Geale -Barker fight of the year canidate?

maybe 6th is a good candidate for round of the year...

It was a one-sided mismatch, the wonder of the fight was that despite getting brutalized and knocked down several times, Arakawa ended the fight on his feet. How anyone can call that fight a FOTY candidate truly boggles the mind. :pat: Because he gave back wht he got. Yes he got beat but was right there the whole time fighting back. I found it exciting

that fight sucked doe It was a one-sided mismatch, the wonder of the fight was that despite getting brutalized and knocked down several times, Arakawa ended the fight on his feet. How anyone can call that fight a FOTY candidate truly boggles the mind. :pat:

No. Aside from Geale's punch to the ribs it didn't look like either of them could really hurt each other and most of the rounds followed the same pattern: lots of punches thrown, lots of punches landed but very little effect being seen. I haven't really watched boxing for long and maybe I look for different things to most fans. I prefer a chess match and/or a fight that swings between the fighters.

As of right now Figueroa Jr. vs. Arakawa is FOTY :boxing: that fight sucked doe

one fight which i think was FOTY caliber yet no one mentions it is Bey-molina. It isnt the FOTY but it is definately up there, two clash of styles, both guys had theire moments then a dramatic come from behind needed knock out finish

very exciting and entertaining fight. It would not win FOTY but it definitely is that caliber of fight

As of right now Figueroa Jr. vs. Arakawa is FOTY :boxing:

Very good fight but that's about it. Too many breaks in action (mostly by Geale ducking his head low and Barker pushing him down a tad). A better candidate would be round of the year, I believe round 6 where Barker was knocked down, barely got up, looked like Geale was about to finish him then suddenly Barker hurt Geale and came back. This ^^ That 6th round was something else, I've been trying to think of a time a fighter has got up from a big body shot like Barker did to win the fight...

It will def be mentioned as one but it really has a chance of winning round of the year, when the body shot happened and Barkers comeback at the end, epic stuff.

I knew this was going to be good and they truly delivered,but there has been better fights already this year.

Alvarado-Rios 2 was complete ****.

Would have to be in the top 15 I've seen this year, I'm sure on others list it's higher and some much lower, depending on how much boxing you are watching. I just finished watching it 2 mins ago and I thought it was a really good fight, but not FOTY

No! Fun fight and great eb and flow but not FOTY. This^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Great fun fight,, better than froch-kessler 2, but nowhere near tim-prod which is so far- the fight of the year imo

It was a good fight but far from fight of the year because Barker even though he put in a great effort never had Geale really in trouble and Geale when he was being outworked didn't put it all on the line to keep his title. Bradley vs. Provodnikov was better.

No, we've already seen Prov/Tim, Alvy/Rios and a few others. This doesn't quite reach those heights but a good fight none-the-less and the KD added drama.

"Candidate" as in top 10-20 fights so far this year, then of course.

not even close. very good fight, though.

its on the top ten list, and tis fight of the month for sure. foty is a big ask, especially seeing as 1/3rd of the big fights are yet to come.

No! Fun fight and great eb and flow but not FOTY.
