Personal Top 5 favorite fights from 2024 and 2025?

[Malvado]

Kind of curious what are some people most entertaining fights as of late.

In 2024 mine is:

1. Rodriguez vs Estrada
2. Bakhram Murtazaliev vs Tim Tszyu
3. Ortiz vs Bohachuk
4. Daniel Dubois vs Anthony Joshua
5. Bivol vs Beterviev

mentions like Nery vs Inoue, Kholmatov vs Ford, Ramirez vs Smith, Plant vs McCumby, Haney vs Garcia and Hitchins vs Lemos.

So far in 2025 has a few top fights that were highly entertaining for me, though I can change at the end of the year:

1. Benavidez vs Morrell
2. Ennis vs Stanionis
3. Bivol vs Beterviev II (I think the first fight was more entertaining however)
4. Ortiz vs Madrimov
5. Cruz vs Fierro/Buatsi vs Smith/Russell vs Valenzuela

What's sad though is that multiple fights listed in 2025, are from the same cards. there has been a few hidden few good fights and riyadh has delivered more quality, but 2023 and 2024 had a better start with quantity.

For me, Rodriguez vs. Estrada and Bivol vs. Beterviev are the pinnacles of technique and drama. Although 2025 has not exploded in terms of numbers, Benavidez vs. Morrell and Ortiz vs. Madrimov have left a strong mark.
@ Retro Bowl Hopefully, the second half of the year will make up for it with unexpected classics!

Fulton Brandon

Fulton came back from a bad ko loss

he gave a boxing lesson to the opponent who was his hardest fight

David David was frustrating to watch

Cuban David wanted to be big ick and stood in the pocket

this resulted in the shorter shots faster hands Benavidez teeing off on him

Cuban David didn't use the skills he learned as an amateur to stick & move and increase his odds of winning
