July looks like to be a good month for boxing. Or so it seems. With so many big fights scheduled for seventh month of the year, any boxing fan would have compelling reasons to celebrate. Of course, it would be too early to have some kind of jubilation at this point. Duds are and will always be a staple fixture in this sport.
But with so many significant fights happening this July, there is simply no reason not to be giddied about the whole shebang.
