Yaegashi vs. Porpramook --an amazing straweight battle that Rafael picked as his FOTY Hernan Marquez vs. Luis Concepcion I Delvin Rodriguez vs. Pawel Wolak I Victor Ortiz vs. Andre Berto Marcos Maidana vs. Erik Morales Brandon Rios vs. Urbano Antillon Francisco Arce vs. Hugo Ruiz James Kirkland vs. Alfredo Angulo Nathan Cleverly vs. Tony Bellew Orlando Salido vs. Juan Ma Teon Kennedy vs. Jorge Diaz Francisco Arce vs. Wilfredo Vazquez
I think Concepcion vs Marquez is the front runner followed by Ortiz vs Berto some of those other fights are upsets of the year
Kennedy vs Diaz is underrated...not saying its the best, but damn was great watching it live on the International broadcast. HBO missed out not showing this 1 as part of its HBO BAD card.
I still don't get why HBO or Showtime don't pick up a few of the smaller guys. There are some real bad ass fights.
jmm-pac supposedly should have been a very huge win. why is it not here? for jmm i mean as most seem to cry robbery. nonetheless, a clear schooling of the #1 pfp should easily warrant a spot in this poll right?
Berto-Ortiz for me. Pac-Marquez was a low action albeit high intensity back and forth fight that should warrant some votes.
i loved arce vazquez but imma go with morales maidana because neither were backing downn there was no spoiling and i just remember how excited i got watching morales roll back the years as the rounds went on no other fight got me going as much as that one
I watched that again yesterday. I was hammered when I watched it live (TV) first time out, and being a huge Morales fan (no Manilow), all I saw was him. Rewatching I still had Morales winning, but being sober I was ****ing gobsmacked as to how good that fight was. FOTY 2011? I don't think so (Yaegashi, Concepcion? To name a couple)
Porpramook-Yaegashi and Rodriguez-Wolak 1 were my two stand-out faovurites. Ortiz-Berto was a good fight but a better fight to show in highlights. Marquez-Concepcion was definitely up there too.
