Fight of the Year 2018 so far?

Hey, thanks for nearly wasting half an hour of my time. If I hadn't googled that fight first I might have had to watch the ****.

 

I don't believe I've ever seen so much blood in a fight. It was really fun until it just became ghastly. Round four might be round of the year, but I don't think you can win fight of the year for a fight that was stopped on cuts. The ending was too anti-climactic.

 

Here's a weird one. I saw IB praising it a week or two ago. Massi Tachour vs Renald Garrido. It was maybe the worst slugfest/war I've ever seen. Two journeymen level guys with crap records huge heart and no skill. At first I was impressed by their intensity, until I realized they didn't do anything right and a competent fighter would stretch both of them early. They looked like a couple of kids, and neither had a plan beyond to stand in front of the other swinging wildly. "How is this a ten rounder?" I asked myself. "These guys shouldn't be fighting 8 rounders." But it was France and they were fighting for the domestic title even though they both had 50/50 records. Lots of sustained action if that's all you care about.

 

If Garrido is **** than that's saying something about the state of boxing because he takes just about everyone fairly close, whether the scorecards indicate it or not.

History is littered with guys with no actual style but other assets or attributes that more than made up for it. Are we so soon forgetting the likes of Carlos Maussa?

 

Yeah, he's ****. He's 22-21-2. Boxrec ranks him 251st in the junior welterweight division.

 

Who’s Sugar Shane Robinson?

 

I thought Valdez vs Quigg was extremely entertaining.probably too one-sided to be a top 5 fight of the year though.

 

(Sugar) Srisaket Rungvisai.

 

GGG vs Canelo part deux.

 

Why was it at a higher level? Every fight that's on the menu of fight of the year was with fighters displaying great skill and heart. Just as much as Canelo and GGG.

 

Some of those were robberies and/or close. He's not "****" he's a high level journeyman who on a good day can give even good prospects a hard nights work or even upset them. Perfect example of there being more to meets the eye when looking at a record on Boxrec. Do you think Emmanuel Augustus was **** too? Following this logic he was.

 

Garrido's win over Saunders will always be a personal favourite

 

Robert Helenius DESTROYING the repeated PED offender Erkan Teper.

 

The power taken by the two fighters was awesome and both of them are among the Top 10 P4P fighters in the world right now, the fight had more significance than the other fights mentioned.

 

I saw Augustus fight Mickey Ward, Floyd Mayweather jr, and somebody else. There was more to him, but he's still grossly overrated.
