    No mention of Lomachenko VS Linares

    For drama i liked Povetkin VS Price (especially as Price fought out of his skin)

    Dogboe VS Magdeleno was a WAR

    Valdes VS Quigg very good fight

    Gassiev VS Dorticos (brilliant gameplan by Gassiev and brutal KO)

    Martin Ward - VS James Tennyson (A good fight and comeback by Tennyson)

    Yordan VS Malikov (A WAR!)

    Going into the fight was suppose to be a slugfest!!! It deserves a mention for KO of the year actually not FOTY

    For me, its Suriyan Satorn (Kompayak Porpramook) vs. Siridech Deebook. It seems like nobody has seen it, because nobody took notice, when they fought...

    Bone vs Krael warrants mention. So does Warrington vs Selby.

    I can never do these, I think its because the most recent one just tends to seem better than the one before because its clearer in your head. I bet if I started going through them in reverse order then my opinion would be different to what it is right now.

    But trying to put that aside, I THINK, Usyk-Breidis stands out to me

    Agreed Browne looked like he had just eaten a succulent Chinese meal.

    Gassiev - Dorticos lacked competitivness for me, the only factor that was making everyone wow was that Cuban chin and pondering if Dorticos going to last it or not. Otherwise it didn't make the mark for me.

    Briedis - Usyk was way more competitive for me so i'd put that on the short list.

    Obvious FOTY for me is Linares - Lomachenko - thrilling fight that had everything - speed, movement, technicality, knockdown for one side and knockout for other.
