Re: Favourite Five of the last Five
hmmmm, quite a few.
off the top of my head:
Gonzalez - Rungvisai (sp?)
Adrian Hernandez - Poorpramook
Hernan Marquez - Concepcion
Pacquiao - Marquez 4 thats in the last five years ins't it?
ummm a few more. Marquez - Segura would have to be close.
Edit; Froch- Kessler 2 would be very close as well

Re: Favourite Five of the last Five
Whyte vs Del Boy was an entertaining dust up. Throw back a bit to when heavyweights went at it. Though it's a domestic/European level fight
Hosea Burton vs Frank Buglioni for the British light weight strap was a great fight
Crolla vs Barosso at lightweight was a fun watch. Crolla taking a beating but getting thru the storm
Eggington vs Frankie Gavin. Gavin fighting to high at welter but a good local derby clash of styles
Golovkin vs Brook had me on the edge of my seat at all times. Mainly cos with golovkin you know something's gonna happen explosive

Re: Favourite Five of the last Five
Froch/groves x2, I musta forgot.
Re: Favourite Five of the last Five
Both Froch vs groves fights were good. Thought the first was more entertaining. Results hard to take as a Groves fan!
Re: Favourite Five of the last Five
Bradley vs Provodnikov is one of the few true classics of recent years for me that would stand the test of time and make for good rewatching. I've enjoyed a lot of fights, but it's hard for me to remember what have been my favorites of late.

Orlando Salido vs Francisco Vargas and Francisco Vargas vs Takashi Miura are two more that were fantastic and worth mentioning.

The most exciting match : Chisora-Whyte. Definitely...
The rest is questionable, but if I have to choose - #2 would be Martinez-Chavez...

Re: Favourite Five of the last Five
Recently any fight starring Lomachenko is a must watch
Bradley vs Provodnikov is one hell of a war
Golovkin vs Jacobs was a good fight.

Re: Favourite Five of the last Five
Chavez Jr Martinez yea very good fight, I really liked jr v Andy Lee when i saw it too. Maindana v Broner is the one of the most satisfying fights I've ever see haha but I thought Maidana v Khan and Mayweather was a bit better, better clean punches imo.Cent0089 wrote:2012: Sergio Martinez vs Julio Caesar Chavez jr (Carl Froch vs Lucian Bute was also good)
