    I think both men showed amazing chins, they landed some heavy leather

    Joshua - Klitshko
    Beterbiev - Gvozdyk
    Inoue - Doniare

    Honestly, I thought Chocolatito-Estrada II was much better than Inoue vs Donaire. And I didn't think Inoue vs Donaire was the best fight of the last five years anyway.

    I didn't watch it guys, got exams in a week's time.

    I heard it was a tremendous fight but there was a wide scorecard. Did I miss anything pivotal?

    Indeed Choco vs Estrada was more intense and competitive. :chuck:

    There were 2 clear rounds in the whole fight, the rest could have gone either way, I personally thought Choco won 115-113 but you could give it to Estrada

    Golovkin v Derevyanchenko is underrated
    Taylor vs Prograis
    Hurd vs Lara is underrated
    Katie Taylor vs Delfine Persoon (Probably the best female boxing match I have seen)
    Charlo vs Korobov (I may be remembering this one wrong)
    Thurman vs Porter
    Beterbiev vs Johnson
    Badou Jack vs Stevenson
    Badou Jack vs James Degale
    Gassiev vs Dorticos
    Makabu vs Kudryashov

    This was better than Inoue vs Donaire because both are evenly match in terms of age and being similar pts of their careers. Doniro was past his prime and Inoue is hitting his prime years.

    Inoue vs Donaire is so overrated its not even funny. It was an entertaining fight and Donaire did better than expected but it was a one sided fight for the most part.

    Estrada vs Gonzalez II was much better imo.

    No, but it was as good as their first fight. Probably just below fight of the year quality, but definitely a runner up and nominee.

    I think if I had caught Inoue vs Donaire live it would have been electric, as a replay it's good but didn't immediately come to mind as the best of the last 5 years.

    Hmm, good question. I really enjoyed the us fight. Two excellent boxers in a back and forth battle like their first fight. Not sure if it’s best in five years but was my favorite fight in the past year or so. It’s too bad someone had to lose. I was pulling for a draw for the first time in my life. I normally hate draws but this one was so close. Hope they do it again.
