End of year awards 2019

[powerpuncher]

Fighter OTY: Inoue. This was a close race this year but I think he edged it with 3 fights and two destructions of good fighters.

Fight OTY: Donaire vs Inoue. Another close one. A few different fights to pick from but I think it edged it.

Comeback OTY: Pascal very easily to me. After his second loss to Kovalev a couple years back, I thought he was damaged goods. He beat two solid LHWs this year.

Upset OTY: Ruiz over AJ is the obvious choice but Baal mentioned the Cancio over Machado which is also a good choice since Cancio was a part time fighter and Machado was a top guy at the weight with a couple of solid wins. Ruiz over AJ was just a lot bigger deal in the boxing world. So my pick would probably be Cancio over Machado.

Prospect OTY: Virgil Ortiz pretty easily. Most of the other good prospects have progressed past prospect status.
