Toss up btx Hurd vs Lara and SSR vs Estrada Both fights more competitive throughout than the admittedly exciting Gassiev-Dorticos, imo.
The problem with Dorticos is A he never his range and B he only used the 1-2, if he took a step back pumped out the jab and worked the body, it could been a different fight but I knew he wouldn’t and he paid big.
Usyk vs. Briedis Sor Rungvisai vs. Estrada Lomachenko vs. Linares Kaikanha vs. Ruenroeng Hooper vs. Quinlan Gassiev vs. Dorticos Warrington vs. Selby Hurd vs. Lara Wilder vs. Ortiz Povetkin vs. Price Broner vs. Vargas Jacobs vs. Sulecki Beltran vs. Moses Alexander vs. Ortiz Worst match: Okolie vs. Camberlain & Tete vs. Narvaez
Just watched Dorticos-Gassiev. Really don't see Dorticos having much success at all, he barely landed a flush power shot, mostly jabs and some shots to the body but not really full power ones (except some in r11). Have it a shutout to be honest. Good fight though.. Very exciting.
I dunno if I'd call it my FOTY, but I did think it was more competitive throughout than Gassiev-Dorticos and would land higher on my top fights list.
As much as I love Usyk (I'm a huge Gassiev fan too), Gassiev could drop the Statue of Liberty with that left hook of his. This is one of the most violent KOs of all time. I don't even recall a prime Tyson sparking someone out in such violent fashion from a single shot and his KOs were X-rated. This content is protected
