I was reading Kevin Iole's and figured I'd see what winners/additions other people had. These were his selections: Fighter of the quarter: 1, Miguel Cotto. 2, Israel Vazquez. 3, Manny Pacquiao. 4, Antonio Margarito. 5, Nate Campbell. Fight of the quarter: 1, Israel Vazquez-Rafael Marquez III. 2, Manny Pacquiao-Juan Manuel Marquez. 3, Nate Campbell-Juan Diaz. Prospect of the quarter: 1, Yuriorkis Gamboa. 2, Olander Solis. 3, Amir Khan. 4, Alfredo Angulo.
That would be my pick as well. He based the Cotto selection on his performance in the fight, not by the accomplishment. Still, though, hard to make that argument, IMO.
Casamayor/Katsidis is the best fight of the quarter. Nate Campbell is the fighter of the quarter. My ass is prospect of the quarter. And we're just about a month past the quarter...gotta do these sooner.
He would do them sooner but is too busy blowing MMA fighters while being a mainstream writer for yahoo, if he paid more attention to boxing maybe his "Quarter awards" would be better. Iole is horrible
Israel Vasquez is "Fighter of the Quarter"... Vasquez-Marquez III is "Fight of the Quarter"... Yuriorkis Gamboa is "Prospect of the Quarter"... "Upset of the Quarter" is btwn Campbell-Diaz or Vera-Andy Lee... "KO of the Quarter" is Casamayor Over Katsidis... REED
Fighter: Calzaghe, biggest fight by far, clear winner. Fight: Pacquiao-Marquez II Prospect: Solis&Gamboa KO: Sylvester-Castillejo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkN1iz1S09o
Fighter: Incomplete. It´s just one fight for each fighter, but probably Vasquez. Fight: Vasquez vs. Marquez III Prospect: Gamboa KO: Sylvester vs. Castillejo or Rhodes vs. Woolcombe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgReYH60jfA
