    Gassiev v Dorticus
    Usyk v Breidis
    Stevenson v Jack
    Valdez v Quigg
    Linares v Loma

    Rungvisai-Estrada is the hands down winner.

    Whyte vs Warthog Browne should have been a closer fight but it was still deserves a mention

    This for me too because I was so convinced that Ortiz would win easy.

    The night I became a believer in Wilder!

    On this subject, have all of matchrooms main events been pretty bad this year?

    Okolie Chamberlain - worst fight of the year
    Joshua Parker - dull, bad judge scoring
    Brook Rabchenko - no contest
    Khan Lo Greco - no contest
    Bellew Haye 2 - awful

    I guess the best on was Jacobs, at least that was competitive

    Fight of the year candidates surely have to be good fights.. that was not a good fight, just Whyte beating up a fat person.
