    I've liked some of the fights/performances so far.

    Thurman-Garcia, Joshua-Klitschko, GGG-Jacobs, Lomachenko-Sosa, Pedraza-Davis, Mikey-Zlaticanin, Frampton-LSC 2, DeGale-Jack.

    4 months in and already 8 fights I can say I liked? Pretty good, this year is averaging 2 good fights per month. Is it wishful thinking that the year will end with 24 good fights I personally liked? I know there's always a little drought in boxing where there's no fights but so far so good.

    It's all about preference, maybe there's already been over a dozen fights that others have liked. But so far those 8 stand out for me.

      ITs been excellent so far. Lots of good matchups, big fights that have delivered in the ring, lower level fights that have been great.

      Plenty of good fights made or in the pipeline as well.

      Almost every other weekend there has been something to look forward to.

        I'd personally also add in Gonzalez vs Rungvisai, Carmona vs Cuadras, Valdez vs Marriaga, Roman vs Miura, Berchelt vs Vargas

        Good performances from Linares (vs Crolla), Khurtsidze (vs Langford), Lemieux (vs Stevens), Hurd (vs Harrison), Bivol (vs Clarkson), Charlo (vs Hatley), Breidis (vs Huck), Indongo (vs Burns), Yafai (vs Conception), Gvozdyk (vs Alvarez), Eggington (vs Malignaggi).

        All fights they were expected to win, but the performances stood out.

        Also on a lower level we had wars with Williams vs Smyle, Poxton vs Boy Jones Jnr, Chisora vs Whyte, Jaime Conlan vs Cardoza, Breazeale vs Ugonoh and even Bellew vs Haye delivered in his own way.

        Been a great year to be a fan of the sport. Im sure there is more ive forgotten as well.

            We'll see if fighters who fought once last year will fight at least twice this year. Thurman, Porter, Broner, Peterson, Jacobs, Quillin, Lara, Jermell, Andrade, Stevenson, Degale, Berto, Bradley, etc.

              I would add Berchelt-Vargas too, I was under the impression that fight happened late last year, I had forgotten. I also liked Bellew Haye, which I also forgot about.

                No lie

                DeGale-Jack, Golovkin-Jacobs, Thurman-Garcia, Porter-Berto, Gonzalez-Sor Rungvisai, Klitshcko-Joshua, and fighters like Gervonta Davis getting a title are the highlights of this year so far with Canelo-Chavez Jr., Crawford-Diaz, and Brook-Spence happening before June and Ward-Kovalev 2 and Rigo back in the ring and we aren't even halfway through the year yet
