By Cliff Rold - None of the World’s best, or more appropriately less bad, heavyweights fought in June. That’s at least one reason that can be pointed to in reasoning just what made June 2008 such a good month. After all, Heavyweight come with a heavy price tag, eating up TV dates and attention that is rarely equal to the action they produce in the ring. In July that will mean the sure to be thrilling Wladimir Klitschko-Tony Thompson, a fight Don Dunphy would have had a hard time making exciting on radio. Yippee.
Thank God for small favorites before we get back to the big boys (and immediately after them).
Damn near everyweight star Manny Pacquiao took a step farther from the contemporary and a step closer to the rarest historical airs by successfully moving up in weight yet again, eight classes from where he started. Welterweight Paul Williams avenged his only loss in less than three minutes, going hot knife to butter on Carlos Quintana. Middleweight thriller Arthur Abraham finally crossed the pond from Germany, thrashing Edison Miranda in only four rounds…and none of this produced the fight or fighter of the month. [details]
