‘Dinamita’ in the hunt with three nominations
WBN made the regretful mistake to announce this year’s WBN
Awards nominations BEFORE the huge fourth clash between rivals Juan Manuel
Marquez and Manny Pacquiao took place at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Mexican legend Marquez, 39, then proceeded to engage in a certain
Fight of the Year contender with the Filipino great and has now been added in
three categories for Fighter of the Year, Fight of the Year and Stoppage of
2012.
World Boxing News had opened the only award voted for by the WBN
readers earlier this week, and once the Fighter of the Year awards are final
and have begun voting, it is then impossible to amend who is nominated with some may votes cast.
‘Dinamita’ has now been added as a continuation to the vote on
the WBN website and readers are now able to vote for the ‘WBO Champion of the
Decade,' meaning the final result will stand when announced next year.
Marquez is some way behind after days of voting as Carl Froch,
Andre Ward and Nonito Donaire fight it out in the early stages to claim 2012’s
top award. Nacho Beristain, trainer of Marquez, has also been added to the
Trainer of the Year list.
