    Some good ones to go at in terms of performance,victories,entertainment from a british point of view.Froch ran my favourite close last night but i will stick with Rendell Munroe beating Kiko Martinez.Froch 2nd and in terms of a tear up i really enjoyed the Mitchell v Johanesson clash so thats 3rd!

    I think Froch Pascal was the best fight in a British ring this year. Great tear up.

    Dont know how Munroe v Martinez was special, Cotto v Margo and even last night we saw some great fights, Froch v Pascal best in a UK ring and Best Boxing Lesson goes to Pacman v Oscar

    British wise: Haye v Barret, and Pascal V Froch were both very entertaining.

    My "Favourite" fight this year is 100% Bernard Hopkins v Kelly Pavlik,

    The only fight that trumps Pac man v ODLH in terms of schooling

    Best fight in a british ring would be Froch v Pascal and in an Irish ring it would be Andy Lee v The Gladiator Gibbs

    UK must be Froch vs Pascal, but Rhodes vs Woolcombe was good to see that knobhead get chinned :lol:

    Overall.........

    Vasquez vs Marquez III
    Cotto vs Margarito
    Hopkins vs Pavlik - for the schooling

    Vasquez and Rafa 3
    I like Pac JMM aswell
    Cotto - Margo was immense but the outcome annoyed me though no problem with Tony was more gutted that Cotto lost.

    My most happy moment of the year was probably Froch yesterday, I was nearly shaking at some point in that, got so into it!
