For me :

Katsidis vs Amonstat

This was a hell of a fight. I could've swore the fight was gonna be stopped on cuts. Katsidis was getting tagged. Somehow he kept winning rounds and won the fight. Even more bizzare, Katsidis was all busted up and Amonstat didn't have a scratch on him, yet Amonstat clearly lost and his career is probably over as a result of injuries sustained in the fight.

[nulty]

Katsidis v Amonstat
Katsidis v Earl

One man in two fights, each were hailed as fight of the year afterwards, what a fighter.

[ipswich express]

Good shout...or Katsidis v Earl!

[JETSKI]

Try Pavlik vs Miranda. What an UPSET!

nope. i heard he's not done yet. the bleedign was outside the brain and was as non-dangerous as katsidis's black eye. just some under the skin bleeding.

i know the scorecards were quite far but i want a rematch between the two. maybe in 2 or 3 years. let amonsot mature as a fighter first. then he'll post a bigger threat to katsidis. the young filipino is just 21! he'll be a better fighter because of that loss

[PH|LLA]

Try Pavlik vs Miranda. What an UPSET!
Pavlik was the favorite

[Imperial1]

Darchinyian and Donaire fight is a good runner up as well .

[JETSKI]

Pavlik was the favorite

Yeah, I guess in Vegas. I was thinking of the voting here on the forum.

[BigReg]

Darchinyian and Donaire fight is a good runner upp as well .

The problem I have with this fight was that there wasn't a whole lot of back and forth action. I had Darchinyian only winning one round when he got knocked out.

[hopkinsfan07]

Marquez - Barrera was great even tho Barrera was robbed in the end

[Imperial1]

Agreed that could have been classified as an upset of the year as opossed to fight of the year ..

[BigReg]

Vazquez v. Marquez was good while it lasted

[theunderdog]

it's great that there are so many great fights this year already. and it's just july!!! i kind of hope that the fight of the year this year would come out of nowhere like the monshipour vs the thai dude whose name i won't even try to spell

[King Dan]

Vazquez v. Marquez was good while it lasted

Agreed.

Marquez - MAB and Pavlik - Miranda as runner ups.

This of course also having "level of skill" involved in the Fight of the Year equation.

[tays001]

magarito williams

hell no that is no where near fight of the year

[myk]

My top 5

1. Barrera - Marquez
2. Darchinyan - Donaire
3. Marquez - Vasquez
4. Cotto - Judah
5. Katsidis - Amonsot

[Alo2006]

Vazquez v. Marquez was good while it lasted

I agree :good

[psychopath]

I was going to put a poll up but there are some fights I have not seen so I don't miss them just post them ..


For me :

Katsidis vs Amonstat

Got to give credit to Kats for the good battle. :yep

[HandsOfGold]

Miranda-Pavlik was exciting for as long as it lasted.

[psychopath]

i don't agree ... fight of the year credits goes to both boxers ... it will not become one without the equally excellent performance of the other boxer ...

Oh yes both should get credit but more on Kats because he kept coming in for more exchanges. Kats fighting style made it more exciting. I've seen Amonsot fight at least twice before this and he is an average fighter in terms of action and bringing in excitement.

[aliwasthegreatest]

amonsat lost because of one glaring fucking thing he did over and over. and that was drop the left when he jabbed, or pulled it back. if he had just keep the left where it needed to be he wouldn't have been countered NEARLY as much and wouldn't have been dropped early

[theunderdog]

if katsidis was stopped, it will be like vit klit vs lewis all over again

[CHATABOX]

Cotto v judah for me.

And at the other end of the spectrum.

"Fucking waste of time - fight of the year" to date:

De la hoya v Mayweather (Winner)

Winky v Hopkins (Runner up)

[miamite]

Pavlik was the favorite Actually Miranda was the slight favorite.

[miamite]

Miranda-Pavlik was exciting for as long as it lasted. I agree. In retrospect it was a bit onesided but upon first glance it was a very exciting fight.

[Rock0052]

That Kid Diamond fight where pretty much everyone had the underdog winning was a damn good fight, too.

[Johnnyblaze]

Taylor-Spinks!!!!!!!!!!! What a great fight!!!!! :lol:

[Martini643]

Katsidis vs Amonstat
Margarito williams

[brooklyn1550]

Marco Antonio Barrera vs. Juan Manuel Marquez
Rafael Marquez vs. Israel Vazquez
Michael Katsidis vs. Czar Amonsot
O'Neil Bell vs. Jean Marc Mormeck 2
Michael Katsidis vs. Graham Earl
Miguel Cotto vs. Zab Judah
Paul Williams vs. Antonio Margarito

All candidates, but I would say Barrera-Marquez or Marquez-Vazquez

[CarltonBlues]

Katsidis Earl

[Archie_Moore]

Where's the love for the Ding. That was a great fight.

[BoppaZoo]

Katsidis vs Earl

For me it was great.

[Scar]

Marquez vs Barrera.

[Scar]

Taylor-Spinks!!!!!!!!!!! What a great fight!!!!! :lol:

:lol: :lol: :lol:

[cardstars]

Taylor-Spinks!!!!!!!!!!! What a great fight!!!!! :lol:

LOL yeh that was exciting as hell :tired

The best fight I have watched this year was Pavlik/Miranda. There were some bombs thrown in that fight. I havent seen all of the fights listed in this thread, but this is my choice from what I have seen.

[Deslizer]

1. Vazquez vs Marquez
2. Barrera vs Marquez
3. Katsidis vs Earl
4. Bell vs Mormeck II
5. Katsidis vs Amonsot


Can't wait for the rematch between Vazquez and Marquez...

[marauder1999]

Pavlik was the favorite

Where did you ever read that?

[JETSKI]

I agree. In retrospect it was a bit onesided but upon first glance it was a very exciting fight.

Accurate analysis. It was exciting, but it was a perfect example of how to get in there & waste no time to start dismantling your opponent. Miranda tried to make it a fight, but he never stood a chance.

Pavlik dominated his butt.:bbb

[Irish Steel]

The fight of the year will be on November 3rd:good


Or Cotto VS Judah

[Orishaman]

Cotto v Judah could be honorably mentioned...

[PacDbest]

My pick so far is Cotto Judah.

Pac-MAB 2 has a potential if MAB bring his all & Give Pac a fight.

[Vantage_West]

Katsidis v Earl
was by far more dramatic

[tpuz]

[quote=Irish Steel]The fight of the year will be on November 3rd:goodWhy, who's on the under-card??:lol:

[*BOX_FAN*]

Katsidis vs Earl

[Goose]

#1 Vazquez vs Marquez
...followed by Pavlik vs Miranda

[Toopretty]

Vasquez/Marquez.. I mean....shit..that was skilled power punching boxing..not know slop bucket club fight like Miranda Pavlik..Miranda fought like a complete idiot...and deserved to get KO'd by the super slow Pavlik..who hit him with the same punch over and over..In Vasquez/Marquez you seen everything...pure offensive TALENTED fighters..GO Marquez..my boy..p4p best offense in boxing..I dont care....thats just my opinion

[The Kurgan]

So far, I'd say Earl-Katsidis.

[El Bombasto]

Try Pavlik vs Miranda. What an UPSET!

Pavlik-Miranda was fun to watch; but that fight was a demolition, not realy fight of the year material
