    Looking at the lists it seems I've been an admire of the fights of Provodnikov, Rios, Kirkland, Mathysse & PBF.

    Well.... there's "enjoyable" because of the quality of the fight.... and there's "enjoyable" because although the fight may have been horribly boring and one-sided, in involved someone you dislike getting embarrassed. This one was enjoyable to me because of the latter.

    Not a big fight by any stretch, but Matty Clarkson -v- Travis Dickinson was one of the most entertaining fights I've seen ever.

    If they were two big names & maybe fighting for a title, that bout would be considered a classic & talked about until the end of time.

    Most enjoyable watching GGG just dominate the middle weights, I like him a lot.

    I'll now add watching Bradley KO Rios.
    Nothing more enjoyable than watching someone beat the retarded smirk off Rios' face.

    Its crazy, I have a hard time remembering the last 5 yrs but before that its crystal clear I'm guilty of watching Broner and Maidana in slow mo to be honest. It was a very satisfying beat up. Have to put Fonfara v Chavez jr in that category. Matthysse v Molina was great. Guerrero v Kamegai. Salido v Terdsak was one of the most brutal a wars I've ever seen. Porky Medina-Love, Molina-Bey, Willie Nelson- Tony Harrison, Gradovich- Dib, Karpency- Dawson, Gonzalez- Mares, Ishida- Kirkland. I love upsets

    Fonfara vs Chavez was not a great fight but is was very enjoyable. It's funny the way we can watch a delusional fighter get his ass handed to him and enjoy the hell out of it.
