Suitland, MD cruiserweight Venroy “Hardwork” July won a seventh-round technical decision over Joell Godfrey of East St. Louis, IL in the main event of Saturday’s card at the Patapsco Arena in Baltimore.
Godfrey hit July numerous times with low blows causing the bout to be momentarily halted. The bout ended in the seventh round with both boxers clashing heads and causing cuts on both men.
The bout went to the scorecards and July won by scores of 57-56 and 59-54 twice. July is now 15-1-2, six KO’s while Godfrey falls to 16-10-1, six KO’s.

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.
