Didn't get too many nominations..... I guess some folk are just annoyed they can't vote for Mayweather in every category.
Go on Joker, we can put the thread up on stilts and fire it into reverse like the car in "Ferris Buellers day off" nobody'll ever know. D4 didn't put their nominations in either. http://espn.go.com/blog/dan-rafael/post/_/id/664/more-2011-boxing-award-winners
Fighter of the year. Andre Ward Fight of the year. Khan vs Peterson Knockout of the year. Groves vs Smith Breakthrough fighter of the year. Kell Brook. British fighter of the year. Ricky Burns. British fight of the year. Cleverly vs Bellew
Nope. The way Burns turned on the class against Katsidis was a joy to behold - A genuine world-class Scottish boxer?
It really caught me out as I thought Bellew would get absolutely out-classed by Cleverly - it turned into an excellent fight because Cleverly decided to go the tough-guy route just to prove he could. We all knew Cleverly was and is the superior boxer, but to go toe-to-toe with Bellew took balls of steel and massive self-belief. Bellew played his part and gave it everything he possibly could have - he simply didn't have enough of anything to seriously damage Cleverly - class fight.
i remember danny price beating bellew in the abas it was a close contest ,bellew was better than i thought to be fair
