With less than forty days to 2012 some people may already have chosen their nominees for fights and etcetera of the year, but hold off just yet, because there are so many exciting scheduled fights during this short period of time, you wonder why anyone would say boxing is dying.
First up Miguel Cotto gets the chance to avenge his loss to Margarito in NYC, Kirmit Cintron might upset Saul Alvarez to become champion.
Danny Green may regain a cruiserweight title.
Agbeko gets a second chance against Abner Mares.
Lamont Peterson might decide its time to embarass Amir Khan before US Congressmen in Washington DC, and
Jean Marc Mormeck gets one big shot at nothing else but the Heavyweight title against Wladimir Klitchko, just imagine the pandomonium in the heavyweight division if he wins.
Andre Ward and Carl Froch fight for 168 pound supremacy in a guaranteed firefight.
And last by not least Jermain Taylor and Andre Dirrell makes a comeback after 26 months against Jesse Nicklow and Darryl Cunningham on December 30.

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.
