Comments Thread For: Lomanchenko Named Fighter of the Year by HBO's The Fight Game'

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

In its previous episode, HBO Sports moved Vasyl Lomachenko into the top spot on "The Fight Game with Jim Lampley" pound-for-pound list. On Wednesday night, Lampley announced during the show's newest episode that Lomachenko was chosen as the show's "Fighter of the Year" for 2016. Ukraine's Lomachenko (7-1, 5 KOs), the WBO world super featherweight champion, had a spectacular 2016 and edged Carl Frampton, Andre Ward, Terence Crawford, Manny Pacquiao, Roman "Chocolatito" Gonzalez, Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin for the award, according to Lampley, HBO's longtime blow-by-blow announcer.

Lol,no sh.it.

Cant argue with that. There a couple of fighters that deserve the honor this year. Its pretty much just opinionated

[Redd Foxx]

I had him leading mine, but could understand arguments for Frampton, Ward, and Crawford. Loma probably would have cinched everyone's if Walters didn't just up and quit.

Hell yes The Africutioner v.3 earned it. Too bad hes not a GBP fighter and instead will end up wasting his talent fighting trilogies with garbage men and security guards signed to 18 month Top Rank contracts.

I can get down with Loma winning FOTY. Crawford and Ward are also solid... However, why is GGG even considered? Beating Brook and Wade should not get you consideration, no matter how much you like the performances. Hell, Charlo's wins over Trout and JRock were more impressive than that. This is the first time I have heard GGG's name being uttered for this award. Just weird...

This had nothing to do with them pushing Lomachenko at all.

Is a joke hope

Plus sky sports all the way.

Andre Ward is the FOTY.. hands down. .wins over Sullivan Barrera and Sergey Kovalev is enough for me. Barrera proved he's no "bum" in his last fight. .Kovalev was the boogeyman that had the whole division shook, so damn scary he was people said Ward would never face him. .

Lomachenko's win against Walters is impressive but Walters wasn't on nobody's Pound for Pound list, he was no boogeyman like Kovalev. .

Ward beat the breaks off that boy, gave him that inside work and took all his belts.

Andre Ward = 2016 FOTY.
