Myself and some huge fat lad went at it for about 10 mins outside a chippy in Crookes, Sheffield the other week. Trust me, that was the fight of the year.
The Alvarado-Rios rematch wasn't anything close to being a great fight. Everybody wanted it to be because of the first fight and the hype leading up to the second fight, but anyone who wasn't at least mildly disappointed with the second fight is fooling themselves.
HBO will attempt to promote and market their third fight by endless comparisons to the Gatti-Ward trilogy, mind you - another grossly overrated series that the boxing media have manufactured.
Figueroa vs Arakawa was one sided fight. I thought Alvarado beat Rios way too handily to be fight of the year. Bradley vs Provknikov was great, but it missed a lot of back and forth action within the same round. Either Provknikov dominated the round or Bradly dominated the round I thought.
I'm not sure how comfortable I am calling Barker-Geale fight of the year, but I found it to be the most competitive entertaining fight of the year.
I agree. Lara vs Angulo was FOTY imo. Then Bradley-provodnikov

Correct me if I have understood wrong, but have you just implied that the Gatti Ward trilogy was overrated?
