I completely don't understand the hype that Donaire is getting. His best win this year was over Mathebula. That isn't saying much. (Nishioka sucked by the time they fought.)
Quality>quantity
Mares, Marquez, Froch, and Ward had better years.
FOTY: Rios - Alvarado
KO : Marquez KO6 Pacquiao
Fighter: Donaire
Round: hmm dont know...Martinez Chavez Round 12 was crazy...i was standing up in the moment Chavez KDed Martinez like this cant be real...
Come on guys, Marquez-Pac was NOT the fight of the year. Sure it had drama but there was about 2 rounds of sustained action.
Rios-Alvarado is still the CRYSTAL clear fight of the year. I can't even fathom how it can possibly be debatable.
I found Rios-Alvarado pretty monotonous. It was fun, but it didn't do much for me. I never got out of my seat for any single time.
Fight of the year--Alvarado-Rios
ko of the year--Marquez (runner up Randall Bailey)
trainer of the year--Nacho
fighter of the year--Marquez (runner up Ward)
Fight of the year : Rios Vs Alvarado
KO of the year : Marquez Vs Pacquiao
Trainer of the year : Garcia
Fighter of the year : Martinez
Going to have to think a little longer on Round of the Year.

Exactly..that fight delivered everything it promised!..I mean who doubted it would be anything less than a toe to toe WAR?..and it was just that!..although I still feel the stoppage was a bit premature..the 2 took and gave hellacious bombs!..I would love a part II but seems pretty pointless for Rios at least..
It is not a crystal fav at all. Viloria-Marquez and especially Juanma- Salido was as good if not better
Last year the fight if the year was Berto-Ortiz i think, even though it was only good for the first 6 rounds and then pretty boring for the other 6
I think there is enough knowledge among the prominent selectors at Ring, ESPN, and here to overcome that. Lopez-Ortiz isn't in the same ballpark as the Jaro win.
I dont know, it's far fetched IMO. It happened in the beginning of the year with 2 very unknown fighters. I'd bet 95% of people dont know either guy around here.
I hope you're right but i highly doubt it
Fight of the year
Still wanna say Lopez vs Saildo II

Fight of the year: Pacquioa vs JMM
ko of the year: Pac Marquez
trainer of the year: Garcia
fighter of the year: Donaire
Round of the year: Martinez-Chavez Rnd 12.
I originally though Marquez should get fighter of the year, but Lampley convinced me it should be Donaire because of his 24/7 testing.
There were also better overall rounds than Chavez/Martinez Rnd 12, but no other round was anywhere near as exhilarating considering the context.
I cant respect the opinion of anyone that says Berto-Guerrero was fight of the year. It was ugly and painful to watch.
Fight of the Year- Marquez Pacquiao V
KO of the Year- Marquez
Fighter of the Year- Nonito Donaire
Yea but they are lower weight fighters and completely unknown. This is easily the Upset of the year but Lopez-Ortiz should win it

Does Marquez deserve Fighter of the Year based just on the Pacquiao win?
Nonito Donaire won a vacant title, unified against another champion, and then beat the linear champion of the weight class. (he also retired Arce but that doesn't mean much.) He did more overall IMO.
This but I'd have Garcia as Trainer.
Wonjongkam-Jaro is the Upset of the Year by a canyon.
