Fight of the week nominations part 2

Barrera v Morales trilogy - all three fights very close and at least 2 of them contentious decisions and 2 of them FOTY winners.

 

The first two have definitely been on my list for a while now.

 

Anyone interested in participating in this series if we resurrect it? Thinking we should do a total of 2 fights per week (and that includes any heavyweight FOTWs). Thoughts?

 

I was kinda hoping Rosario-Ramirez 1 and Rosario-Davis would have made it onto the list.........

 

Happily, and I recommend Patterson vs Quarry 1 or 2

 

You're not wrong.
It's become ridiculous around here.

 

The reason I stopped posting in the FOTW thread was because there ended up being about 4 or 5 fights a week to watch and I just didn't have the time to watch em all. I know I didn't have to watch them all but because I was one of the few regular posters I started to feel obligated to keep up and life was hectic so I ended up dropping out altogether. There were also a few fights that I just wasn't that excited about sitting through so that played a part.

I think 2 fights max a week (one heavy, one non-heavy) is a good balance. I'll try to watch at least one although if I miss a fight or a week here or there, I apologize in advance. I'm sure we're all busy outside this forum and I post here for the fun of it so if it starts feeling like an obligation, I'm less likely to engage.

Anyway, I'd like to see it back but would stress quality over quantity to get the biggest engagement from everyone. Some of the threads got a lot of feedback but they tended to be the bigger and more controversial fights (Duran-Leonard 1, Leonard-Hagler). Inevitable I guess. Can't be that surprised or disappointed if Jung Koo Chang doesn't get as much of a response as Mike Tyson.

But massive respect goes to you and @PhillyPhan69 for keeping it going and coming up with the threads each week.

The only other thing I have to add is the focus was always on rescoring which was interesting but might limit the appeal for some people. I thought there was never any harm in having a few more fights that finished early or even a couple of short ones for the more time-strapped.

Anyway, I'm in (based on the above caveats)!

 

I've been checking out your scorecards. You're a machine!

 

I think some shorter fights would be a good idea.
It's good to watch and score a 15 rounder now and then, but fights that end in KOs after a few rounds are also worth re-watching and analyzing.

 

Might I suggest this one?

Good suggestions. I'll try to pull something together today.

I fell off too this year, when some things in my life got a little hectic. Shout out to @Pat M and @PhillyPhan69, who were the only posters who consistently scored and commented on all of the fights.
