    We’re already halfway through the year and I think many would agree that this year has been solid. I think this year has already delivered some really good fights. What's been the FOTY for you so far?

    Best fights of this year that we’ve gotten:

    Artur Beterbiev vs Anthony Yarde
    Leigh Wood vs Mauricio Lara 1
    Luis Nery vs Azat Hovhannisyan
    Subriel Matias vs Jeremías Ponce
    Brandon Figueroa vs Mark Magsayo
    Brandun Lee vs Pedro Campa
    Emmanuel Navarrete vs Liam Wilson
    Joe Cordina vs Shavkat Rakhimov
    Gabriel Valenzuela vs Steve Spark
    Akhmedov vs Sims Jr
    Devin Haney vs Vasyl Lomachenko
    Jaime Munguia vs Sergiy Derevyanchenko

    Devin Haney vs Vasyl Lomachenko
    Jaime Munguia vs Sergiy Derevyanchenko
    Artur Beterbiev vs Anthony Yarde

    Would be my choice so far i always enjoy a fight replay when the crowd is live & rowdy makes a huge difference for a second viewing.

    It's too bad that we ended up missing out on Vergil Ortiz Jr vs Eimantas Stanionis. Perhaps the biggest missed opportunity this year. Still holding on hope that we'll eventually see that match up if Stanionis decides to move up to 154.

    I still can't believe we're just 1 week away from seeing the 2 most anticipated fights on the same week. Hope that at least one of them ends up being a FOTY candidate.

    This one for now

    I believe Beterbiev vs Callum also have a chance to be as good(or better) as Yarde fight.

    Joet Gonzalez vs Enrique Vivas, Christian Mbilli vs Carlos Gongora, Fernando Martinez vs Jade Bornea, Katie Taylor vs Chantelle Cameron, Kenshiro Teraji vs Anthony Olascuaga were pretty good fights that should be mentioned.

    David Benavidez vs Caleb Plant and Zhilei Zhang vs Joe Joyce were also pretty good entertaining scraps as well.
