*** Saddos 2008 Boxing Awards ***

[DaxxKahn]

Well 2008 was some year I must say...Soo Many choices...but here are my picks..

FIGHTER OF THE YEAR-- Has to be Antonio Margarito, I know some will disagree and believe I am being partial but...He destroys Cintron to win another world title...then dominates the fighter who is perhaps the most ruthless body puncher in the sport....

FIGHT OF THE YEAR-- Hard to pass over Vazquez/Marquez 3...My pick hands down

ROUND OF THE YEAR--Holt/Torres rd 1

KNOCKOUT OF THE YEAR-- Paul Williams over Carlos Quintana

WORST FIGHT OF THE YEAR--Hopkins/Calzaghe....Was an ugly affair where both men looked like crap..No excuse at that level

COMEBACK FIGHTER OF THE YEAR- Margarito/Hopkins...I know this is going to make Mick a bit mad but fact is I have it a tie..Hopkins lost to Calzaghe earlier this year and everyone wrote him off until his destruction of Pavlik....

Margarito loses his title to Williams in 2007 just to come back in 2008 and win 2 titles..one from a P4P ranked fighter


EVENT OF THE YEAR-- Cotto/Margarito--No One was looking to sign a dangerous fight, no one was looking to help clean up a division...(Any Division)...These two laid it all on the line...not so much for a title but just to prove who was best..they did it with style...hats off

PROSPECT OF THE YEAR--I know a world champion is not exactly a prospect but he was just a prospect on the way in....Timothy Bradley..he went to the UK an underdog unexperienced and came home a champ


ROBBERY OF THE YEAR- Oscar De La Hoya trying to rob the sport as a whole by attempting to have us believe he is not desperate for a win over an elite fighter before retirement by making the Pacquiao fight!!

rest to come later
