What was the best boxing fight you saw in 2013? I would have to go with Tim Bradley Vs. Ruslam Provodnikov. I didn't think Tim Bradley could brawl like that, Both fighters were throwing down for their lives. Bradley got a gift from the ref when he judged him for a slip when he clearly got knocked down. Bradley fought threw that fight with a concusion he got in the first round. It was def a great fight and Arum put it on or free to viewers so everybody could of seen this fight . HBO also rated this the fight of the year. I can't think of a better fight myself except maybe gennady Golovkin Vs. Gabe Rosado. Rosado got beat up really bad by golovkin and was bleeding like nothing I have ever seen in boxing!
The best part was when his trainer was yelling at gabes dad " Gino I have to stop it" Then gino didn't want it stopped then the trainer says " Gino your sons gonna die man I gotta stop it" it does not sound as funny typing it, but if you can watch that fight on HBO on demand that part is hilarious-IMO. I have never seen so much blood pouring out of a fighter before GGG fucked Rosado up so badley

Bradley/Provodnikov.
Maidana/Lopez.
Alvarado/Rios.
Top 3, more or less in that order. There were others that were bloodier, brutal, etc.... , but those were the ones I remember the most from the year. They were very sporting fights.

Tim Bradley vs Provodnikov.
-
Alfredo Angulo vs. Erislandy Lara

Boxing is dead. Boring watching a couple pillow-fisted midgets, slap eachother for 12 rounds.
Not to mention that it is corrupt.
-
maidana vs broner was the most satisfying
-
Froch vs Kessler, Froch vs Pascal, Froch vs Kessler II, Froch vs Taylor, Froch vs Groves - the guy is a fucking animal when it comes to FOTY candidates.
Be a big loss when he goes.
-
the last james kirkland fight, brutal. surprised his opponent didn't die on the way to the hospital.

I was underwhelmed to be honest, he shipped a ton from Tapia in the opening round and showed zero head movement.
Molina was handing him his fat ass until the DQ.
He was offered a million dollars to fight Canelo and he said no, that it deserved more money - then he goes to jail. Then comes back and gets sparked cold in 1 round by Nobuhiro Ishida :-\

Noticed you left out the Ward fight.

I was underwhelmed by Froch's performance and subsequent gift win vs Groves.

Says the dude with a Tap Out hat twisted to the side, brim so straight it turned into a U, sporting two to three 90's tribal tattoos that covered up a arm band, wearing a small affliction/Ed Hardy(on clearance) T, along with some new religion jeans w/ a touch of bling and factory tears.

That was fucking brutal ;D

Bradley vs Provodnikov , no doubt Bradley was concussed so bad said his speech slurred for months
Abdusalamov vs Perez , Abdusalamov had to be put into a medically induced coma the follow day.
Berto vs Karass , another brutal fight. Both Berto eyes pretty much swollen shut. Very old school feel.
-

yes that was very brutal also. I don't think his opponent was ready for that type of combat. James was ready to die in that ring.

Great year for boxing many good fights , I choose Bradley vs Provodnikov

Berto vs Guerrero was the fight where Berto's eyes were both swollen. He looked like ET! That fight was in November 2012 though.
-
Nihito Arakawa vs Omar Figueroa was fight of the year IMO. With Bradley vs Provodnikov being second.
Agreed with whomever said that Broner vs Maidana being the most Satisfying. Cool win for Chino.

yes I know when that fight was.
This fight i'm talking about was this year vs Karas
-
Either one of provodnikov fights.
-
Either one of provodnikov fights.
I picked the bradley fight but provadnikov fucked alvarado up bad! Mike will lose some vison in that left eye,Alvarados eye was fucked up! Nicademus did you make that fight live?
-

That was a great fight as well. Kirkland was getting rocked at the start and then just flipped the script and beat the shit out of tapia. Kirkland was landing some nice clean flsuh punches,fucked tapia up bad. Where has Kirkland been? Has kirkland had a narcotics problem or been in trouble with the law why does he dissapear so often?

LOL- fuck the cage and all that tap-out gear. I wouldn't wear that shit if somebody paid me.

