Ultimately, I voted Lomachenko. I was going to choose Gonzalez, who had a good year, no doubt, but Loma had truly exceptional performances. I don't think he lost 10 seconds this year, he got stoppage victories over good fighters and was completely dominant en route to doing so. He had fighter of the year performances. If he doesn't get it this year, I'm not sure how much more dominant, over good fighters, he'll have to look to actually earn it. I wouldn't gripe if the BWAA give it to Gonzalez or Frampton, altho I can't honestly believe they looked any more the fighter of the year, especially when their opponents earned rematches in competitive fights.
This board makes me sick! Joe Smith jr. is really doing well.....unbelievable -- I don't think I want to vote for any of these boxingscene awards anymore!!!

I voted for Joe Smith Jr because I felt that his stock went up the most from where it was at going into the year.
I voted Frampton, can't argue with Loma who did win in more dominant fashion but I gave Frampton the edge because he beat two good undefeated titlists in two divisions. One of those as a underdog.
