What, the Fighter of the Year did not give us or wasn’t even mention for the Fight of the Year? Personally, the FOTY should be based on great fights. When the tough gets going, truly character takes over. No way Clenelo should have been selected FOTY considering he dropped two belts before defending them and had a fight where the opponent confessed that he did not prepare and took the fight just for the money. Plus he called everybody that thought he was going to win ******.

I agree! One of the best fights I ever saw also did not make FOTY. It’s also no coincidence that the fight had one of the best referees; Smolger. If you have not seen Delvin Rodriguez vs . Pawel Wolak I, please do yourself a favor and do so. In that fight Smolger does not separate them A SINGLE TIME. That is no exaggeration. Not a single time does Smolger step in and separate them in a 10 round fight. It was so noticeable that even Atlas gave him props.

I saw it live on ESPN and it was a treasure and a fight I’ll never forget.

taylor Prograis was another excellent purchase by DAZN. Their foresight and matchmaking was excellent

I thought donaire vs inoue, Williams vs Hurd and porter vs spence were all better.

For me, GGG - derevyanchenko and Spence -Porter.

I also liked Pacquiao -Thurman and Taylor -Prograis.

Good fight but not worthy of best. You can't have a FOY if you don't get 100% from both fighters. It was clear to see GGG was suffering from a cold. His breathing difficult for him from the beginning. His energy was drained and that effected his power I'm sure. I don't think you get a FOY candidate even when one side is handicapped. Just my opinion...

By Keith Idec - Gennadiy Golovkin admits he thought he'd be in for a short, easy night when he sent Sergiy Derevyanchenko to the canvas with just over a minute to go in the first round of their middleweight title fight. Golovkin had no idea then that he was about to engage in the most grueling fight of his celebrated career. A determined Derevyanchenko and a gritty...

Kovalev vs Yarde I was on edge of my seat rooting for Sergey the last few rounds were like a movie. Porter vs Spence and Ggg vs Derevyanchenko come close. Also Hooker vs Ramirez.

[Madison Boxing]

Golovkin is the most entertaining fighter in the sport and has been for some years now

Entertaining fight but there were others I'd put ahead of it.
