Review: several of the most respected boxing magazines voted the fight Jamie Moore vs Matthew Macklin as “fight of the year”, and it was definitely one of the greatest fights of 2006. Jamie Moore (24-3-0) defended for the second time his British light middleweight title (BBBofC) against the young and promising Macklin, who had lost just once, right in his previous attempt to win the British light middleweight title (against Andrew Facey).

2006 best BOXING fight – John Duddy vs Luis Ramon Campas – Video fight
Review: John Duddy vs Luis Ramon Campas was valid for the IBA middleweight title and was one of the best fights of 2006. “Yori Boy” Campas had an incredible record of 96 fights, including 88 victories and 8 defeats, and in his long career had already faced fighters like Oscar De La Hoya, Fernando Vargas, Raul Marquez and Felix Trinidad, while his opponent John Duddy, younger than 8 year, had only 17 professional fighting, but all won… Watch the video!
2006 best BOXING fight – Oscar De La Hoya vs Ricardo Mayorga – full fight Video
Review: the fight between Oscar De La Hoya and Ricardo Mayorga was one of the most spectacular of 2006 (three knockdowns). De La Hoya was not fighting for nearly two years, since losing against Bernard Hopkins in 2004, while Mayorga came from the victory versus Michele Piccirillo with which he won the vacant WBC light middleweight title. Watch the video!
Manny Pacquiao vs Erik Morales 3 full fight Video – 2006
Review: the third and final fight between Manny Pacquiao and Erik Morales lasted just 3 rounds, but it was equally spectacular. Pacquiao, after winning the second match against Morales had also defended his WBC International super featherweight title against Oscar Larios, while Morales had not faced anyone in the meantime. But Erik “El Terrible” Morales was no longer as dangerous as during their first fight…fast finish and three knockdowns. Pacquiao vs Morales 3 was valid for the WBC International super featherweight title. Watch the video!
Victor Ortiz vs Andre Berto I full fight Video – 2011
Review: 2011-04-16, if Ortiz and Berto had fought throughout the fight as the first six rounds, this match could be a candidate for Fight of the Year 2011 since both fighters went to the canvas and the fight was very exciting, but the second part of the bout is not as spectacular as the first one: four stars. The undefeated Andre Berto entered the fight with a record of 27-0-0 while Victor Ortiz had a record of 28-2-2. Berto vs Ortiz is valid for the WBC welterweight title; they also faced each other a second time on April 30, 2016 (=Berto vs Ortiz 2). Watch the video!

Review: 2011-04-16, very exciting fight with both fighters went to the canvas and four breathtaking rounds (from fifth to eighth period): Orlando Salido vs Juan Manuel Lopez is definitely one of the greatest boxing fights of 2011, four stars. The undefeated “Juanma” Lopez entered the fight with a record of 30-0-0 while Orlando Salido had a record of 34-11-2. Lopez vs Salido is valid for the WBO featherweight title (Lopez’s third defense).
