[Combat Talk Radio]

Disgraceful.

murican favoritism at its finest

FOTY for beating Jeff Horn, what a joke

When you beat the man who beat the man... You are the man.

[betmen]

why they given the award now?? it's only july. is 2018 only consist of six months??

many fighters even the champions level usually still fight once or twice more in the upcoming months

Like Pac's WBA "regular" title.

agreed!! that was a fake title.. still doesnt change the fact that someone on here told me these type of awards are bogus. "writers votes"..

[Rigpig]

Well deserved bud is a gifted fighter and a good person. I’ve actually sparred him twice and afterwords he gave me cash and Bull**** with me a little. Very humble down to earth guy. I sparred two other world champions that didn’t do either.

The year is not even over yet....espn is a joke

It was from last year numbnuts.

This award is a sham. Charlie Z would have won it several times if the judging were fair.

[Tony Trick-Pony]

Lmao so all of a sudden this hypejob gets rewarded for beating a paper champion who got a gift decision against pacquiao..neither Crawford nor lomachenko are pound for pound best, lomachenko needs to beat Mikey and move up to 147, Crawford needs to unify the 147 like he unified the softest weakest division in boxing the 140000

As soon as Mikey moves to 154 for a showdown with Hurd...

This is an award given by espn. Now that TR has a contract with espn, it is nothing more than the "TR boxer of the year." Everyone knows that. It is a glorified sham, another way to hype up Bummed, since his choice of opponents always leaves fight fans bummed.

What does anyone expect??? A non-espn fighter to win an espn "award"? Bummed wouldn't need these sham awards if he ever fought anyone decent. But obviously that is asking too much. Last night he was asked who he wants to fight, and he said he doesn't care, he doesn't pick his opponents, whoever Daddy Arum says. lmao.

That is why he is signed with TR. He knows he will never have to fight anyone good. And he can always just blame it on Arum. Bummed is 31 years old, 160 pounds in the ring, and the top name on his resume is either Horn or Postol. Considering that, it is pretty obvious no one else is going to give him an award except for "cherry-picker of the year". But TR is signed with espn and so espn is going to hype up their own fighters. Which is fine, they should just name the award what it really is: "the TR boxer of the year." Which even then, it should go to Loma.

yeah, who do you think should've won it? Canelo for beating that bum Chavez jr, getting a gift draw and using peds? Or maybe Mikey garcia for beating the always beatable broner and some other stiffs.

This ain't about race, stupid idiot. It's about acoplishments, if anything ggg should have won it ,
