Jessie “Bam” Rodriguez. What a fighter! The child has unbelievable expertise and maturity for somebody so younger. He’s very entertaining and likewise will get the KOs, which may be few and much between within the lighter division. A future pound-for-pound expertise, for my part.

I’ve loved watching Josh Kelly this yr. After being crushed conclusively by David Avanesyan in 2021, he has modified his mindset and returned nicely with three good wins – particularly the one in opposition to Troy Williamson, who was unbeaten and looking out spectacular. Josh managed that British title battle from the primary spherical to the final utilizing good expertise and timing. He received with ease and made Troy look unusual

For me, “Bam” Rodriguez has been an actual pleasure to observe. I like his fan-friendly model, and respect the technicality of his assaults behind the refined shifts of his ft and feints. He’s my breakout expertise of 2022, and I’m trying ahead to seeing what he produces in 2023 and past.

“Canelo” Alvarez. He’s a throwback fighter who dared to be nice in opposition to Dmitry Bivol. Regardless that his trilogy battle with Gennady Golovkin was a couple of years to late, he’s nonetheless one in every of only some fighters I’ll get up to observe at silly o’clock within the morning. His second battle in opposition to GGG is among the greatest I’ve ever seen – actually at 6am!
