    I was about to rewatch Ellis vs Patterson. It's been a while since I saw it. Close fight.

    I'll put that out there.

    Well, yes, generally I'd say so but I don't see anything wrong in posting the odd brilliant and one sided performance just for the appreciation of it. And there are also plenty of phenomenonally entertaining fights that didn't go the distance that are well worth rewatching just for the pure pleasure of it. And the odd short fight as well, just to mix it up a bit.

    But given the response to last week's FOTW (Leonard-Hagler), I'm now expecting everyone to be tuning in and watching and offering their forthright opinions with the same level of commitment and passion to the likes of Miguel Canto-Betulio Gonzalez. ;)

    Yeah, I have a few flyweight and junior flyweight fights queued up, but I don’t see many people rushing to rewatch and rescore them...

    I will if you post them. I need to improve my knowledge in this area. As for people not watching them, there's always Heavyweight Fight of the Week for those people who don't enjoy watching the little guys...

    For the most part I agree...but with a lot of the FOTW’s being double headers, it could include both.

    Example: Tyson Tillis (cards) Tyson Ferguson (short)

    Chang vs Zapata I (cards) II (short)

    Carbajal vs Gonzalez trilogy with the first being short and the 2nd and 3rd to the cards.

    Possibly we can get a blend this way.

    I watch about 10-20 fights a week for the most part, so I am game for an eclectic blend
