Best Fights so far in 2013

1) Froch vs Kessler
2) Alvarez vs Trout
3) Martinez vs Murray
4) Rios vs Alvarado
5) Bradley vs Provodnikov

Note that I probably would have enjoyed the Bradley fight more if I hadn't already known who won when I watched it. Rios vs Alvarado was a little one sided later in the fight. The top three were hard fought and competitive the whole way through.

I'll have to look those fights up and check them out.

if you realy want to see round 1 classic between two all time greats in there prime id suggest check out hagler-hearns.it don't get much better then that...another suggestion for round 1 action is a fight between 2 good fighters or decent ones in there prime that are beyond far beyond the prospect level check out mancini vs frias.you should definetly see the difference ..

Froch Kessler 2 was gripping. Lebedev vs jones was brutal, Lara vs Angulo was fun. Murray shocked us all vs maravilla.... Personally to me 2013 has had some brilliant fights. 

Cleverly vs Kovalev aug 17. Foty.........

I hope you are right. I love all thinks UK.  I will be rooting for Cleverly. I know he can take a shot, but I think Kovalev has power that is only matched by very few.
