Since 2002, this is by far the worst year in boxing

God damn Swedes are useless when it comes to Boxing.

 

always gonna be a **** year when people realize the best fighter of the era is past prime.

 

I can see it both ways... There have been some good fights as well as hyped up fighters getting a dose of reality with a loss. But there also has been a lot of good fights cancelled, bad news regarding fighters and robberies.

:rofl

 

Dawson Vs Hopkins
Pacquiao Vs Bradley
Klitschko vs Chisora
Bailey Vs Jones
Morales Vs Garcia
Povetkin Vs Huck

++++++++++++++
Upcoming:
Martinez Vs JCC jr.
Ward Vs Dawson
There's bound to be a few other good fights before the year is out.

 

I suppose it's true. He still performed very well against Cotto(e) though(e).

 

(From another thread

Disappointment punctuated by rare moments of excitement.

That first card was a good one.

Morales VS Garcia was alright, kind of sad, and the Kirkland-Molina scandal happened.

Gamboa-Rios never happened, and what we got instead was Rios-Abril in which Abril fought defensively and a weakened Rios came forward sluggishly in an alright fight, and Abril was robbed.

Hopkins Dawson was decent, but it was sad to see Hopkins go. Good win for Chad though; setting up Ward-Dawson was positive.

Froch-Bute was an exciting fight and revealing upset.

Mayweather-Cotto was a good card and a very exciting fight.

Peterson-Khan never happened thanks to the drug testing scandal. A month later we see Khan knocked out by a guy who likely can't replace what seemed a potentially big name.

Pacquiao-Bradley was a good fight, but again, another robbery.

Donaire looks lackluster in both of his last two fights.

The Showtime 4-way wasn't as excited as we all expected.

Berto-Ortiz 2 also failed to materialize over a positive test. Though Lopez-Ortiz was a great fight with an exciting upset win.

Haye-Chisora was a good fight with an explosive ending.

Canelo's first 3 picks for opponents fall through; Williams is paralyzed, Kirkland injured, and Ortiz upset. A fight with Lopez isn't bad, but not quite what we expected.

Chavez Jr. and Andy Lee was a good fight with a stoppage.

Pavlik looks lackluster in his return bouts.

Maidana pulls out of the Thurman fight.

Rafa's fight is postponed.

Gamboa is MIA.

Rios gets injured and pulls out of his fight





I guess in review, it wasn't that bad of a year, but too many pitfalls stopped it from being nearly as solid as it could have been.

 

Its actually been a great year outside of the pac fight decision. Because all of the fights mentioned



Not to mention boxing finally getting back on basic TV

 

Add up Marquez -Pacquiao, Arce -Vasquez, Lopez-Salido 1.

 

What are you talking about what about the two major upsets??...


Josesito Lopez destroying Ortiz



Garcia KO Khan??

Its been an eventful year to say the least

 

It's too early to conclude that since it's just a half year now. Be patient!

 

you 4got chavez jr vs matinez

 

Haye-Chisora should not be on your list.

 

Look a bit deeper, Mr. Magic, and you'll see this has been a pretty good year for fights already. :deal

Marquez-Mepranum II
Ioka-Yaegashi
Salido-Lopez II
Afolabi-Huck II
Mayweather Jr.-Cotto
Hernandez-Cunningham II
Garcia-Khan
Alvarado-Herrera
Lopez-Ortiz
Matthyse-Soto
Brook-Jones

etc.

Decent year, all things considered, and we've got quite a bit of the year remaining.
