    Yesterday Carl Froch won his 4th (3 in a row) BBBoC Fighter of the Year award, while Sergey Kovalev won the award for overseas Fighter of the Year.

    Murray and Crolla won the sportsmanship award for their LW bout back in April.

    bit early isn't it, if kovalev gets done by Hopkins he shouldn't be FOTY, assuming he beats Rubio I think GGG

    Overseas fighter of the year goes to foreign fighters who have fought in the Uk in the past year doesn't it, Kovalev's award is well deserved

    Ok, didn't know they had to fight in the UK, would be Crawford for me then. But can see why Kovalev got the nod.

    Wouldn't that win over cleverly have come under last year? Then Crawford is the obvious one

    Although Frampton's had a good year, pulling off a world title win with a top performance, it's hard to look past Froch.

    Given the magnitude of the Groves fight, to win in the manner he did was first class.

    just a punch from the gods.

    frampton has consistently been much better than him in my opinion.
