    Yeah this. Wood v Conlan stands head and shoulders above the rest, wouldn't mind betting it will be FOTY

    can't argue with any of those picks. Conlan-Wood was unreal I doubt any fight this year will even come close.

    I'd have Beterbiev and Shakur Stevenson just after Bivol for fighter of the year.

    Who cares about the fights, we need an award for:

    Best promoter:

    Biggest numbers:

    That's all that matters these days.

    I couldn’t agree more. The obsession with the numbers someone does and the money they make. Who cares, it’s not going to change your bank balance. If a good fight is announced then enjoy it, regardless of who promotes it.

    100% disagree, Wood-Conlan was a whole different level. it was an epic war full of drama from start to finish I couldn't look away for a second. Unreal.

    Whereas Fundora-Lubin had just 1 great round, and was largely one sided, I thought that fight was overrated. just your standard decent fight.