Guerrero fought real dirty in that fight just holding berto with one arm and tagging him with his free arm, what a shitty ref!
-
maidana vs broner was the most satisfying
I underrated maidana! Broner got beatdown very badly,but props on Broner finishing the fight.! I know nobody had seen broner fight anybody good and look at the outcome. I like Broner and thought he was going to be a pretty good fighter till he fucked up and jumped 2 weight classes since then Broner has been garbage. Broner did everything wrong and moved to fast for somebody his age,Broner should of stayed at 135 lbs for alot longer and then jumped to 140lbs for awhile, broner should is along ways away from being a welterweight. That was years away Broner fucked it all up and made the jump way to quick.
-
great fight, groves was robbed.
Froch looks past his best.
-
I was screaming blue murder, but decided to watch the finish over and over again without any sound. I am absolutely convinced Groves was finished and away to take one hell of a battering. I swore blind Groves was robbed however i have changed my mind, it might not be the same for everyone but just watch those few seconds in silence over and over, Groves was done IMO.
FOTY for me.

He was ahead on the cards.
The ref should have waited for a knock down.
Stopping a fight when the dude is ahead in a title fight is cruel.

Just watched the fight for the 1st time , one of the worst stoppage I have ever seen , total robbery.

Bradley / Provodnikov
Honorable mention:
Rios / Alvarado ( I )
-
Best one I saw was two midget girls fighting in thongs I forgot their names.
-
Frochs a hard tough man but hes at best average, he used to call Calzaghe out all the time and whilst he couldn't punch anymore due to his brittle hands he would have been schooled for twelve rounds, very under rated boxer, still think he would have beaten ward easily in his prime, who is the best by far at SM at the moment, Groves is average to and no certainty to win the Froch rematch,hes limited skillwise but hes tough and durable.
Best fight little Tim getting pummelled by Provadnikov
-
This year?
Yes Oct. 31.
-
Groves was robbed ? :D
Yes he was, ref should be banned for life .
-
Groves got fucked
-
Guerrero fought real dirty in that fight just holding berto with one arm and tagging him with his free arm, what a shitty ref!
Ref was shitty in Broner fight (Broner was pushing--no point deduction despite multiple warnings, using forearms in an attempt to choke Maidana, etc.), but Broner still got his ass beat.

HBO- 2 all week long best fights of 2013........11:00 PM EST

Got to disagree.
Jeff Lacy was the biggest bum champion at 168 in many a year - and Joe was dragged to the arena to fight him.
He withdrew from fighting brian magee with just 3 days to go, to head off and rematch Mario Veit, whom he'd already beaten in a single round and was absolutely dreadful.
Fact is he was shit scared of Froch, like he was shit scared of Glen Johnson 8 years ago and withdrew from 3 scheduled fights with him. He never rematched Robin Reid who beat him by 2 rounds either.
He flogged lacy after getting him there lets be honest I agree with the whole British fighters ducking the best theory, Reid troubled him no doubt, Mcgee give me a break no one wanted that fight, it would have been mismatch, Johnson style wise he would have had problems with I will give you that, but get off the Froch train, hes nothing but a brawler with a granite chin, Calzagie wasn't the the second coming but he would have schooled him like ward did, don't tell your one of the guys who actually thought that fight was competitive, he looked like a drunk on a Friday night swinging at thin air

Yeah Broner got like 17 "warnings" ::) in that fight.
Even the Latino fellas corner was calling out the ref towards the end telling him to "be fair"
Very poor refereeing that fight, IMO

So really what is your point? That Froch is a bad man? Because he is-most would agree that he is very good. Not great, but good.
Or are you arguing that he's the best in his division? Which he is clearly not and probably at least two levels below Andre Ward.
As far as the Joe C comparison-He beat the Groves of his era decisively.
-
You forgot to mention his dream match up against Manfredo Jr, what a showing ::)
-
......The reality is Joe was good, but he was no great himself............
Well, at least you finally admitted-in a not so direct way-that Froch is just a good, solid fighter.
I was starting to think you actually thought he belonged in someone like Andre Ward's class.
