    That article is much too insightful for a site like bn24.com :blood

    Where are the "boxer xxx is actually a bum", "overrated", and "will be destroyed within a couple of rounds" comments? Not bn24 material at all! You should read more Scott Gilfoid articles as an example :bart

    Good article, long on words, short on substance.
    It does point out the contradiction in many boxing spectators of today, who fail to realize the primary objective of the sport is; Hit, while no being hit.
    These new boxing fans prefer the all offense, zero defense Anti-Sweet science technique of Ward-Gatti, versus the artistry of a Pernell "Sweet Pea" Whitaker, and therefore lack the patience to appreciate the style Ward uses to achieve his success.

    I don't know what Word processor you use, but both MS Word, and Open Office (Linux) have functional spell and Grammatic form checkers.

    i didnt use either word processor or ms word. i just typed it in my email. my grammar is awful i know. it would improve the article no engd as well.

    by the way thanks for saying its a good article but im not sure how it has no substance? i talked in detail about wards positives. saying he is an extremely versatile and technically gifted fighter.

    but what i will say is he isnt the this hit and not get hit master you think he is. he isnt mayweather or whitekar. he's there to be hit. he is definitely an elusive fighter but not to the extent he's unhittable. just ask sakio bika and arthur abraham at times in his fight.

    Correct but nothing any knowledgeable fan didn't already know. Did it pick an outcome?

    Like I said, I liked the article and suggest you keep up your writing.
    I'd strongly suggest you employ a word processor for published writing. Like it or not, readers eyes gravitate to spelling and grammatic errors and deduct mental points for each encounter.

    When comparing fighters, especially in a finals tournament such as the S6, even a course overview of the fighter's backgrounds may be in order. Perhaps Ward's extensive and impressive amateur background (~1x0-5) and his winning Gold in the Olympics may offer additional insight of his success in the pros and in the Super 6.
    How does this compare to Froch, who to my knowledge has very little amateur experience, and in my mind, perhaps contributes to his low hands and poor defense.

    Also, I don't believe that Ward's level of athleticism is on the level of Mayweather or Whitaker's, so he deploys a more crude, less visually impressive, but highly effective defensive strategy.
    Froch is definitely less athletic than Roy Jones, so I believe it's just a matter of time before he pays for carrying his hands at his waist. Someone as schooled as Ward will make him pay.

    Overall, I think you managed to do a good unbiased job. Keep writing, and I'll keep reading.:good

    How did noone else catch that? He just called us all gays and then asked for our opinion! The nerve! I, for one, shall not be partaking in answering his question, but I will post in his thread nonetheless.

    nice one cheers bud. but i will say that i did mention wards olympic gold. i just didnt bother going into too much detail cus ive been guilty of over doing article abit before until they become a bit wordy. so i though id simplify it. also i suppose its more for real boxing fans who already know about each fighter.

    im almost certain 99% of people on this site at least know a lot about both froch and ward.

    i agree with what you say about ward. he is a defensivly advanced boxer and will probably be very elusive against froch. but i do think froch will land reasonably often. he throws from combinations from different angles and can don it going forward and back. its gonna be a close fight imo.

    I did not believe you were capable of a genuinely worthwhile post.

    I stand corrected. :deal

    Lighten up, bro.

    If you are going to pursue writing, you had better grow accustomed to criticism.

    It goes with the territory. If you wish to have your ego stroked without reservation, hire a hooker.
