    I gotta say that i thought Jones vs Trinidad would be a class A wheelchair fighter stinker but it was an entertaining fight from round 1 to round 12. Even if neither fighter is going anywhere in my opinion, major props for them for living up to the, what i thought to be, undeserved hype.

    Mitchell-Johanneson was an excellent fight, but I suppose it had the makings...

    Strangely enough, Marquez/Vasquez III. I knew it would be good, but I didn't think it would out do the first two bouts, but it certainly did.

    Campbell-Diaz, thanks in large part to Campbell bringing a level of intensity even his supporters weren't expecting.

    Taylor - Pavlik II. Was very impressed to see "Bad Decisions" make enough technical strides to turn it into a competitive scrap.

    it was an upset but i didnt think it was that great of a fight to watch. after the middle of the fight diaz was hardly fighting back

    i think the unexpected best fight as of recent was cintron vs. feliciano

    Vazquez-Marquez III for me as well...

    The 2nd one is still my favorite and best of the 3 IMO, but I thought there will be a little more boxing and expected the signs of the first two fights to be shown...

    ...and it turned out to be another all-time classic, another fight of the year, another round of the year (4th), another bloodbath, just truly amazing and unbelievable... best trilogy I've ever seen...

    WOW! I've got excited as I typed this, so now I'm off the watch the whole trilogy! :good :thumbsup :hat

    Think I'll watch the third fight myself this evening before I take the tape to the dojo for some of the guys who didn't see it. What a fight. :bbb

    Cotto vs Judah was an excellent one as well. You'll rarely see Cotto in a boring fight. It would be cool if Mayweather and him fought this year.

    Outside of the box, I thought the Antwun Echols/Michael Walker recent bout turned out to be better than I expected. Perhaps because my expectations were so low once Allan Green pulled out, but I think it was a decent scrap.
