I've seen this post about 20 times now, and almost never does the OP mention more than one of my top five fights of the year so far: 1) Daniel Estrada vs. Angel Alirio Rivero 2) Antonio Escalante Jr. vs. Miguel Roman 3) Hugo Cazares vs. Nobuo Nashiro II 4) Topo Rosas vs. Simphiwe Nongqayi 5) Giovanni Segura vs. Ivan Calderon Coming up, I think that Marquez-Katsidis and Nishioka-Munroe both have great fight written all over them.
Marquez-Katsidis definitely, though im not sure about Nishioka-Munroe, it'll be good but I think Nishioka can control Munroe handily enough.
Good list. I think it's fair to say, though, that neither HBO nor Showtime has had a banner year. That's especially true for HBO, which frankly has been awful. But there's some good stuff headed our way to close out the year.
Top 3 FOTY Canidates. Antonio Escalante v Micky Roman Ricky Burns v Roman Martinez Ivan Calderon v Giovanni Segura Watch these fights before you start saying some bull**** like Froch-Kessler, seriously.
