    Maybe they're just waiting for the year to finish. But yeah, the reaction to this thread is surprisingly low.

    That's unfair, I think. Lesser profiled fighters who give their all in other countries, deserve their recognition, too. I know I voted for Berto-Ortiz, but when you strip away the names, hype and language, Marquez-Concepcion is probably the better fight.
