In a year without any major fights being overly close, I am wondering which bout y’all think the fight of the year should be? My Picks at the moment would be (in no particular order):
Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano
Kendo Castaneda vs Joseph Fernandez
Jai Opetaia vs Mairis Briedis
Craig Richards vs Joshua Buatsi
If I had to pick one right now, I’d probably go Opetaia vs Briedis. That fight was electric
Wood vs Conlan
Briedis vs Opetaia
Taylor vs Serrano
Taylor vs Serrano
That fight introduced me to women’s boxing
Anyone think that any upcoming fights could be close enough for a FOTY candidate? I think Bivol vs Zurdo could have a shot. Looks to be a matchup of two talented fighters. I hope it’s a good matchup
Wood v Conlan is a great shout
Gets my vote for at least UK title fight of the year. In what has been a very very poor year for the sport.
Any other fights coming up that you think could contend for FOTY? Michel Rivera vs Frank Martin could be good.
What a disappointing year for boxing
It’s weird, I have watched so much boxing, pretty much every weekend. And nothing really sticks out. Been a poor year for sure.
What we should have seen but never got:
Fury v AJ
Crawford v Spence
Tank v anyone half decent
Disappointing year for boxing.
This was a a fight that I proposed was a FOTY candidate, but I’d imagine very few people watched it live. Here’s a YouTube link to the fight. What a banger
