    Pac-Hatton FOTY after this. :rofl

    Too bad it won't happen after JuanMa counterpunches Pac off his precious p4p perch. Although Ricky's coming off a brutal loss too, so who knows, maybe that won't stop them from staging this circus..

    I ended up getting sucked in to some gay ****ing poker tournament instead of watching the fight. Aside from moneys lost, I apparently missed the one PPV actually worth shelling cash out for this year and it lived up to the hype. For the love of Christ, why??

    I think next weeks fight between Haye and Enzo will be a FOTYC...but I doubt it can top this fight.

    Wow, I rewatched the fight again and it was unreal. I can't believe that they lasted 12 rounds fighting the way they did, especially after having 2 brutal wars with such short breaks in between. I'm a huge Barrera fan and I didn't think I would say this, but Vazquez-Marquez III is probably the best fight I've ever seen. Every second of it was exciting and the end was like a movie. I'll never get the images of the 12th round out of my head.. Rafael falling but holding on to the rope, holding on to survive the final seconds of a round of severe punishment, Vazquez firing away shots, looking like a fire has ignited in him.. two fighters giving everything they have left. Amazing performances by both warriors. Great job by the ref for not stopping the fight and letting it go to the cards. The experience of watching this live is what makes boxing so special and rewatching it makes you respect and admire them even more.

    I can't imagine anything this year being as good as this. If anything even comes close this decade, I will be very happy.

    I'm thinking DLH - Forbes may turn out to be a REAL barnburner and give this a run for FOTY.

    Damn . . . that's not real mate. :D De La Hoya at this stage of his career? :yep I doubt it.

    It maybe exciting at some point but not on this fight's level.
