Inihayag ni boxing broadcaster Jenna Jay ng “On The Ropes Boxing Radio Show” ang mga boksingerong binigyan nila ng iba’t ibang parangal na kabilang sa mga nanguna si dating pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao ng Pilipinas.
“In a year that had many highlights and breakout performances, there are only a few fighters and moments from 2013 that received honors during the 5th annual ‘On The Ropes’ boxing awards,” ayon kay Jay.
“The categories this year were; Comeback fighter of the year, Trainer of the year, Prospect of the year, Round of the year, Upset of the year, Fight of the year, KO of the year, and Fighter of the year. During the 205th edition of ‘On The Ropes’ I announced all of the winners and went over the reasons why each won and also discussed some of the other candidates from this past year.”
Para sa pangunahing boxing radio show sa United States, napiling Comeback Fighter of the Year si Pacquiao sa dominanteng pagwawagi sa Mexican American na si Brandon Rios noong nakaraang Nobyembre sa Macau, China matapos ang dalawang
magkasunod na pagkatalo.
“When it comes to this award there was one name that stood far above the rest. Coming off a 6th round KO defeat at the hands of Juan Manuel Marquez, many wondered if Manny Pacquiao would ever be the same fighter again. Once his return was announced, and that he would be facing Brandon Rios, some thought the match up could be dangerous and the wrong type of fight for Pacquiao’s return,” ayon kay Jay.
“On November 26th, Manny Pacquiao stepped back into the ring and put on a show for the fans in Macau, China. Pacquiao dominated the fight from the opening bell to the finish, winning almost every second of every round. He proved that he was not only back, but also still a force to be reckoned with in the welterweight division,” dagdag ni Jay. “Manny Pacquiao wins our comeback fighter of the year award, and we are looking for more great things from him in 2014.”
Napili namang Fighter of the Year si WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. sanhi ng dalawa niyang panalo noong 2013. “There were a few candidates for fighter of the year, with fighters such as Gennady Golovkin, Danny Garcia and Bernard Hopkins having impressive moments in 2013. But for us at ‘On The Ropes’ there was one fighter that had a bigger year then the rest, and he is our 2013 fighter of the year, he is none other than Floyd Mayweather Jr.,” paliwanag ni Jay.
“Floyd not only fought two times this past year, a feat he has not accomplished in 6 years, but also had the two biggest PPV boxing events of the year. He returned to the ring after a 1 year absence in May, to defend his WBC welterweight title against his mandatory challenger Robert Guerrero. Mayweather won a 12 round unanimous decision, looking as good as ever in his first fight with his father as head trainer in over 10 years,” giit ni Jay.
“Floyd stepped back into the ring in September to face the undefeated WBC light middleweight champion Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez. The fight became the biggest event in boxing history, and Mayweather ended up winning a 12 round majority
decision, in a fight that most saw him winning wide,” dagdag ni Jay. “Floyd Mayweather Jr. proved again why he is the best pound for pound fighter in the world, and even at age 37 he is showing he is as good as he has ever been.”
