The_budweiser Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 (edited) NOT sure what sizes are left per t-shirt design. But I'll do my best to send the winner their size. CLOSES 16TH SEPTEMBER Your Fav fight so far in 2020 and why? Edited September 9, 2020 by the_budweiser tshirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cableaddict Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 (edited) Hmmm. Not a lot of really close, high energy fights this year, so far. I really enjoyed Ramirez - Postol. Every round was close, and both men had high output combined with reasonable skill. Joe Smith Jr taking out Alvarez was the highlight of the year for me, so far. - Not a great fight, exactly, since Smith was so dominant, but so so sooooo satisfying!

LondonRingRules Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 --- Big Ty epic busting up Deyonce is what I was gonna say, but have to check to when the fight was. Just Another Joe Named Smith breaking a very good Eleider Alvarez before near blasting him out of the ring sweet concussive music. Haven't been many fights to choose from. Btw, this new format compresses the text into a narrow column with no spacing of the paragraphs resulting in a long run on sentence look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you still using a phone from 2005 Bobby!? :haha: As per the topic: I really can't think of many fights from the year that really have stuck out and I have missed a lot that were deemed to be good match ups and never got to catching up to them. So i suppose I'll have to say Whtye / Povetkin. A big shock upset and probably KO of the year highlight reel ending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selij Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Purely for the result, not the spectacle, has to be Wilder-Fury II from late Feb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davemurphy Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 The ONLY fight I had any real interest in at all was Fury-Wilder II. I just haven't kept up on it the last five years or more, so usually when I recognize a fighters name, it means one thing.......he's an old guy fighting the young star, simply hanging around for a payday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kite1345 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 I think my favorite fight so far has been Eric Donovan vs Zelfa Barrett. Not really important in the grand scheme of things, but I do love the smaller fights. Donovan had been quietly dominating the fight, but Barrett landed a shot that turned the whole thing around. The ending didn't come right away, but it was inevitable once that shot landed. Donovan showed a lot of heart, but the shots that ended him would probably end most people. It was one of those fights that made me appreciate than anything can happen in boxing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamasadlittleboy Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Too late to enter but I'll throw these out anyway: Akhamdaliev Vs Roman is probably my favourite so far in terms of quality Povetkin Vs Whyte made me warm and remember why I love this sport Rentaro Kimura's debut was something that genuinely excited me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerald Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Favourite (though clearly not best) is Fury - Wilder II; just for the nature of the performance and what it represented in terms of the recent history of the heavyweight division.

WelshDevilRob Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Julio Cesar Martinez defending his WBC World Flyweight title against Welshman Jay Harris. The fight took place, in February, at The Ford Center at The Star, Frisco, USA. The young Martinez is raw but powerful and Harris has, somewhat, been overshadowed by countryman Andrew Selby. But, Jay has kept plugging away winning Commonwealth & European belts. I covered Jay's debut, in 2013, for Ringnews24. The fight, with Martinez, was fantastic and Harris battled hard against the kid wonder. Harris survived a knockdown in the 10th and showed his heart by fighting back. Great fight - full of action.

Cableaddict Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 (edited) Julio Cesar Martinez defending his WBC World Flyweight title against Welshman Jay Harris. . Good call. I completely forgot about that fight. Just watched it again. Martinez reminds me of a prime Chocolatito. But Harris was fearless, and stood in the pocket trading. Great stuff.

LondonRingRules Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 --- Winner a done deal after the Jose Zepeda/Ivan Baranchyk shootout over 5 rds with 4 KDs apiece. Seldom do the cards in such a drama fest align so perfectly with the last KD unofficial since it was the KO punch. Also Bayless missed another KD he ruled a slip, but as good as the scoring was, Zepeda took it out of their grubbies. Ivan and Jose ended up side by side in the hospital where they were taken for testing with all released in good health. Win/Win/ win for the fighters and boxing. https://boxrec.com/media/index.php?title=Fight:2540599 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seldom do the cards in such a drama fest align so perfectly with the last KD unofficial since it was the KO punch. Wow. Good call. Reminded me a bit of Hagler -Hearns. Rockem sockem, but with really high skill level from both men. Easily FOTY so far. Also KO of the year, with very little chance of it being topped by New Years.

Ton Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Agreed Bobby. What a fight!! Really glad Baranchyk is okay, it looked pretty bad for a while there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javier Ortega Nieto Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 No fight has thrilled me in a major way. Possibly for being a surprise and an excellent KO I would choose Whyte vs Povetkin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxeador Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 I think Gervonta Davis vs Leo Santa Cruz would be the KO of the year. Watching it live It sounded like a gun shot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cableaddict Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 (edited) Zepeda - Baranchyk is still a prime contender, but - Juan Francisco Estrada vs Carlos Cuadras may have overtaken it. Boy HOWDY ! Amazing output. Great back&forth. Both men on the canvas at various times...... ------------------ Lipnets-Clayton was damned good, too, though not quite at the same level.
