Name em, here are mine:
Robbery of the Year: N'Jikam Def. Murata SD. There are some interesting choices for this category but that one sticks out as by far the worst. Thankfully, Murata got his revenge in the rematch and pummeled N'jikam so badly that his corner had to throw in the towel.
Upset of the Year: Caleb Truax Def. James Degale. You can go multiple ways here, Pac vs. Horn, Chocolatito vs. Sor Rungvisai. Truax is a journey fighter who was brought in as a tune up for Degale coming off a huge layoff. He'd been stopped twice before once at MW and then again in one round by Dirrell. He didn't belong in the same ring as DeGale, yet he came in and worked him over.
Fight of the Year: Joshua vs. Klitschko. It's rare for massive fights to deliver. This one did.
Knockout of the Year: Tete KO Gonya in 1 round. So many options to choose from here. Lemieux vs. Stevens, Charlo vs. Lubin, Benavidez vs. Medina, etc. I went with Tete because it was a title fight and how quickly it happened.
Breakout fighter of the Year: Srisaket Sor Rungvisai
2017 Fighter of the year: Srisaket Sor Rungvisai, aka King Sor. Knocked out the no.1 P4P in the world, after beating him earlier in the year. No other fighter had a more significant win, other than Loma beating Rigo. But this year belongs to King Sor.
