Week 20 Fight of the Week Nominees

Post by gilgamesh »

Some great fights this week

Marquez vs Rey Bautista 2 proved every bit as exciting their 1st battle which to me was definitely one of the top fights of Week 19. This time Marquez survived the tough moments, and took home the win in a very heated rematch.

Jimmy Carruthers vs Lionel Rose was a pretty solid back and forth battle with Carruthers coming out on top in a solid bout.

Jeff Fenech and Somsak Sithchatchawal had a great battle that was surprisingly tight and competitive, but Fenech scored a few knockdowns late in the bout to pull away on the scorecards, and take the win.

Panama Al performed at a higher level this week and was able to take the decision this time in another tough, grueling title bout with the battle tested Terry McGovern.

....and finally. The wonderfully entertaining Wilfredo Vazquez was in another unbelievable war trading knockdowns, and numerous heavy blows with Nonito Donaire before finally emerging with a split decision to retain his IBO Championship.

Those are your choices my fellow Sim Managers. Choose wisely

Marquez did his thing and got the nod this week after a tough loss last week and hopefully we are back on track.

Id love to pick the Marquez v Bautista fight but I cant, Donaire v Vazquez stood out this week for me and I think they deserve it.

Congrats to the fella with the legendary beard who now holds both minor titles under his management.

Cheers 'Frilla, but I wouldn't count on The Kid keeping that title too long. That guy's as inconsistent as they come!

Haha yeah I know what you mean, he is almost as inconsistant as D's ma. She needs to step up and stop letting me hang. Such a tease.

Have to give it to Brown cs McGovern. The fight was scored true 8-7 in AL's favour. But a single round decided the fight. It doesn't get much closer in 15 rounders...

Even though we drew the short straw this time, Wilfredo Vazquez W12 Nonito Donaire was a true war and much like this season's fights, an epic battle :TU:
