Awesome! Considering i'm such a bum I havn't been able to fork out the dough to make the previous awards.. But shit yeah, this year just one hour away i'll be there!
Nice choice of Venue Mick..
I'll be back here with my votes after a think

Nice, see you there...

what happened to GAY of the year, Mod of the year? etc.

Sorry, Steelie usually sorts those out...

This will obviously be a work in progress. We can edit/change our decisions until the 30th, right?

Yes.

Is Daniel Jacobs still considered a prospect? How are we defining that term?

Yes he is.
IMO a prospect is a fighter who has NOT fought and or won a title yet.
Or an Eliminator bout, that to me is a contender already.
DeMarco is no longer a prospect IMO, neither is Ward or Dirrell they to me are Contenders because of the caliber of opponents they have faced.

Seeing as it's the end of the decade, why not add Fighter of the Decade/Knockout of the Decade categories and any other Of The Decade categories that peeps think should be added?

I think that's a great idea for a seperate thread, it should be done at the begining of the year.
If you like you can put it together, if not I'll gladly whip something up and come up with an Award show similar to this one but more GRAND per say...
