SO far that is the front runner according to me. Is it to the rest of you guys?? You had everything involved in that fight action, elite level fighters, dramatic finish, controversial decision(according to some, that 12th round made me give it to Vasquez), and of course blood and guts type of fight. If you dont think so what fight is ahead of this one and which others are possible FOTY that can surpass this one.
Wow i was expecting people to say it wont hold up especially since its so early in they year but it looks like people are finally seeing the greatness in this trilogy.
It would be hard to beat that kind of performance by other fighters, the fight was close, both score knockdowns and not only that, they showed great technical skills at the same time, 12 rounds of nonstop action.
Here is some other fights that have a shot, if they happen. Cotto-Margarito Two heavy hitters who are big names and always come to fight. Diaz-Katsidis Do i even need to explain this one? Pac-Diaz Would probably be a complete domination but it would be interesting and action packed. Andrade-Miranda One fighter has awesome power the other has good power and an Iron chin.
Even if those fights you listed played out to full potential. I still think Vas/Mar 3 will get it. There was just so much in that fight that you cant describe, truly amazing.
