*** Saddos 2008 Boxing Awards ***

[amat]

1. Fighter of the year: Manny Pacquiao
2. Fight of the year: Izzy/Raffa
3. Round of the year: Izzy/Raffa III Round 3
4. Knockout of the year: Zahir Raheem getting KO'd In South Africa.
5. Upset of the year: (ask about this) Mijares-Darchinyan
6. Comeback fighter of the year: Paul Williams, funny because he fell off and came back in the same year. There is some ego involved here for me.
7. Event of the year: The cancellation of WNF and Solo Boxeo
8. Worst fight of the year: I choose not to focus on the negatives. Except for the other engatives I focused on.
9. Prospect of the year: James Kirkland, not sure he is ever going to be a top p4p guy but no one is more exciting right now then Kirkland.
10. Robbery of the Year: More like disappointment of the year but I'll go with Joan Guzman not being able to fight Nate Campbell. Big disappointment that was and can loosely be categorized as a robbery. Otherwise I'd have to go back through all my ESPN2 notes to find a robbery. Surely there is a Herman Ngoudjo fight somewhere in the running there.
