Does Worst performance of the year have to be a fighter? I'd like to nominate Tony Weeks for his "refereeing performance" in Romero v Barroso --- of the year doesn't do justice to just how bad a "performance" it was.
Your list is solid I would like to add favourite moment of the year and for me it is Nathen Heaney beating Denzel Bentley though it could also be upset of the year
