A 12-round war, a perfect knockout and a snoozefest - What was the best fight at Ring IV?

Saturday night saw a memorable fight night take place in the form of Ring IV: Night of Champions. 

Four world title fights took place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with each one worthy enough to headline a fight night of their own. 

From pound-for-pound stars to a former undisputed champion, these four contests had the boxing world talking, but which one proved better than the rest? 

DAZN News' Matt Astbury ranks the four world title fights to have taken place and reveals his number one. 

1. Fight of the Night: Abdullah Mason and Sam Noakes steal the show 

The vacant WBO lightweight title fight between Abdullah Mason and Sam Noakes set the tone inside the ANB Arena. 

Mason was a clear favourite, the American is being backed for big things, and his ability was on show. His fast hands were mesmerising, lightning quick and often taking the wind out of Noakes with shots to the body. 

An accidental clash of heads saw Noakes pick up a serious cut early on, but this did not deter the Brit. He kept coming forward and tried to find the decisive punch to stun Mason who as the fight progressed tired. 

While it was clear that Noakes was going to struggle on the cards, his hunt for the knockout made this contest one you could not take your eyes off with Mason being drawn into trading punches despite being comfortably ahead. 

In the end, Mason would win by unanimous decision and become boxing's youngest current male world champion, but Noakes came out of the fight with an immense amount of credit and will find himself in more major fights in the not too distant future. 

Mason's exceptional ability and Noakes' determination through adversity made it a clear winner in my eyes for fight of the night. Seeing two men go hell for leather for 12 rounds with blood and guts are scenes boxing fans want to see, and I guarantee if the two were to meet again, it will be a must-watch. 

2. Jesse 'Bam' Rodriguez continues route to superstardom with perfect knockout

We are spoiled to be alive during a time where Jesse 'Bam' Rodriguez is gracing the ring. 

His tenth-round knockout win over WBA super flyweight champion Fernando 'Puma' Martinez was a perfect dissection.

Rodriguez has impressive power for a super flyweight and his punches landed with a serious crack. From as early as round three Martinez was on shaky legs with Rodriguez frequently targeting the body. 

With Martinez, who was having to contend with a broken nose, hanging on, Rodriguez put the Argentinian out of his misery with a left hand in round 10 rendering Martinez unable to continue. 

With WBA, WBC and WBO super flyweight titles around his waist, Rodriguez has made no secret that he wants to become undisputed champion before moving up. 

However, once he has achieved this accolade, then the fights which could be made at the higher weights against the likes of Naoya Inoue and Junto Nakatani become a real possibility. 

3. David Benavidez's brutal beatdown of Anthony Yarde

It was always going to be an uphill task for Anthony Yade against WBC light heavyweight champion David Benavidez. 

'The Mexican Monster' was ready for war and he brought it. Always on the front foot, throwing aplenty, Yarde struggled to throw anything meaningful in response. 

Yarde was frequently falling into Benavidez's trap. The American would back Yarde into a corner or on to the ropes, and would then unload. One particular moment in the fourth saw Benavidez throw 18 successive left hand punches, and somehow Yarde was still standing. 

The scars of war were appearing on Yarde. A bloody nose, swollen around the eyes, it was obvious this fight would not go the distance. 

The decisive blow came in the seventh when a Benavidez left hook knocked out Yarde, who was in no condition to get back up. 

Yarde lived up to the billing of making this an entertaining fight, but unfortunately for him this was entertaining because of the serious punishment Benavidez inflicted with the American announcing himself as someone who guarantees fireworks inside the ring. 

4. Worst fight of the Night: Devin Haney snoozing to three-weight world champion triumph

Newly crowned WBO welterweight champion Devin Haney is not flavour of the month following his win over Brian Norman Jr. 

Yes, Haney is a three-weight world champion, but the manner in which he did it was disappointing. 

It all looked so different in round two. A Haney left hook, followed by a one-two, knocked down Norman Jr., so could we finally see Haney's first stoppage win for six years as the 'Dream' looked for the early finish?

Instead, the complete opposite happened. With Norman Jr. shellshocked and struggling to showcase his power, Haney decided to dance around his opponent, throw the more eye-catching shots and nicking rounds on the scorecards. 

While some of the best fighters often make contests boring in order to achieve success, after two entertaining fights prior in the form of Mason-Noakes and Rodriguez-Martinez, surely this would have inspired Haney and Norman Jr. to put on a show. 

For what should have been a huge moment of Haney's career, the fact he opted to cruise to a win rather than doing it in style made this in my opinion the worst fight of Ring IV: Night of Champions and still leaves questions over whether he is still the same man who dazzled at lightweight.
