4_stars_allthebestfights Review: Vic Darchinyan, although he belonged to the flyweight division (now bantamweight), is a spectacular boxer since he always seeks the Ko, as well as the fight with Irene Pacheco. Both boxers were undefeated in 2004 and for Darchinyan this was also the first fight in the U.S.A., but Pacheco was the man to beat, since he was the holder of the IBF flyweight title by more than 5 years.

5_stars_allthebestfights Review: the third fight between Marco Antonio Barrera and Erik Morales was the fight of the year of 2004 (Ring Magazine) and one of our favorites. They had won once each, the first fight won by Morales (fight of the year of 2000) and the second one by Barrera. The “Baby Faced Assassin” Barrera was at his first fight in the super featherweight division and wanted to snatch Morales WBC title. Marco Antonio Barrera vs Erik Morales 3 was a real war, this is boxing! Watch the video!

2004 best BOXING fight – Danny Williams vs Mike Tyson – full fight Video

5_stars_allthebestfights Review: Mike Tyson was one of the most spectacular boxer ever, and his fighting were always exciting, even when he faced Danny Williams… Tyson was 38 years old, he didn’t fight for almost a year and a half and probably underestimated Williams, boxer who had never fought for a world title but was younger than seven years, was an advantage for height, weight and reach. Mike Tyson vs Danny Williams was the penultimate fight of Iron Mike. Watch the video!

2004 best BOXING fight – Diego Corrales vs Acelino Freitas – Video full fight

5_stars_allthebestfightsReview: 7th August 2004, Acelino “Popo” Freitas defended his WBO lightweight title (won against Artur Grigorian a few months earlier) versus Diego “Chico” Corrales. Freitas was undefeated in 35 fights and was a very dangerous boxer for his speed, but Corrales was not an easy opponent, since he had suffered just two defeats against boxers like Floyd Mayweather Jr and Joel Casamayor (then Corrales won the rematch with Casamayor). For Corrales was his first world fight in the lightweight division but his pressing and heavy punches were impressive… Watch the video!

2004 best BOXING fight – Miguel Angel Cotto vs Kelson Pinto full fight Video

5_stars_allthebestfights Review: Miguel Angel Cotto vs Kelson Pinto was a battle between undefeated since both boxers had a perfect record: 20-0-0 for Cotto, 21-0-0 for Pinto. Miguel Cotto was the favorite, since he had already won against strong opponents, but Pinto was a tough and not easy boxer for his height (9 cm more than Cotto) and his heavy punches (19 Ko on 21 wins!). Cotto vs Pinto was valid for the vacant WBO light welterweight title. Watch the video!

2004 best BOXING fight – Felix Trinidad vs Ricardo Mayorga – Video full fight

trinidad_vs_mayorga_video_fight_pelea_allthebestfights

5_stars_allthebestfights Review: Felix Trinidad vs Ricardo Mayorga has been one of the most spectacular fights of 2004. Trinidad was not fighting for over two years and in 2001 suffered its first defeat against Bernard Hopkins, while Mayorga, in 2004, had already fought once defeating the modest Eric Mitchell (first fight of Mayorga in the middleweight division). It is interesting to see the fight between Trinidad and Mayorga also because they have a completely different style of fighting, but in this case the technique will win. Watch the video!
