Close call for fight of the year. I'...Hey Justin. Close call for fight of the year. I'd have to say Vasquez v. Marquez 2, with Taylor v. Pavlik a close second. We were really blessed as boxing fans with a ton of great fights. To choose one almost isnt fair. Judah v. Cotto, Cotto v. Mosley, and DLH v. Mayweather were also great fights to watch. Fighter of the Year definately goes to either Pavlik or Cotto.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4733087518111255113.post-45560957944630032972007-12-16T10:30:00.000-05:002007-12-16T10:30:00.000-05:00Lee, my numbers reflected an eleventh round knock ...Lee, my numbers reflected an eleventh round knock out, but whatever.

In other words, his command of the fight at that point was insurmountable. Were the cards themselves reflective of the flow of the fight when it was stopped? Yeah, I think so. But as far as individual rounds, I am inclinded to belive Hatton won more than two. Many of the first six were close, with Hatton the aggressor, and Mayweather studying, positioning his pieces. Without judging what Mayweather has up his sleeve, I would think many judges would have scored those types of rounds to Hatton. So in that way, I have to agree with Marc, in that the scorecards could have more accurately reflected a 96-94 score. However, I agree with you as well, in that Mayweather's control of the fight at round 11 was the equivilent to a 98-92 lead. But its all neither here nor there, right? Mayweather is the best, and this discussion is all academic.Justin Hackmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04997525338187682092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4733087518111255113.post-52269847286007906872007-12-11T10:04:00.000-05:002007-12-11T10:04:00.000-05:00Hi Marc, I have to disagree with you.

However, his punches were not landing effectively or with much frequency. His defense was non-effective as well. I have no problems with the judges scoring the fight the way they did, it was a masterful performance by Floyd. Also, the booing of our National Anthem was one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen at a boxing match. If anything the Brits should be standing up and applauding The Star Spangled Banner. If it wasnt for us, they'd be speaking German right now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
