There have been some great fights over the year but which one stood out to you and why?

I have my stand out favourite but won't say anything until I see what other opinions pop up.

rhodes - moore, hands down, for me

are we going to have a debate about whether dunne-cordoba counts as british>?

No arguments from me.

Would like to give a mention to Dodson/Quigley back in March and Paul Samuels/Cello Renda last month. Both excellent fights.

theres been a lot of quality ones like rhodes v moore but the best one for me is easily tony quigley v tony dodson both men left it all in the ring, there was a great atmosphere and it was a great show aswell

No

Would go Dodson-Quigley. That was a banger of a fight

Moore - Rhodes for me

Long after we speak about the others - we'll remember the Samuels v Renda fight.

has to be. the shots they were landing were world class power shots.

ironically, i felt that williams v martinez were flapping, lunging and holding in their over-the-weight thriller. i really liked the changes in momentum of rhodes-moore, the body punching, the compact shots, and the contrast of styles. and the result surprised me a fair bit.

mmmmmm now let me think .....

I'm with the majority of ye. Rhodes-Moore was a thriller and if it had of been on the World Stage it would prob be a good contender for overall fight of the year. Jamie in defeat earned so much respect and hopefully he will have his day at Middleweight, wouldn't mind seeing him come over to Ireland again to have a fight, he has a good following over here.As for Rhodes, he went rolling back the years in that fight and showed he still has 'it'. Two true warriors who would have left everything in the ring that night.

Rogan-Skelton for me followed by Samules-Renda and Moore-Rhodes

I think they're all worthy contenders personally.

The Renda v Samuels was a personal fave.

Short and fierce !

Rogan v Sexton for me...During the Fight,it could have went either way.

id agree with those fights and in that order

this wasnt a british fight but did you see the steve williams vs Slawomir Ziemlewicz it must be up there as one of the best this year
it was on the nigel wright ajose olusegan british an commonwealth title at the olympia in liverpool in june
toe to toe for 8 rounds no holding or clinching an absolute cracking fight i was looking forward to seeing williams again but he hasnt been out since, hees got a good all action crowd pleasing style and looks like he can punch an box a bit aswell

rhodes v morre, then samuels v renda and simpson v truscott 2.

Been a good year, I'd go along with Rhodes v Moore, had it all there.

another not yet mentioned is

Norton v Dolan

To me personnally- I wouldn't argue these were the fights of the year, but I enjoyed them:

David Price V David Ingelby - An interesting debut, in which Ingelby was holding his own well- only for Price to end it with a brilliant one-punch KO.

Anthony Small V Matthew Hall- one of the few fights with a build up that genuinly added to the appeal of the fight.



right now, other than those already mentioned (Rhodes V moore, Renda Samuels , dodson Quigly and Rogan Skelton) I can't think of many more.

ITV shows? Did they produce any * ers?

Edit!! FUNNY!!!

I orginally wrote The work "rackers" with a c in front- means novelty pull-things that bang used at Chrismas, or a good fight - and the computer has censored it!!

The 2 British Fights that most captured my attention more then any others this year were:

1) Ryan Rhodes vs Jamie Moore
2) Martin Rogen vs Matt Skelton

Both classic wars of attrition that ebbed one way then the other and both made it into my Top 10 FOTY as well

1) Victor Oritz vs Marcos Maidana
2) Bernard Dunne vs Ricardo Cordoba
3) Juan Marquez vs Juan Diaz
4) Paul Williams vs Sergio Martinez
5) Ryan Rhodes vs Jamie Moore
6) Juan Urango vs Randall Bailey
7) Brian Viloria vs Ulises Solis
8 ) Martin Rogan vs Matt Skelton
9) Manny Pacquiao vs Miguel Cotto
10) Andre Berto vs Luis Collazo
