The 606v Boxing Awards 2012 Have Arrived!!!!

First topic message reminder :

Ladies and Gentlemen! Allow me to welcome you to the event of the season! The 2012 606v2 Boxing Awards!

At this time I’d like to thank you all for your attendance; what a fine array of boxing knowledge there is in the room tonight. A special shout out to the Mod table, where I see Rowley smoking a Cuban and jotting down potential rivals to ban if they oust him in any of the categories below (they do). And it’s great to see Union Cane working the tables and paying off all the people he made prediction bets with and lost to this year, which was everyone.

Steffan and Emore look strapped in on the back table, and Chris is ensuring that Azania doesn’t kick off before the festivities even begin.

Hello to our Founder, Adam, up there in the box seats. I must say you and Fists make a lovely couple .

Now, the moment you have all been waiting for!

Please note: Not all categories had full participation (for example some people abstained in certain categories, or forgot to vote in them), so there are a varied number of answers in each category. Also, more than one person was voted for in certain categories (basically the first). This only really happened once or twice so I honoured all votes.

Hurts even more as I was one of those who voted for Tino.

This one surprised me as well :

perhaps it was that bit, trying to figure out your logic to some of your threads, the reverse threads being one of them

Az is not banned.

Can honestly say I was genuinely surprised at this one myself - a wee bit embarrassing (in a nice way, of course!) for me to nick this one, as there truly are a handful of top-quality posters on here who I'd definitely rank ahead of myself in that category.

Thread of the Year was my priority, to be honest - I was just lucky to pick up a couple of very nice bonus gongs along the way!

Thought the captain was certain to win the Most Knowledgeable Poster Award, thats got to be the upset of the year.

He left us, we're bitter and small minded like that.

Quite right too, Jeff. We didn't get where we are today through contraptions like open minds!

Am still hurting over your desertion on my Haye stance, we're nothing if not petty us Yorkshire folk.

Don't laugh Sean, don't want to think I have upset the captain, short of Naz lacing the gloves up again I am struggling to think of a comeback that could make me happier.

What a lovely thing to say

Not voted for in a single one... Feel so undervalued.

I mean 6500 posts just about all in the boxing section and not a single vote, haha, I mean it's not as though I'm going to be crying myself to sleep tonight...

Top job Sean. A good thread too. Congrats to all the winners.

I feel your pain.

I find it interesting that I was nominated for WUM of the year??? I won't out the person who did that, but come on. Hahaha

No, no it's fine, I don't feel backstabbed and underappreciated at all.

I must have been wumming since 2008 then, ha. I'm putting it down to a typo

Must have been mate, other than that I'm guessing it was someone else on the Wummery list!

Rowley wrote:Think I went for Steffan, not strictly speaking a wum but having the flags of whoever England were playing as his avatars during Euro 2012 was the work of genius

Thnaks Jeff. Glad someone appreciated

I remember while posting on the forum during England matches half the posters were too busy showing their disgust at my flag than actually posting about the match itself

Alex, you can have the "Sent me weird PM's when this place first opened it's doors even if that wasn't 2012" award. Or take my unsung hero award, the local elves often sing of my heroic feets such as freeing their village from the fear induced by living next to a local dragon which I killed with magical beads so it doesn't really apply to me.

I remember those PMs... Good times.

Actually, I remember when Steffan played a bit of a joke on me, started PMing me saying that he used to be a teacher at my school and that he used to teach me, started saying a load of details about me which was a bit creepy... Then he later told me he just found my facebook...

That one was amazing

You took it all in good jest to be fair mate

Do you still have them in your inbox? I'd love to see a screenshot of some genius one on one wummery.

I don't see anything in my post that could've confused you spencer.

Nah, they were so long ago now JBW

although I did find a PM that I sent to Tina entitled: Nipples

I didn't open it.

Haha shocked I got a vote to be honest but cheers to whoever did so.

Thanks for this, Seanus.

If it helps, I really enjoy reading your fight reviews, it's become my weekend boxing fixture list. So basically, 6500 posts and you've finally got your first fan. Keep up the good work.

Congrats to all that won an award, I still think this boxing forum has legs on it, and I hope 2013 will be a prosperous year.

Thanks for this, Seanus.

I'd like to thank the razor witted card that voted for me in the funniest poster category. So thanks gordy, The rest of you losers wouldn't know quality humour if it banged loudly on your door shouting 'knock knock who's there?'

Alex, perhaps with the glowing success of this year's awards, next year's might include...

1. Neediest poster
2. Poster with the largest number of non award worthy posts
3. Poster with the least macho job title
4. Best poster called Alex.

You'd be a shoe in for the first 3 and an outside bet for number 4. Sorry, shouldn't kick a man when he's down. You are a fine contributor to the board, no really you are.... Honestly. Damn, I just don't do sincerity very well. I like you, really, just not in the way you like johnny nelson.

Actually - I was the one who voted for you - I wanted to stop you doing this again

Which plonker voted for me?

I'm touched shah, thought it would have to be someone else with baby brain. My sharp witted comment was a spoonerism.

Think I might change my user name to 85chris08, and go for the dyslexic vote next year

I've gotten into trouble sometimes because every time someone mentions spoons or some variation I think of poor becky adlington and crack up

Well you certainly wont put the sex in dyslexic

Sex is a horrible messy business shah, best left to drunken teenagers. I leave my procreation in the hands of the nurses in the Ivf clinic. Quite literally if my luck's in.

Hahaha. I was wondering why they used radiation suits.

Anyway goodnight lads, have run out of cigarettes, need to pop down to the petrol station.

Night Shah

Bit late to this party but nice one seanus.

Not much else to add except congratulations to all the winners and a quick extra note - I was glad to see JBW get the award he did. Whether being surreal or serious, he/you always posts things that I find myself being glad I read.

And ta for whoever gave me those unexpected nods. It warmed the heart.

Been a good year on here, hope next year is just as good if not better.

I remember that one. It was actually titled 'Man Nipples' but you're close enough. It must have been in your experimental phase. Has that ended yet?

Thanks for putting this together Seanus. You did a fine job, old pal. Really amusing thread and plenty of well received winners.

I won't lie, I was desperate to win Thread of the Year for 'Real Boxing Heroes' but Chris was a deserving winner. I realise where I went wrong though, I released them in the first half of the year and people must have forgotten just how good they were. I have had one half finished for a few months that I haven't got round to completing but I am a man of deep integrity and refused to rush it out in an unfinished state just to win the award. I have too much pride in my work for that. What sort of person would shamelessly spam the board with hurriedly cobbled together threads in a vain hope to win a big one. I would never stoop so low.

And Union,

I was at the time but the moment has passed. I replied but got nothing back. He can be quite hurtful can Alex.

Yes. Having watched a bit of that Claridge's program last night I bet he has his hands full at the moment.

His thimbles full surely?

I was thinking more of a cupping style hands full. Think Nigella Lawson seperating the white from the egg yolk.
