    Even though this year was abbreviated, and didn't have a lot to choose from, it was there if you went looking for it, and what was essentially a 8 or 9 month year,this Covid riddle disaster of 2020 produced quite a few humdinger.

    So... here's how I ranked them. Probably won't be that popular not having Zepeda-Baranchyk but oddly enough, aside from the KD's the fight still lacked a genuine intensity and passion, something was lacking. Probably the skills, still great match though, I just thought a few delivered something a little more substantial that spectacle and repeated knockdowns. Chon vs. Ivan was like Iron Man, a lot of bang for your buck, but hollow, but my number 1 was more like Logan. It left an impression.


    1. Juan Francisco Estrada vs. Carlos Cuadras II
    2. Julio Cesar Martinez vs. Jay Harris
    3. Murodjon Akhmadaliev vs. Daniel Roman
    4. Jose Zepeda vs. Ivan Baranchyk

    14. Errol Spence Jr. vs. Danny Garcia
    15. Jose Carlos Ramirez vs. Viktor Postol
    16. Tyson Fury vs. Deontay Wilder II
    17. Israil Madrimov vs. Eric Walker
    18. Oleksandr Usyk vs. Dereck Chisora
    19. Jaime Munguia vs. Gary O'Sullivan
    20. Craig Richards vs. Shakan Pitters
    21. Anthony Joshua vs. Kubrat Pulev
    22. Arnold Barboza Jr. vs. Alex Saucedo
    23. Joe Smith Jr. vs. Eleider Alvarez
    24. Gervonta Davis vs. Leo Santa Cruz
    25. Felix Cash vs. Jason Welborn
    26. Joshua Franco vs. Andrew Moloney I
    27. Zelfa Barrett vs. Eric Donovan
    28. Mario Barrios vs. Ryan Karl
    29. Adam Lopez vs Luis Coria
    30. Ilunga Junior Makabu vs. Olanrewaju Durodola

    when you pass, and i hope you have many years left on this planet, i would not be surprised in the least if, during the funeral, somebody whipped out a pre-prepared (by you, before your death) top 10 list of activities you wanted everyone at the funeral to accomplish before they went home that evening.

    Priest puts down his bible and starts handing out paintball guns. “For some reason he wanted everyone to have a paintball fight. Use the head stones as cover.”

    * Munguia-Johnson was great while it lasted.
    * Chocolatito vs Isreal Gonzalez was a lot of fun, even if it was overshadowed by Estrada-Cuadras II.

    Zepeda vs Barenchych was better than Estrada vs Cuadras imo.

    Darragh Foley v Ty Telford on the Tim Tszyu v Bowyn Morgan card was possibly fight of the year for me.

    Gilberto Ramirez v Alfonso Lopez?

    I like that list. I'd add Ananyan vs. Matias. That was a crazy 10 round brawl with both guys throwing crazy amount of punches. I remember that fight because i cashed both the Over 4.5 and Ananyan ML. :pesas:

    * Brandon Figueroa-Damien Vasquez was pretty entertaining during the first few rounds, even though it got uncomfortable to watch toward the end as Vasquez was shipping lot of punishment.
    * Robison Conciciao vs Luis Coria was supposed to have been a total war, but I didn't get a chance to see the fight.

    Another low level fight that I enjoyed but would put nowhere near a list like this was Andrei Mikhailovich v Marcus Heywood here in New Zealand. I guess it can have the title of NZ fight of the year haha.

    Cool fight.
    Likely technical fights without stoppages: these 2 : Dorticos vs Briedis and A.J vs Andy Ruiz Jr. II.
    Ofc I might add some fights too to this list.

    During the next few weeks, with a lack of fights, would suggest you do what you can to watch that one. Really solid fight
