I see it as a contender for FOY, but my vote still goes to Vasquez-Marquez II. Or, even I. Either. These two fights left trails of evidence of brutality: blood, swollen faces, broken nose...
I favor the rematch over the first fight only because there was one element of drama that the first meeting understandably lacked: Vasquez seeking revenge. After all, he had KD'd Marquez in the 3rd round of the first fight before he quit on his stool sufferring from breathing problems caused by a severely broken nose.
I also had found Pavlik-Miranda as a contender. But that certainly now pales in comparison to the fight we just saw.
