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

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.

not even close. very good fight, though.

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

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.

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.

This^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Great fun fight,, better than froch-kessler 2, but nowhere near tim-prod which is so far- the fight of the year imo

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

Alvarado-Rios 2 was complete ****.
