Sorry I haven't been around much this year guys. Working overtime just kills me atm.
1. Fighter of the year: Manny Pacquiao
2. Fight of the Year: Pac vs. JMM II - I was on the edge of my seat.
3. Round of the year: Holt vs. Torres II Round 1
4. Knockout of the Year: Martin Lindsay KO'ing Derry Matthews
5. Upset of the year: Pac over Oscar...I just didn't think it possible
6. Comeback fighter of the year: Has to be Vic Darchinyan!
7. Event of the year: Haye-Maccarinelli (They made a big deal on Setanta and I went to the fight)
8. Worst fight of the year: Wladimir Klitschko vs. Sultan Ibragimov (Piss poor excuse for a unification title fight)
9. Prospect of the year: Kell Brook
10. Robbery of the year: Holt over Torres for me. Unintentional headbutt or not, that is a shitty way to lose a world title.
I'd like to add my own moment of the year. Thank you to Timothy Bradley for snatching Junior Witters dream away. When he knocked him down with that punch, I must confess I was extremely jealous.

1. Fighter of the year: Pacquiao
Hands down this guy probably has figter in the year in his cards for the next 2 years with all the potential fights in front of him
2. Fight of the year: Cotto V Margarito
I think my own excitement over this fight made more exciting than it may have been.
3. Round of the year: Torres V Holt
I hate how Holt got so much credit over a headbutt
4. Knockout of the year: Casa V Kats
This was also on my list of fight of the year, I thought it was an exciting fight
5. Upset of the year: Hopkins V Pavlik
I agree with a previous poster, it was the manner in which Hopkins did it.
6. Comeback fighter of the year: Hopkins
Although he looked pretty good against Calzaghe, he did a 180 degree flip on Pavlik
7. Event of the year: Cotto V Margarito
Although for the general public I know ODLH V Pac was the bigger "event" I think more true boxing fans were very very excited about this fight.
8. Worst fight of the year: Wlad/ Rahman
Further cementing the crappiness of this division
9. Prospect of the year: Victor Ortiz
I dont know why I like this guy but good power, good speed, and good boxing ability and he is very marketable.
10. Robbery of the year: Andrade V Bute
Even my girlfriend was upset at this.
The key is Self-discipline.
