Fight Of The Month January 2018

Post by dWd »

Three candidates here: Oleksandr Usyk V Mairis Briedis, Adam Kownacki V Iago Kiladze, and maybe my favourite Isaac Dogboe V Cesar Juarez.

I like theses two posts, perhaps they can be made 'stickies' and replaced by new ones every month. The previous month can be moved to the other section that features old fights/fighters. Just sayin

Lack of interest could be an issue :(

I know, january wasn't a stellar month in boxing, and Usyk V Briedis was clearly the best fight of the month, or was it? How many times have you watched it, personally i've only watched it the once, whereas i've watched the other two multiple times, I'd never call it boring but a 12 round fight with few significant strikes or memorable moments where someone got rocked and the combatants seemingly settling in to 'not lose' didn't make me rush to watch this one back, a lot like GGG v Canelo, a great fight i really wanted to watch again but just never found time to. Whereas Dogboes left hook clinic against a tough mexican who never looked for a way out was a joy to watch over again, and of course 'baby face ' Kownacki' block everything with your face to break your opponents will style is not recommended, but it's fun to watch. So is fight of the month really as clear cut as you thought?
