Boxingscene Boxer of the Month for July 2013

[Jloro]

Is the "one-arm" an excuse for being beaten pillar to post and knocked out by Soto-Karass?

Vitali Klitschko had the same injury against Chisora, and still won the fight.

Even Berto without injuries isn't always very impressive thought. And Berto still managed to drop Jesus didn't he?

[The Big Dunn]

I voted for Figueroa over soto karass

Flash knockdown, Soto-Karass wasn't hurt at all.

Estrada because he probably beat the highest quality opponent of all the guys on this list in a high quality and competitive fight, and looked really good doing so.

1) Soto Karass - underdog against Berto but turns in a career best performance & demolishes him, putting himself back in serious title contention in a big way.

2) Tony Thompson - Another seemingly ageless warrior shows great class in demolishing Price, keeping his position as the best US heavyweight (none of the other US fighters will go near him) & still a top 10 guy.

3) Evgeny Gradovich - proves his title winning effort was no fluke & turns in a performance that shows he is a genuine elite level fighter & likely to be a very long term player.

4) Juan Francisco Estrada - builds on his great title win against a top challenger, showing himself to be a genuine P4P guy. This guy really is looking to be one of the best P4P fighters in boxing.

5) Thurman - starting to look like the real deal.

Omar Figueroa, in spite of having an incredibly exciting fight with Arakawa, was still involved in a life & death struggle against a limited fringe contender whose best attributes was his guts. Fun to watch, but very far from sold on him as serious player.

Molina, amazing comeback win & another fun guy to watch, but doubt he gets past fringe contender status.

[Hougigo]

Always tough to pick because of method of victory, quality of opponent and significance behind the win.

I like Molina because it was another come-behind victory after losing what, 2 in a row?
Also against an undefeated fighter...he should get it

[E-Thug]

Edwin Rodriguez. He beat the shit out of Grachev, dropping him and stopping him in the first round. It's more impressive considering Grachev gave Bute hell, upset Erdei and Sillakh and a lot of posters here were picking Grachev by KO. Not only did Rodriguez win the Monte Carlo tournament but he's also put himself in a position to fight Ward.

On a side note, I'll never for the life of me understand Golovkin getting June's FOTM over Stevenson. A KO win over Dawson is infinitely better than a KO win over Macklin.

That's August.

This thread and poll is for July fights.
