I'm here now to present this years Saddo Prospect of the Year Award.

With a total of 8 votes (which goes to show how diverse we are and how many top prospects are out there) this years winner is...

Yuriorkis Gamboa

There were a total of 16 different prospects nominated, it should be noted that 3 of them actually IMO are no longer prospects and are infact title holders.

The last award of the night is for this years Saddo Robbery of the Year Award.

With a total of 18 votes this years winner is...

Francisco Lorenzo defeats Humberto Soto

This time it wasn't the judges but the ref. Cortez robbed Soto of a victory.We also saw ref. Wright rob Librado Andrade of a win. More recent we saw Holy get put together like a cheap 3 piece suit by judges in Germany. Williams-McDermott got some votes also.

So there you have it the people at SaddoBoxing have spoken...

The votes were counted and the winners were awarded.

A handful of people left categories blank and or like I said only list 1 so if you had 2 names your vote was void. sorry...


Alright well now it's party time, I invite you all to go back down stairs for some drinking, dancing and entertainment...
