“If you want loyalty, buy a dog.” Ricky Hatton
Sorry I'm not sure what you mean. I have a heap of fights that could be considered fight of the year. I think it was a very good year for boxing. Not perfect, but the quality was of a very high standrad in my opinion.
They live, We sleep
I agree. This year had multiple fights for hardcore fans. It wasn’t much of a year for the casual fan though. There weren’t any massive fights that I can remember. We got a light heavyweight unification in Beterbiev and Gvozdyk which was a good fight. We got a unification and great fight in Taylor and Prograis. We got another great fight against a good older fighter and great younger fighter in Inoue and Donaire. We got another FOTY candidate against two top welters in Spence and Porter.
So my headline would be something like:
The year of the hardcore fans
P.E.Dazn flops
It was supposed to come in and take over, but the service is a nightmare(ask Spicoli haha) and it has captured none of the market. They do have a niche in the gimmick fight market, can that carry them?
It was a normal year of prospects winning, heavyweight upset, top fighters not fighting one another, robberies, classic fights and unifications.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

"good old-fashioned hard work is sometimes the answer to success"
I like "P.E.Dazn" flops so far, as per Ron.
Another entry I'd submit is "2019 - The Year Boxing Went Full Hollywood (and we've made up the belts to prove it)"
I mean anything huge. There was no mayweather Pacquiao type fight. Wilder Fury was 2018 so there was no match up between Wilder Fury or AJ. There are always “big” fights for casuals every year, but nothing that significant. Wilder didn’t fight anybody big. AJ and Ruiz 2 was only pretty big because of the upset but not a huge fight. Canelo fighting Kovalev was pushed but again not a mega fight.
So maybe I should say there were no mega fights in 2019.
