    After reading the comments on Ishy's thead (http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=165519) and seeing the outstanding international fights listed in it, I found it pretty damn hard to actually pick a winner. Seeing as the year is almost finished, I was just wondering how the forum would vote as a whole, so I decided to conduct poll.

    Which has your vote?:think:good

    Berto-Collazo. Not the most action packed FOTY but the momentum would swing one way then the other and the outcome of the fight was in doubt right until the end.

    Cordoba-Dunne for me. Just the one I enjoyed most at the time.....I'm a sucker for a good comeback :good

    Certainly had an amazing year of fights though

    I'll get off the fence and say that I still think JMM-Diaz was the best of the bunch. It had it all and the intensity never dropped in the entire fight. Diaz was effective for the most-part and it was an amazing finish by JMM as well. Ortiz-Maidana was crazy as well- the end summed up how mental the entire fight was!:lol:

    Marquez-Diaz for the pure intensity of Diaz against the skill and experiance of Marquez. Edge of your seat stuff and awesome finish.
    Dunne-Cordoba 2nd for ocassion an atmosphere then lopez-Mtagwa for disbelief in what was almost happening

    Cordoba - Dunne was a belter.

    All of them were top notch. But I took a shine to Lopez v Mtagwa. The second half of the fight was incredible. Lopez was nearly gone in the 12th. What a tough ol' ******* Roger is though eh?

    For me Diaz-Marquez, the way Marquez pulled that fight round, literally, when he came off the ropes, spun diaz around and gave him a whooping!

    And that Uppercut KO was cold blooded!

    JuanMa-Mtagwa for me but there's been that many great fights this year that it could be any of about a dozen.

    JMM vs Diaz for me, with JuanMa vs Mtagwa just behind. Also, I have a soft spot for Ortiz vs Maidana, although the finish to the fight was unsatisfactory.

    It's a toss up between JMM-Diaz and Dunne-Cordoba for me. Purely for the sheer drama, I've voted for Dunne-Cordoba

    Like others have said, there's been some quality fights this year :bbb
