Event of the Year

"Go for what you want. If you dream it, you can achieveit.” -Ali


Muhammad Ali, the iconic three-time world heavyweight boxing champion who helped define his turbulent times as the most charismatic and controversial sports figure of the 20th century, died on June 3, 2016 in a Phoenix-area hospital. He was 74.



Asked how he would like to be remembered, he once said:"As a man who never sold out his people . . . if that's too much, then
just a good boxer…I won't even mind if you don't mention how pretty Was."


The Eulogies were spiritual,beautiful and came from different quarters. Ali would have been proud of them.

Trainer
of the Year:


Shane
McGuiganWatch Queue


McGuigan
was a promising amateur but switched his attention to training the talented ad
disciplined Carl “The Jackal” Frampton whom he has led to the IBF
super-bantamweight world title. McGuigan also recently started training high-profile
David Haye (taking over duties from Adam Booth who had been in Haye's corner
for 17 years), and George Groves (for his thus far highly successful comeback).


Anatoly Lomachenko has had a significant impact
on Ukrainian boxing that warrants mention.

Round of the year


Round five: Chisora vs. Whyte,



Each took turns hurting the other in a round that was as explosive as any seen in recent years. Chisora stunned Whyte early with a right and then followed up by drilling a savage hook to the body. He then got Dillian back onto the ropes and launched a huge right and left hook combo. But Whyte responded with combinations of his own as the fight literally exploded with the crowd roaring its approval. At the end, Whyte pinned Chisora
on the ropes as he teed off with some withers shots. It was a spine-tingler in all respects ,and in terms of back and forth, as close to the Korean War as you could get.
