fight of the year: Guerro Berto/ 12 rounds of non stop action. great fight!
Ko of the year: JMM-PAC 4 hands down!
trainer of the year: Garcia/Nacho For the job they did gettin JMM prepared for Manny!
Fighter of the year: Donaire fighting 4 times this year. and 4 notable fighters. Beating them convincingly. also doing it making the boxing world know hes doing it clean! And willingly doing so!
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.
Yea but they are lower weight fighters and completely unknown. This is easily the Upset of the year but Lopez-Ortiz should win it
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.
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.
