There are only a few moves in this month’s list. Headliner Calvin Brock took a tough win over previously undefeated Timor Ibragimov and had to show some resolve in doing so. I found it surprising that many bloggers criticized his performance for being boring. Yes there were too many clinches and few booming exchanges, but Brock is proving himself solid in nearly all departments. He’s a solid "B" student in all subjects, though not especially stellar in any. Any of the alphabet titlists are going to have trouble with him.
Dominick Guinn may have finally lost his big chance. He went from showing some of the talent that was evident in the early part of his career against Audley Harrison to blowing it bigtime against Tony Thompson. We just can’t figure out what happened there.
July is shaping up to be important to the future shape of the division. Williams - Skelton will likely decide which man gets a world title shot in the very near future. It is likewise the case for the S. Ibragimov – Austin eliminator. Shannon Briggs, apparently next in line for Klitschko, may be in action in July. Also scheduled for July action are Ruslan Chagaev and Jameel McCline. [details]
