    Clarke v Wardley 1
    Barrios v Ramos
    Ortiz Jr v Bohachuk

    I haven't watched much undercard action this year but I'm sure there's some absolute bangers there.

    Chisora-Joyce (yeah yeah, a gatekeeper vs a has-been, but a damn good fight regardless)
    Rodriguez-Estrada (just about the nastiest liver shot I’ve seen)

    I’ll be pushing this one forever as the most absurd random fight night undercard fight I’ve seen.

    imagine a one-round reenactment of Foreman-Lyle, only sloppier. This is what awaits you.

    The amount featuring at least one Brit/Irish will be disproportionately high

    Even Allen vs Fisher the other day is another contender and Whyte vs Tetteh too

    Because as I keep telling everyone the tiny majestic isle of Great Britain with it's minuscule population produces the fiercest and most iron-jawed warriors in the world.

    Ball v Ford
    Usyk vs Fury (both in different ways)
    Beterbiev v Bivol (elite chess match and imposition of will)
    Bohachuk vs Ortiz Jr
    Plant v McCumby - really enjoyed this tho was expecting a snoozer so maybe need to rewatch it

    On the less skillful side but just crazy entertainment value

    Clarke v Wardley 1
    Chisora v Joyce

    We were going for fights that were at least remotely competitive.

    I never seem to keep a list.

    For me the Ortiz fight is probably on top
    Crawford vs Madrimov was pretty good and technical

    There was that robbery the Irish fighter vs the hard punching guy from Colombia on probox TV that was a good wild fight can't remember the names
