[jakcha]

announcers of the millenium.

[Mr505burque]

best fight Ive seen not named Corrales/Castillo

[mervotheperv]

this is the greatest fight in the history of pro boxing

[macwit2cs]

@mervotheperv This is what u call a rated R fight, round two is just pure

[regismo]

You can't see THAT in heavyweight, our days ! When you see Klitschko fights...

Frenchman Monshipour and Thaï Sithchatchawal deserve all our respect !

[primeboxers]

@regismo you never see this in heavyweight.

[regismo]

@primeboxers Well... May be you should say "You never see this in heavyweight ANYMORE" but in the past, we could see many great fights.

[primeboxers]

@regismo no, never have there been such high pase in the heavyweight divition, lots of great fights, but heavyweight cannot fight at this pace for 12 rounds.

[lemonite1]

Somsak was an odd fighter. Although he was tall, he bent low and kinda put his head right in front of his opponents gloves.

[KillerSaiyan]

fuckin midgits

[themjbuu]

the best

[Mir398]

Mahyar is a wonderful man!

[hisalat]

he is thai, man!

[langfield4scotland]

yeh but monshipour is franco-iranian.

[moskovi22]

as a iranian,im so proud of him.

[findusfunk]

Jesus Christ, I counted SIXTY uppercuts thrown by Sithchatchawal in Round 1. WHAT THE FUCK.

[mattsnow81]

first time i see this fight. First time I see so much uppercuts! He is kinda predictable eh? But he gave one hell of a fight!

[solene95600]

mayar un grand monsieur dans l'esprit et dans le coeur on dit ke les boxeurs n'ont rien dans la tete foutaise ce gars la est un homme formidable

[littlehagler]

je suis parfaitement d'accord avec toi, les boxeurs n'ont pas rien dans la tête ils ont juste des *ouilles!

[C2J45]

I can't wait for Saturday because Mahyar Monshipour will fight for the WBA World bantamweight title against Anselmo Moreno.

Personnally, I hope he will win, 'cause it would be a great comeback for him (and because I'm french, of course)...

[mhagler91491]

This fight reminds me of Quiroga-Akeem, a little less skill but the non-stop punching and the heart of the two is reminiscent of the great encounter. This is a real classic.

[jeli79]

yes they would ! Remember were tought to take a punch and to fight at the same pace for hours ! MMA guys are really good! But on the lower weights in boxing there are great athletes unlike the heavyweights that moved on to other sports! And conditinionig is great! Also they punch and most of them come from very poor background so they can seriously fight! Unlike been middle class and learning to wrestle or mma and not been very athletic! MMA is good but u can see some athletes there!

[Pickulus]

These fags wouldnt last one roun in UFC.

[mhagler91491]

You wouldn't last one round in a spelling bee. Librado Andrade would give George St. Pierre a horrible beating if they ever boxed and Andrade would get beaten up bad if he ever fought in an MMA match-up. It doesn't really matter how good they would do in the other sport.

[ngonzo85]

What the fuck does MMA have to do with this classic. I enjoy both sports and hate when ignorant ppl post dumb shit like that. Give it up. lmao at the spelling bee comment!

[Gregorius144]

Fuck man... my face hurts after just watching this...

I do wish the commentary was in English though. I mean, obviously I know what's going on, but am I the only one who just really enjoys hearing in-fight commentary?

[avalino79]

frenchie... that body attack is going to kill u. that guard isnt going to score u points...

[johnnyfromda805]

these guys need to stop being pussies and throw more punches

[JimothyMuhammadShow]

AHAHAHAHA i love the irony of your comment.

[Doderhultarn89]

the man who speaks at the end, is that monshipours father?

[LOIMIK]

Best fight of 2007. Monshipour wants to get is revenge next year, can't wait..

[ferrerocd]

this Thai guy was so handsome, i like him.

[BOULTON666]

"Ohlalalalalalalala" indeed!

[divooneh007]

is the mahyar guy iranian (persian)?

[yacineW12]

spectacular,epic of a fight..and the good thing..no clinches

[Teupupaschere]

Mayhar is french with Persian origins. He is from Bam I think.

[bert666666]

He's from Bam, in Iran, and now has the french nationality, one of the best decision took by french! we should be proud to welcome this guy in the country, but it took a long way for him to reach it, and that is a shame for us. Check the whole story on the net. nevertheless, what a fight, and two awesome fighters.

[nima90]

Yea mahyar is persian, he was born in tehran

[mexikostadt]

Does Mahyar sound French when he speaks? or does he have a Persian accent?

[amoyoy111]

yes, though i think he was born in france.

[Bonesteoca]

Awesome attitude, these guys don't clinch.

[JJJJNobody]

Thanks for posting this fight, this is just pure madness from the first to the last second.

Merci pour ce post, c'est l'un des meilleurs combats qu'il m'a jamais été donné de voir. Sinon le meilleur ! Un pur délice wow.

[mervotheperv]

not only is this the 2006 Fight of the Year, it's the best fight i've ever seen

[minhajk21]

pretty sick

[Jewels2k6]

wow. maybe as good as hearns hagler 1st 2 rounds

[adamdaly4]

what a scrap! Pity Mahyar retired after this.

[densuo]

After a fight like that? Hell I would too.

[wdj749]

Mahyar retired!? Wow. Then again, Somsak lost his title in his first defense after this fight.

[C2J45]

Mahyar Monshipour said some months ago that he really thinks about a comeback in the future. He really wants to come back, but he wants to see before all if he's able yet to win great matches, because he doesn't want to come back to make defeats, he really wants to fight for the victory and the titles...

[wdj749]

I guess he saw what happened in Somsak's first title defense.

[C2J45]

In fact, he always said when he was champion that he would retire at his first defeat. And that's what he did. But visibly, the passion is stronger than all and he really thinks about a comeback, but the complicate situaition of professionnal boxing in Francemakes it harder. Even Brahim Asloum can't defend his title because of this situation...

[C2J45]

I've made a visit on the Mahyar Monshipour official site, and I've seen the details of his come-back: in fact, he named this comeback "for the honor". He will make, at first I think, but I'm not sure, 4 fights. The first of these fights will occur against a european top-10 boxer on December 1st @ Poitiers , his hometown, and the last will be on June 2009 @ The Futuroscope. After, I don't know what he will do, but if he's satisfied by these fights, he 'll maybe try a title shot, but not sure...

[carbert68]

Non-stop action. Thanks!
