My true fans of the sport.. What a good year of good fights so far.. What are your takes.?
This is turning out to be the best yr in boxing in awhile,even low end fights have been good..
FOTY for me has to be Rios vs Acosta I just loved that whole fight,and it had a great ending..But the match making and risk taking has been great..I think JML vs Salido was upset of the yr imo..

Great fights all around so far man, no complaints here. Much of it going as I thought it would. The Pac/Mosley fight will be a great one too and the super 6 fights will be awesome for sure. I can't wait for Johnson to bust up the garden snake Froch and for Martinez to bumrush someone else in his next outing. Haye Wlad will be sweet as will Bradley adding another L to Khan's record.
So far
Fighter of the year nonito
Fight of the year concepcion v Marquez
Round of the year Ortiz v berto rd 6
Upset of the year Kirkland v ishida
Ko of the year Coleman v Lopez (off the top of my head)

Fighter of the year: Nonito Donaire, definitely. Shame he won't capitalize on it because of the contract bullsh**.
Fight of the Year: Maidana-Morales. Close and action packed, those two never let up.
Upset of the year: Salido over Lopez. Ishida over Kirkland was more an upset but Salido's win impacted the sport far more.
Fighter Of The Year to early to tell...but it's the general consensus that Nonito has the KO of the year. It would tough to see otherwise, matter fact i feel bad for the boxer that has to contend to such a devastating knockout.
Everything else in your post i wholeheartedly agree with.
Fighter of the Year: Donaire I guess but most fighters have only fought once
Fight of the Year: Ortiz - Berto
Upset: Ishida over Kirkland
no way is that over juanma last nite. everything else is on point.
