FIGHTKINGS RINGSIDE COMMENTARY
As in September, I once again ran out of gas in the 10th & 11th championship rounds of October & November with this column, but I recovered to complete them and will unleash a few more flurries to close out the 12th and final round.
In the first week of October, Hassan N’Dam won a UD over Curtis Stevens in an eliminator for the right to challenge Jermaine Taylor who defeated aging Sam Soliman to regain the IBF Middleweight title. How Taylor even earned this title shot is another story altogether, but it is all irrelevant as he is now the champion. However he will not have too much time to savor his victory as he has assault and battery charges pending against him and an upcoming court fight that may turn out to be the toughest fight of his life, just when things started to look up for him in boxing, we wish him luck.
Hi Michael–
I’ve been working closely with Tori on a film documentary to help with her image and sponsorship since early 2011. I’d like to ask your and Mike Greenhill’s permission to use (with full credits) the first two photos on your posting page:

These are fabulous photos & would be useful, especially with her upcoming third world title fight on October 13th in Bermuda, as well as an article to be released by Washington Magazine (online).
I look forward to hearing from you soon, Michael.
