The fight of the year 2018 ?

[ValMar]

Which ? Why ?

[KiwiRider]

As a fan, the fight I most enjoyed watching was Linares Vs Loma. High skill level, both well proven champions- no question. Fight swung both ways, plenty of action. Beautiful footwork, defence and offence. Variety of punches and combinations. Basically all I could ask for on the sport of boxing- and it finished outside the judges hands

I'd have to concur. Can't think of any fight this year that was more satisfying in all areas.

Theoretically there still can be something else interesting, but I guess, I can make a top 10.

1. Fury-Wilder
2. Canelo-GGG 2
3. Loma-Linares
4. Gassiev-Dorticos
5. Usyk-Briedis
6. Povetkin-Price
7. Wilder-Ortiz
8. Joshua-Povetkin
9. Helenius-Teper
10. Kownacki-Martin

Fury-Wilder is inarguably best for me because of its intensity and clash of styles nature.

I always forget fights from the first few months, whenever this time of year comes around.

I did enjoy Estrada vs Sor Rungvisai, and Valdez vs Quigg.

I'll have to give it some thought.

Hurd/Lara?

Around the top too.

Parker vs Whyte is my FotY.

Way better than fury/wilder. That wasn't even good.

Wilder Fury was anything but a great fight. I wouldn't even watch it a second time.

I don't know, how that's possible, I was watching it almost every day at previous week.

Could be because I watched it a week after it happened and after reading all the posts, so I never had any emotion in watching it the first and last time.

[gilgamesh]

Lara vs Hurd or Gassiev vs Dorticos were my favorites of the year.

Wilder vs Fury wasn't even the best fight Wilder was in this year. Wilder vs Luis Ortiz was better than that.

One dramatic moment doesn't make a fight of the year. If you want to call it "Boxing Moment of the Year" yeah maybe you got a case there, but it certainly wasn't the greatest all around fight. Not even close. I watched it twice, and wouldn't watch it a 3rd time. Fight of the Year type fights are usually worth multiple views, and are always fun to revisit.

loma vs linares was really nice....high level boxing, competitive , some drama, an ending with bang. easily tops something like wilder vs fury imo

Had it all, it's my fav of the year, unless something incredible happens from now until Dec 31.

my vote goes to Joshua vs Povetkin because it was an exciting HW world titles fight, Champion vs a top 3 (and surely at least top 5) fighter, Povetkin was a huge underdog in the eyes of most of people but after the first 3-4 rounds i really started to believe that he can win this fight...and them boom, Joshua eventually knocks him out. both fighters showed skills in this fight, it was a intriguing fight.

I didn't see the first several rounds really compelling me that Pov could actually win. Maybe I should watch it again. It was certainly more entertaining than Wilder/Fury. Still no comparison to loma vs linares.

everyone's opinion is subjective of course, when watching AJ vs Pov i had a strong feeling that a surprise is a distinct possibility, i had no such a strong feeling during Loma vs Linares (though it was quite a close fight of course), someone could feel otherwise.

No doubt Dog! Nice to have differing opinions with no name calling! LOL!

Gassiev vs Dorticos was a great fight too, 2nd place for me, Loma vs Linares at #3

I can see that. Somewhat close fight ending in stoppage. I'll have to watch that one again!

[Boxing Prospect]

Tanaka vs Kimura

If you've not seen it give it a watch, a high skilled, 12 round back and forth. The more skilled man getting involved in a war. Absolutely breath taking fight and ultra competitive.

The end of Hurd/Lara was at least equally dramatic.
