fight of year: loma vs linares, hurd vs lara, ortiz vs wilder, canelo vs ggg, zapavignia vs saucedo

some notable omissions imo

Fighter of the year for me is josh Taylor. beating Postol and dominating Martin both really good wins. He fought someone earlier in the year but I forgot his name. Really hope he wins wbss

It's a good idea, we should start a poll and do it properly

UK. Sorry mate should of said.
Usyk for global mate beating Breidis and Gassiev showed he's the best cruiser in the world.

Maybe we should do this every year

Fighter of year. Fury

Fight of year. Frampton warrington!

Upset. Saunders getting his belt taking off him by telling them to shove it up their arse. He was very upset.

Robbery. Not sure its all subjective.

Ko of year. Bellew getting sparked by usyk. That was beautiful!

Let's get some polls going

wheres ruthy to start a poll thread for each award

As long as they get their photos on the homepage wearing them

We could add prospect of the year too
Also best personality, and the worst!
Best trainer, manager, promoter

Boxer of the year is Josh taylor for me.

Fight of the year was welborn v Langford 1

Upset of the year Ronnie clark v Zelfa Barrett. The odds also seem to suggest this.

Robbery of the year for me is Tyson fury v deontay wilder

Knockout of the year would be usyk of bellew. Just broke him down and a simple shot that out him away.

My opinion

Fighter of year - Usyk (solid year no doubt the best CW in 2018)

Fight of year - Canelo vs GGG (thought it was a very good fight hard to pick a winner)

Upset - Hunter vs Bakole (honestly bought into the Cyclone hype train and thought he would do Hunter but guess it counts as an upset)

Robbery. Stevenson vs Jack (jack won that fight 7-5 bad decision not a robbery but closest thing to it)

Ko of year - Whyte KO'ing Browne (reminiscent of marquez KO'ing pacquiao)

i had stevenson beating jack tbh, i know many others did

If Warrington wins I don't see how people can see past him for FOTY. It was more of the same for all the usual suspects. If Warrington wins you will have a fighter who started out on VIP non-televised bills holding wins over Selby and Frampton and a world title. I can't see how you would look beyond him.
