5_stars_best_boxing_fights_of_2009_videos_allthebestfights Review: 2009-01-24, Antonio Margarito (37-5-0) had won, the previous year, the WBA World welterweight title against Miguel Angel Cotto (one of the best boxing fights of 2008) and he had to defend his title against Shane Mosley (45 -5-0), who was almost 38 years old and had just lost against Cotto in 2007, then, in theory, Margarito would win against “Sugar” Shane. But in front of 20.820 people (largest crowd ever to see an event at the Staples Center of Los Angeles) Shane Mosley dominated a really exciting fight versus Antonio Margarito, forcing the Mexican at his first knockout defeat. (Before the fight, Officials found Margarito with illegal hand-wraps and four days after the fight Margarito and his trainer had their licenses temporarily suspended). Watch the video!

5_stars_best_boxing_fights_of_2009_videos_allthebestfights Review: 2009-10-31, Joseph Agbeko (27-1-0) was the IBF champion in the bantamweight category since 2007, and he came from the important victory against Vic Darchinyan, therefore, the defense against Yonnhy Perez did not seem to be so difficult, also because the Colombian had never won a world title. But the fight was very balanced and in the tenth round, thanks to a headbutt of Perez, Agbeko went down and lost also the last two rounds; Agbeko vs Perez was one of the best fights of 2009.

5_stars_best_boxing_fights_of_2009_videos_allthebestfights Review: 2009-06-27, Marcos Rene Maidana (25-1-0) had already tried to win the WBA World light welterweight title facing, a few months before, Andriy Kotelnik, but winning a title in Germany is almost impossible… However the Argentine boxer did not give up and decided to fight one more time away from his homeland, against the dangerous Victor Ortiz (24-1-1). “El Chino” Maidana was not widely known, since it was his first fight in the United States, but that day he managed to win versus the phenomenon Victor Ortiz (who was just 22 years old). In the fight Maidana vs Ortiz there have been five knockdown and it could have won the title of “fight of the year” if it had not been stopped in the sixth round (due to a cut over Ortiz’s right eye).

5_stars_best_boxing_fights_of_2009_videos_allthebestfights Review: 2009-02-28, the first fight between Juan Manuel Marquez and Juan Diaz was the “fight of the year” of 2009. Marquez (49-4-1) came from the important victory versus Joel Casamayor and tried to win a world title in the third category of weight since he had won a world title in the featherweight and super featherweight divisions. Diaz (34-1-0) had already won the WBO and WBA lightweight titles in 2008 but he had lost them in the fight versus Nate Campbell who had left them vacant because he tried to climb the welterweight division. The fight had a very high pace and was very balanced until the ninth round when the “aged” Marquez (older than 10 years) knocked Diaz out. Watch the video!

4_stars_allthebestfights Review: 2008-09-15, going to Japan and winning a world title is never easy, and it is even more difficult when you are only 21 years old! Yutaka Niida (23-1-3) had won the WBA World minimumweight title in 2003 during the rematch against Noel Arambulet and in this fight he was defending his title for the eighth consecutive time! The opponent was the young Roman Gonzalez (born in 1987) that, for the first time, tried to win a world title. The perfect record of “El Chocolatito” Gonzalez spoke out, he had won all the 20 fighting including 18 by knockout; in fact also versus Niida, the Nicaraguan phenomenon knocked his opponent out.

Antonio Margarito vs Miguel Angel Cotto full fight Video – 2008

4_stars_allthebestfights Review: 2008-07-26, Cotto vs Margarito was one of the most exciting fights of 2008. Miguel Angel Cotto (32-0-0) was the favorite because he was still undefeated and defending for the fifth time his WBA World welterweight title. But Antonio Margarito (36-5-0) has always been one of those boxers who all try to avoid, he is a really tough fighter who hits very hard and who absorb any blow, in fact he had never suffered a defeat by ko (only Shane Mosley will win Margarito by ko, but in 2009). Margarito knocked down Cotto two times in the eleventh round and Cotto’s corner stopped the fight. (Wikipedia: Cotto’s loss to Margarito has since come under suspicion due to Margarito’s subsequent attempted use of illegal hand-wraps in a fight against Shane Mosley). Watch the video!
