    Inoue ascended a weight class and obliterated TWO WORLD CLASS OPPONENTS who had never been stopped in a round a piece. In the second one, he threw exactly 2 punches, landed exactly 2 punches, and secured the KO of the Year. Knocking out a world class opponent is difficult enough. Doing it the way he did was just obscene. The quick kills actually hurt Inoue's case for Fighter of the Year because world class opponents aren't supposed to get smoked out like that, so it's not collectively as impressive as Inoue putting on a brutal clinic before getting a stoppage. Could also easily be Usyk, but my vote goes to Gojira.

    On the surface, it looked like a good, tough, competitive fight. But if you KSAB, you'd understand that this was a BRUTAL WAR despite the lack of blood. It's no coincidence that Rungvisai and Estrada both looked like they lost a couple of steps in subsequent fights. They took each other's prime. This was the only fight of 2018 where my stomach was turning for 12 rounds.

    Special mention to Dillian Whyte for a succesful year with highlight reel knockouts and knockdown.

    Underdog in each one.

    Lol I didn’t have it as the most brutal one sided fight in history that’s for sure, but that’s exactly what it was.
    Was it worse than canelo fielding tho? I think so, what ya reacon?

    I rated McDonnell to be honest he had a good chin just look @ the first fight with Kameda.

    I've seen him from when he won the Euro belt in France to now,I think he was underrated as a boxer.
