    This is just a list of fights that happened and nothing more. Most of those fights was horrendous mismatches and circus attractions.
    You could probably count on one hand how many was decent but it does appear to be picking up somewhat.

    I think this has been the worst year since I have been a fan. Absolute dog**** in all honesty.

            I think Dierry Jean's going to do better than expected against Crawford. People wrote him off after the Peterson loss but that was far from a blowout. It was a good fight.

              what? Peterson looked leagues above....but Lamont just can't pace himself for sh.it....wastes like half the round doing less than he should at the most untimely moments....like he is landing easily inside and proceeds to step back, reset, waste 30 seconds and then get inside again......if Peterson wasn't an idiot he would've destroyed Jean and Garcia.

              Crawford will probably fight cautious as hell for a few rounds, then open up and steam roll him and get even more overrated, like against Abreu's son(Dulorme) .

                I had it 8-4 Peterson. Far from a blowout. That was Jean's first real test in the ring and I think the experience he gained from that fight will carry into the Crawford fight.

                Crawford/Jean is being slept on. It's going to be good.

                  2013 was a great year in recent times. Especially the tail end.

                    I agree, less volume but more quality. The end of 2013 had a must see fight almost every weekend.
