    For a back and forth slug fest I really enjoyed Chisora vs Whyte.

    Both decent chins but neither with big power - recipe for a gruelling fight

    I liked Brewster vs. Meehan too, but probably some on here a bit better.

    That was definitely a barn burner of a fight.

    I would give anyone a thousand dollars if they could sit silently and watch every second of Byrd-Williamson without taking their eyes off the screen.

    That had to be the worst heavyweight title fight of all time. The absolute worst. Nothing happened. In any round at any point.
