October sucks for boxing, ALL of the big fights are happening in November (every week of Nov will packed full of big fights) and December. October get left over with the shit like the return of Roy Jones jr who is like 67 years old, Antonio Tarver's debut at Heavyweight (at 41 years of age), the return of Ray Oliveira who last was seen getting clobbered by Emmanuel Augustus almost 6 years ago.
There are however a few notable fights:
-#7 Pound 4 Pound Pongsaklek Wonjongkam defends his title against Chokchai in Thailand (unfortunately this wont be televised).
-Vitali Klitschko defends his title against Shannon Briggs.
-Lucian Bute defends his title against The Contender's Jesse Brinkley
-Fernando Montiel is fighting, although no opponent named yet.
Not much else. Naner let me know if I missed anything.
