We at Comcast SportsNet Bay Area are going to have our Inaugural NorCal Boxing End-of-Year Awards on Thursday, Dec. 29. I have put together a panel of local boxing media who will vote on a variety of categories for both the local pros and the amateurs.
Unfortunately, while there are no trophies or plaques for the winners, the purpose behind the awards is to recognize the hard work and dedication from everyone involved in keeping the sport alive and punching in the region.
Please check out csnbayarea.com/fightsports next Thursday, Dec. 15, (where I have my weekly boxing column) for a list of the nominees.
Here are the categories (unless specified, applies to both amateur and pro):
Male Pro Fighter of the Year
Female Pro Fighter of the Year
Male Amateur Fighter of the Year
Female Amateur Fighter of the Year
Collegiate Fighter of the Year
Pro Prospect of the Year*
Pro Fight of the Year
Amateur Fight of the Year
Event of the Year^
Round of the Year
Knockout of the Year
Upset of the Year
Venue of the Year
Pro Trainer of the Year
Amateur Trainer of the Year

* must not have fought for a regional belt yet (minimum five pro bouts)
^ entertainment value/promotional skill for the show as a whole
For the sake of geography, eligibility is limited to the northern border of the state all the way down to the imaginary horizontal line between Monterey and Fresno.
If you have any nominees, please state your case by sending me an e-mail to rmaquinana@gmail.com, and we will consider it. Thank you!
