Erskine - Boulton was the only fight on the list that made me get out of my phone and text my friends saying "WATCH THIS FIGHT". I could barely pick my jaw up after watching that scrap, it was just bomb after bomb with plenty landing and neither man giving an inch. It was a pleasure to watch.

Gotta go Boulton and Erskine here. Both are heavyweights, but not super heavyweights and are therefore able get more speed into their haymakers. The bombs also tend to look a little less telegraphed. Those two were throwing punches with serious intent. That both were standing at the end is surprising.

For Kaleta, maybe.

Going with the AHL boys fighting for there places in the NHL and Rosehill and Lessard didn't disappoint in a good old fashioned ding dong.

I like me a fight where there is no mutual ending to the bout, I like it where they keep going til neither of the two guys have anything left. Went with Benn/Iginla, although I think Orr/Engyll was over-looked.

Horton/Smith was tough to watch thanks to that jerkoff Jack Edwards

I really like the Erskine/Boulton fight and the old school feel that came with that one - but the Smith/Horon fight was the only one that got me standing up and cheering for BOTH guys, especially when Horton started coming back after falling behind early to Smith - the only fight this year that nearly gave me a boner. That was my fave for this season.

All the fights here had something great about them, but I loved the Erskine vs Boulton fight.

My pick is definitely Boulton-Erskine. Just an all-around brawl with bad intentions. Sure, MacIntyre-Ivanans was a huge KO, but for pure action, the Boulton-Erskine was better.
