Andre Ward returned in November to defeat Edwin Rodriguez. Is he NorCal Fighter of the Year? |
In the pro game, several fighters lost their grip on their world titles with only Andre Ward and Melissa McMorrow maintaining their possession of world championship gold, but several up-and-coming prospects emerged. (Our definition of a NorCal fighter is one who resides in and represents any city from Bakersfield to the northern border.)
The amateur ranks in Region 11, the area encompassing Northern and Central California, saw a youth movement take hold. Several locals made waves in the Junior Olympic division.
It is time to recognize the tremendous efforts of those involved by announcing the finalists for Norcalboxing.com's 3rd Annual NorCal Boxing Awards.

Fans, here’s your chance to be heard by VOTING on any or all of the categories below. You can vote as many times as you like.
The finalist in each category that ends up with the most readers' support will earn one composite vote that will count in the final tally along with the individual votes from our media panel.
EXAMPLE: If Melissa McMorrow and Ava Knight ended up with seven votes apiece among the media panel for Role Model of the Year, then the readers’ choice would end up being the tiebreaker, since it would count for one whole vote.
Voting ends TUESDAY, FEB. 4, at 11:59 p.m. PT. Good luck to all the finalists!
