No big fights until September?

[PrideOfWales]

Huh?

What happened? I can't see any big fights until Vargas-Mayorga on 8th September unless I'm missing something? :huh

There are some decent matchups in August, but you're right, no really BIG fights as most use the term.

I looked at the schedule and noticed there are a lot of "past their prime" name fighters in action in August. Not only a bunch of old heavies, but guys like Bronco Mckart, Robert Allen, Yory Boy Campas, Ben Tackie, and Push Up Frazier are in action this month. It would have been a heck of a month ten years ago. :bbb

Well, this might not necessarily be "big," but you will get to see Litzau's next fight and everyone here on ESB (myself included) watch him intently, hoping that he loses so we can rejoice in his misfortune. Join the bandwagon. It's fun, I guarantee you'll enjoy it. He's dedicating this bout to those affected by the collapse of that bridge in Minneapolis, his hometown. :good

If you care about Arthur Abraham, he's fighting.

Can you believe this, they're trying to push a David Tua/Joe Mesi card on PPV. Fudgin' hilarious. Don't worry, they're not fighting each other. :lol:

Ivan Calderon and Chris John should be fighting in August as well.

you can't have great fights every month.

The FOTY wasn't enough?? :huh:huh:huh:huh:huh

That's what I mean. It has been a good year and will end up being a HUGE year for boxing fans. I don't know what else can anyone ask for.

Last Saturday was August 3rd. :yep

[Motor City Sam]

Last Saturday was August 3rd. :yep

My fault. I was looking ahead at the schedule and didn't really think about last Saturday's fight. Obviously that made August a standout month.

[Sheehan]

Its just the calm before the storm, great fights from september onwards.

[achillesthegreat]

Its been a storm none stop.

Haye-Mormeck in September.
Calzaghe-Kessler in November.
Hatton-Floyd in December.

The Brits just need something in October and we are finishing the year with the best fights we can make.

[PowerPuncher]

August is always shit for fights for some reason.

[TIGEREDGE]

No big fights in August? No big fights?!?!

Riddick Bowe vs Phillips, man! Tua vs Montana! Moorer vs some guy called Rich Boruff! Grant vs Julius Long!

It's a legendary month for the HWs.

[MrSmall]

August is the hottest month of the year, most things just grind to a halt where I live. Try training for anything more than 10 minutes in 100+degrees.
Isn't Holy-Sultan in October?

[carras]

Last Saturday was August 3rd. :yep
