This content is protected THE This content is protected AND THE This content is protected OF This content is protected Like last years "Best and Worst" I'll try to make a toplist of the high profile fights of the year. This content is protected http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=275808 This content is protected http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=279307 Purpose is to make a Top 3 rating list. Just fill in your vote on any or all subjects. And because the year isn't over, you forgot about a fight or just chaged your mind, chances are possible until the start of the new year. If you do, please change your post, and make a new post with the number of the original post in it (#n). Also, if you have another subject for the best and worst (maybe referees, decisions etc) please post them, and if there are enough votes for it they will be added to the official list.

I am not going to go on & on about all the other fights/stuff....but fight of the year and round of the year should be ORTIZ VS BERTO. THAT WAS A GREAT FIGHT. And it was two fighters that all fight fans know and have been knowing about for quite some time. It was on HBO for all to see (not some obscure network or website in some foreign language)...and round 6 was UN-****ING-BELIEVABLE!!! ORTIZ VS BERTO!!!
I can understand that. But to me Kirkland/Angulo R1 gets the nod mostly because Berto dominated most of the round right until the last second where he got floored, where Angulo dominated the first 2 minutes until he gassed and was floored. Both deserve it though.
I'm still on the fence for best and worst fight, but here are my own picks. This content is protected James Kirkland vs Alfredo Angulo, Round 1 This content is protected Floyd Mayweather vs Victor Ortiz, Round 4 This content is protected Brandon Rios This content is protected Frank LoPorto (I mean damn!) This content is protected Victor Ortiz vs Andre Berto This content is protected Austin Trout vs Frank LoPorto

Best fight: TBD Worst fight: Klitschko v. Haye Best round: Kirkland v. Angulo, Round 1 Worst round: Mayweather v. Ortiz, Round 4 Best fighter: Nonito Donaire Worst fighter: David Haye Best matchup: Berto v. Ortiz Worst mismatch: Bradley v. Casamayor
I understand the hate for Haye, but there's NOWAY Haye/Klitschko was worse than Pacquiao/Mosley. That **** was just disgusting to watch. Tapping hands all the time instead of fighting.
What?!? That's just sportsmanlike... hi five every 20 seconds. :bart Still better as giving a hug and then getting suckerpunched after though!
Haye and Mosley landed almost the same number of punches per round (with Mosley throwing more punches), so in terms of performance, they are both even. However, the difference would be in the performance of W. Klitschko vs. Pacquiao. Pac was more active than Klitschko, landing 224/727 punches vs. Wlad's 134/ 509 punches. So while both fights were boring, Pac at least tried to make his fight vs. Mosley exciting.
He's a brawler that beats his opponents in dominant fashion (blocking some punches with his face when necessary)... And there's no boxer really clearly above the rest at this moment. The S6 winner might take his place eventually, but we haven't seen that fight yet. Make your picks and have your influence on the votes :good
Best fight: Berto - Ortiz Worst fight: Adamek - Klitschko Best round: Angulo - Kirkland 1 Worst round: Mayweather - Ortiz 4 Best fighter: Nonito Donaire Worst fighter: David Haye Best matchup: Maidana - Morales Worst mismatch: Bradley - Casamayor
