To some, the race for boxing's male Fighter of the Year ended on May 7 when Dmitry Bivol was announced as a unanimous decision winner over Canelo Alvarez in their fight for the WBA light heavyweight championship at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - MAY 07: Dmitry Bivol throws a left at Canelo Alvarez in the fifth round of their WBA light heavyweight title fight at T-Mobile Arena on May 07, 2022 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Bivol retained his title by unanimous decision. To some, the race for boxing's male Fighter of the Year ended on May 7 whenIn defeating Alvarez cleanly, Bivol beat the man who at the time was.
Given the performances of these six men, it was difficult to put anyone into the Fighter of the Year race who fought just once.. He won by scores of 117-111 twice and 118-110, with Ramirez never in the fight. Haney won the undisputed title by going to Melbourne, Australia, and dominating George Kambosos Jr. Because of a contract stipulation, he owed Kambosos a rematch in Australia and beat him by an even wider margin.
In breaking the logjam, Fury is the first eliminated because he faced the lowest level of opposition among the contenders. Rodriguez is out because two of his three wins came over fighters who have seen their best days. Neither of those wins, though, was as big as Bivol’s win over Canelo. And given how thoroughly Bivol dominated Ramirez, it proves that the win over Alvarez was no fluke.Three-way battle for Female Fighter of the Year
Taylor was 2-0, as well, winning a split decision over Amanda Serrano for the undisputed lightweight title, as well as taking a one-sided unanimous decision over Karen Elizabeth Carbajal.
