    British FOTY according to BBBC was
    Langford v Welborn.
    I preferred Warrington v Selby myself.

    My bad. Rios Alvarado 1 occurred in 2011, and both 1 and 2 of that series are included on your list for 2012. Minor quibble to an overall valid point. 2012 was a solid year with a couple of instant classics.
    Pep-Saddler 2 was clearly the best of the series. Some moments of brilliance in 3 and 4, amid all the wrestling and mauling.

    Loma v Linares.

    It was beautiful to watch.

    Fury vs Wilder for me, On display we had....
    Skill and a boxing masterclass (Fury)
    Brutal KO punches (Wilder)
    a physics-defying recovery (Fury)
    and a shot in the arm for the HW division!!

    Shame about the cards though.

    My top 3...Lara vs Hurd, Lomachenko vs Linares and Fury vs Wilder (12th round drama and masterpiece painted by Fury played a big part in my choice) Special mentions to Gassiev vs Dorticos, Zappavigna vs Saucedo, Estrada vs Rungvisai, Takam vs Chisora.

    GGG Canelo 2 by far for me. The result ruins it though.

    Fury-Wilder second.

    Just saw Valdez vs Quigg. Not a great fight. I was kind of bored actually, mostly by Quigg who looks like a thoroughly British class fighter.
