    just wanted to see peoples views on which fight they think has been the best this year. For me lebedev v jones followed closely by Bradley v Provodnikov both absolute *******s

  5. Lebedev fight made Froth v Kessler a joke mediocre PPV fight with no surprises at all.
     
  6. Oh my god Froch Kessler was mediocre for ****s sake


    And I'm fed up of people saying Kessler was washed up,it was a high quality fight with loads of action in front of a great crowd


    If that doesn't get you going you are following the wrong sport

    Bradley v Provodnikov or Jones vs Lebedev. Alvarado vs Rios would come in second just because i enjoyed the first fight more but maybe i'm being harsh there.

    Maidana vs Lopez was looking good until the stoppage but it was too short to make the top.

    Kessler isn't washed up but he is well on the slide (he was talking retirement post fight) and Froch looked to have lost something too, he looked old.....In short it was a couple of decently matched old men settling a score, that doesn't make it a bad fight

    Froch vs Kessler wasn't even close to fight of the year, Matthews vs Crolla II was better ffs

    Rigondeaux v Donaire was quality.

    Also, even though it wasnt really a fight in terms of back and forth action Mathysse v Peterson was really good to watch

    I didn't think froch looked old personally. Thought he looked as if he's getting better with age. Just personal opinion mind you.
