    Mosley vs Margarito

    [Edit - on reflection, it was a great performance, rather than great fight. Still makes me shudder watching it, how many clean, heavy bombs Margarito took]

    :good It was too one sided to be a candidate for FOTY IMO.

    Some good calls Greg, I enjoyed Baloyi-Klassen and Cotto-Clottey had a lot of shifts in momentum which always makes for a great fight :good

    i'm sorry but I ****ing HATED the Watson O'Donnel fight! way too messy for me.

    I enjoyed the Marquez vs Diaz fight the best so far over all.... and Rogan vs Sexton was my favourite domestic.

    Maybe, not sure.

    Huck-Ramirez could be real ******* tonight and we've got a lot of great domestic fights coming up.

    Maidana-Ortiz? Loved that one:yep.

    EDIT: It's in your list, just the other way round so I didn't spot it:patsch.

    My personal fave FOTY's:

    Domestic:

    Lindsay-Appleby

    International:

    Juan Diaz-JMM
