up.

[Healy]

Dont know how Munroe v Martinez was special, Cotto v Margo and even last night we saw some great fights, Froch v Pascal best in a UK ring and Best Boxing Lesson goes to Pacman v Oscar

[JonOli]

British wise: Haye v Barret, and Pascal V Froch were both very entertaining.

[JonOli]

Enzo v Ellis must be up there for Turkey fight of the year.

[Olly]

My "Favourite" fight this year is 100% Bernard Hopkins v Kelly Pavlik,

The only fight that trumps Pac man v ODLH in terms of schooling

Best fight in a british ring would be Froch v Pascal and in an Irish ring it would be Andy Lee v The Gladiator Gibbs

[Primadonna Kool]

Bernard Hopkins vs Kelly Pavlik.....

[Infern0]

Cotto v Margarito for best fight

Best result probably Rogan V Harrison

[GazOC]

International was Cotto-Maro, UK was Rhodes-Woolcombe.

[Beeston Brawler]

UK must be Froch vs Pascal, but Rhodes vs Woolcombe was good to see that knobhead get chinned :lol:

Overall.........

Vasquez vs Marquez III
Cotto vs Margarito
Hopkins vs Pavlik - for the schooling

[ScouseLad]

Vasquez and Rafa 3
I like Pac JMM aswell
Cotto - Margo was immense but the outcome annoyed me though no problem with Tony was more gutted that Cotto lost.

My most happy moment of the year was probably Froch yesterday, I was nearly shaking at some point in that, got so into it!

[TFFP]

Kessler - Haussler

[saturday_kid]

Kessler - Haussler

That 3 or 4 punch combination that finished Haussler was sweet! Especially the left ko punch, rocked his head right back, Kessler looked very good.

[icemax]

Kessler looked very good.

Against the 3rd or 4th ranked SMW in Germany I would be surprised if he didn't look good.

[saturday_kid]

Against the 3rd or 4th ranked SMW in Germany I would be surprised if he didn't look good.

Good point it wasn't the most testing opponent. Still looked good though, maybe i'm too easily impressed :D

[jc]

Cotto - margo and JMM - Pac

[Broxi]

Dont know how Munroe v Martinez was special, Cotto v Margo and even last night we saw some great fights, Froch v Pascal best in a UK ring and Best Boxing Lesson goes to Pacman v Oscar

Pavlik v Hopkins. :deal

[D-MAC]

Vasquez - Marquez III pissed over the rest in my eyes.

Cotto - Margarito came 2nd place.

Gonzalez - Niida ambles in for the bronze (youtube footage - ok quality)
