    Come on tunney, enough.
    Your reading comprehension seems to be poor.

    You need to read my above replies more carefully.

      Too bad Glowacki's name got messed up because he is the easy choice for this poll.

        Geez. wish he'd put his biases in check when doing this thread.

        Seriously, Garcia looked like doodoo. There were long periods of time where Garcia's sloppy offense made Malignaggi's defense look god damned impressive, and that is saying something. Malignaggi was ducking and sliding out of the way of shots and I was just sittin there like dam, didn't know he had anything left in him, either that or Heredia got him on that good ****. Each time Garcia did land it looked like it hurt though, and the stoppage was good but in no way did he look as good as he did at 140. Frankly he's never looked more 1 dimensional to me. I think his resume is a bit underrated so I hope and expect more from him in the future, but he is not a serious contender for Boxer of the Month and his inclusion would not be a valuable addition imo.

        I wouldn't have minded if he and Mosley were both not on the poll, I think that is a better option than having either of them on it.

          What Glowacki did to Huck after taking a count early was ridiculous.

          I definitely didn't see it coming. Not many fighters have that heart.

            Mosely beat Mayorga, Don King, and put Jin on the ropes all this month.

              Went with Glowacki. Otherwise would've gone Santa Cruz, Usyk might be the weirdest looking dude in boxing.

                  My vote for Glowacki. He did one of the biggest upsets of the year.

                    If that is your opinion, fine. Others may have a different opinion and should have the opportunity to express it. It's a FOTM poll FFS, leave the BS biases out, put everyone in that won a major fight, let posters choose from everyone and move on.

                    I mean is the above really something to argue about.

                      You say I left Garcia out I'm biased against Haymon fighters, but in the poll there are FIVE Haymon-managed boxers:

                      Santa Cruz
                      Glowacki
                      Bute
                      Derevyanchenko
                      Jacobs

                      Stop being such a crybaby.
