Saul Roman vs Jose Pinzon deserves a strong mention. I don't know if it was the best, but it was definitely the most exciting fight of the year so far, imo.
This is the fight don't miss it... if you have lost it, you have to remedy
It's definitely worth mentioning. I liked it better than Bradley-Provodnikov, and it's on par with Lebedev-Jones and Figueroa-Arakawa.
I wouldn't object too much about Barker-Geale being FOTY. So many rounds could have been scored either way, they were dead even throughout, it was an action fight, and it had a Round of the Year candidate that was incredible. The competitiveness is what sells the fight for me. I can't believe how even they were.
Bradley-Provodnikov, which seems to be the frontrunner for most, didn't have that same even feel. Either Bradley dominated the round, or Prov hurt him.
I thought it was too sloppy to be honest, fun fight but nothing special.
Same thing I said about Froch Kessler 2. Rios Alvarado or Tim Ruslan got it just for HBO. Showtime got Figueroa vs the Japanese Samurai and I really enjoyed Lara and Perros fight. Crazy **** went down in that 1.
