Lampley proclaiming Kirkland/Tapia is FOTY

FOTY is Tyson Marquez vs. Giovanni Segura.
No way does anything top that this year in my opinion. It'll get robbed though by a Showtime or HBO fight. Like how Yaegashi-Poorpramook did in 2011. ESPN went crazy when Dan chose that over Ortiz-Berto.

I certainly think the fight was simmering to that point where it could have been considered for FOTY, but Kirkland took over and the bout ended one sided so i do not think it can be FOTY. If Tapia was in there like in teh early rounds then may be.
Kirkland has been stopped and down before so if Tapia kept landing the bombs it would have been much more exciting, I just think the fight reached a stage where the winner was a forgone conclusion and it was just a matter of time.
Lampley and Kellerman are drama queens, they always try over hype things, ive even hear both talk about future opponents when the fight is still there to be one which is very disrespectful to the challenger.
When you watch HBO you always know who the commentry team want to win.

It was a smart move on Kirkland to split with gbp. Now he can fight nobody's in the division for that HBO money.
