Well 2012 is here, and boxing is as busy and as exciting as ever, and I am not talking about over hyped super fights, if you don’t believe me how do you explain reality TV star Snooki promoting a fight card in Atlantic City, and we even had a fight for the Pennslvania Heavyweight title featured on NBC along with a strong undercard that thoroughly excited the screaming fans in attendance at the Asylum Arena in Philadelphia, and make sure to check out and bookmark our fight schedule page and be amazed at how many posters, for these small cards “closet classics” we post that you may hear about but never get to see because you can’t watch them on premium TV, in keeping with our mantra as the home of all boxing champions. Please make sure to listen to the last episode of FightKings Radio where we discuss the Great fights from 2011.

As in September, I once again ran out of gas in the 10th & 11th championship rounds of October & November with this column, but I recovered to complete them and will unleash a few more flurries to close out the 12th and final round.
In the first week of October, Hassan N’Dam won a UD over Curtis Stevens in an eliminator for the right to challenge Jermaine Taylor who defeated aging Sam Soliman to regain the IBF Middleweight title. How Taylor even earned this title shot is another story altogether, but it is all irrelevant as he is now the champion. However he will not have too much time to savor his victory as he has assault and battery charges pending against him and an upcoming court fight that may turn out to be the toughest fight of his life, just when things started to look up for him in boxing, we wish him luck.
