Fighter of the Year - Juan Manual Marquez
Strong case can be made for either Donaire or Marquez.
Donaire fought four times this year, moving up to a new division, unifying belts and becoming the Ring Champion in the division. All within a year is impressive.
Marquez on the otherhand only fought twice, but his win over Pacquiao was not only a win, but a brutal knockout. That single victory was enough for me.
Trainer of the Year - Nacho Beristain. The man who knew how to beat Pacquiao and a true legend of the sport. Quite possibly the best trainer in the game today.
Most exciting fighter - Lucas Matthysse (TKO10 Ajose Olusegun, TKO5 Humberto Soto).
Runner up: Gennady Golovkin (TKO5 Proksa, TKO3 Fuchigami).

Robbery of the Year - Timothy Bradley over Pacquiao. Among the media scorecards, 121 scored the fight for Pacquiao, 1 scored it for Bradley and 1 scored a draw (sournce
Runner ups:
-Brandon Rios over Richard Abril - Abril boxed the shit out of Rios yet somehow Rios got the nod. - "Oh my god. That is horrible. That is absolutely disgusting. Somebody call the police. Abril robbed at judge point. - Dan Rafael
-Tavoris Cloud over Campillo. "How he (David Robertson) could arrive at a 116-110 score for Cloud is beyond my comprehension." - Al Bernstein
Worst event letdown - USA Olympic Boxing. Not a single medal for the first time in history.
The "I want to be Chinese" Award - Andre Berto.
