By BJ “Warhammer” Proctor

A full month left before we turn the page, entering a new year. 2016 has had its share of up’s and downs, yet the up’s for boxing were tremendous to say the least. Exceptional fights took place this year. Ward Vs Kovalev, Gonzalez Vs Cuadras, Thurman Vs Porter, Salido Vs Vargas, all must see bouts.
