    Joshua vs Ruiz 2: Just Deserts

    It's not mine, but it's my favourite joke about it

    It definitely wasnt fight of the year but one of the most entertaining and anticipated was Pac and Thurman

    Davies Jr/Ritson was incredible. I need to go back and watch a few others before deciding though.

    I didnt think Beterbiev vs Gvosdyk was good after a few rounds it stopped being competitive.

    I mostly agree, however, you must admit that the guy in black trunks defense improved after he got knocked down three times in a row, and eventually that's what won him the fight. Each round, the guy in white trunks' cornerman would send him out saying "put your hands up" and what did he do, kept his hands down. The guy in black trunks kept his earmuffs on and that made all the difference.

    Yeah, he became a bit more cognizant of defense, but it was still awfully sloppy. I've got Taylor-Prograis, Spence-Porter and GGG-SD way, way. way ahead of this.

    Well, time to add Inoue vs Donaire to the list of FOTY candidate. This really has been a strong year for boxing!

    Clear frontrunner now imo. Could have been a Hollywood movie boxmatch.

    FOTY without question. Huge unification and the importance of it too being in the final of the WBSS.
