[THE REED]

Good stuff.

[Russian Crushin]

Yea im good with that. Expect the fact that Doniare didnt technically have a KO

I think we can all look past that I mean montiel had seizures on the mat if the ref actually saw the state he was in instead of pointing donaire over to his corner he would have certainly waived the fight off.

Agee with pretty much everything, I might argue for Tyson Marquez vs Concepcion I or Ortiz vs Berto for FOY. We did however see a couple of Robert Garcia's guys showup pretty weak at the end of the year, but who else would take trainer of the year?

I think it will be considered. I was also asking the same question when I saw a KO of the year awardee that is similar to this. I forgot which year.

Pretty spot on. Upset of the year is the only questionable one.....because Kirkland was still coming off of that prison stint and it's not like he was looking great.

I guess the fashion in which he lost made it a huge upset. But someone like Amir Khan or Juanma Lopez who were legit like P4P top 10(arguably) guys at the time they lost is more significant to me.
