    What fights this year have been FOTY material for you so far? Off the top of my head we've had:
    Sor Rungvisai vs. Estrada
    Hurd vs. Lara
    Gassiev vs. Dorticos
    and I guess Canelo vs. GGG 2 would count as well

    Hmm... I would have to say Rungvisai-Estrada.

    BEAUTIFULLY VIOLENT involving high levels of skill.

    Takam vs chisora maybe?(even though it didn't mean a lot)

    Last Saturday's fight would normally be no 1 contender however knowing the judges were rigged notches it down somewhat as a whole since it makes the fight border on a wee script.

    Dogboe vs. Magdelleno deserves mention. That was an all out war.

    What's with the Canelo pic? Did you lose a bet or something?

    In terms of action, Yordan Vs Malikov was a cracker!

    Not really. Dogboe beat that ass. Pretty onesided.
