    Salido/Lopez II
    I wouldn't be surprised if Khan/Garcia gets the nod

    Completely forgot about Salido-Lopez 2, I think that takes it.

    Rios/Alverado.

    Salido was in the drivers seat the entire Lopez fight, it wasnt nearly as competitive.

    Easily Rios vs Alvarado because Salido vs Lopez 2 was a 1 sided beat down in favor of Salido while Rios vs Alvarado was a back and forth brawl in which both not 1 hurt each other.

    lopez vs salido 2 was an exciting fight but it was a 1 sided beat down in which lopez really won 1 round and he not salido was hurt alot of times. rios vs alvarado was an action pack fight that went back and forth and both were hurt.

    Rios/Alvarado, but Lopez/Salido 2 may get round of the year.

    I'd put Maidana-JSK above Salido-Lopez. Not sure whether I'd rank it above Rios-Alvarado though.

    1. Roman Martinez Vs Miguel Beltran Jr

    2. Marco Huck Vs Afolabi / Povetkin

    3. Victor Ortiz Vs Josesito Lopez

    4. Marcos Maidana Vs Soto Karass

    5. Tomasz Adamek Vs Travis Walker / Brandon Rios Vs Mike Alvarado

    No shame in it though, We have been spoilt for choice this year with fights (all be it some unexpected)

    Although not quite FOTY material weve had some real exciting fights also

    Froch Vs Bute

    Mathysse Vs Olusegun

    Hernandez Vs Cunningham 2

    Adonis Stevenson Vs Don George (Shades of Hagler Hearns end of the 5th round :scaredas:)

    Mayweather Vs Cotto

    Martinez Vs Chavez Jr (Shades of Chavez Sr Vs Meldrick Taylor)

    Khan Vs Garcia

    Not to mention Tyson Fury seemingly growing a pair and wanting to fight David Price next :lol:

    Tis been a good year in a sport thats been dying for the last 100 years :hey
