There is a lot slated to take place for the Beltway Boxing scene as we head into July. A number of boxers are scheduled for bouts around the country and we have two scheduled amateur and two scheduled pro cards in this area.

There is no Hard Times card at the DC Star on July 30th.
Nope, none, zip, put that baby to bed, they can't come back after that last pile of rubbish...Big props to the fighters on that show, but the rest of it was junk, from top to bottom.
Yes I am hating and I signed my name
Buchanan is not fighting either. gary- do you know what happened there?
That is true. Buchanan's bout is off. Apparently there were extra contract negotiations that were not to Buchanan's liking and he didn't sign the new contract.
Good for Poo, the bout was at first signed to be a non tv bout, then the promoter came back and said its a TV fight and they weren't going to give any additional money. At least that is what I heard. Good for poo and his people for not caving in to promoter greed and back handedness
