    Refreshing to see a promoters column praising other promoters shows.

    Any chance you could give an assesment on the scoring at the Olympics in general in next addition or which non Brits have impressed you the most.

    Sack the editor, there ain't a proper paragraph in there, merely a few statements. Shocking journalese.

    Plus, it's 'flier'.

    Just in case you wanted an editor for your post.

    Good article like others have said nice to read something that takes the whole of british boxing into account rather than just bits and pieces.


    Also anyone else a bit annoyed at the lightweight prizefighter? Would prefer to see some of the big names in against each other for a 10 or 12 rounder instead

    I wouldn't have used a semicolon, it interrupts the flow of a sentence. I guess it initially does the same thing as a comma, namely marking a break between two parts of a sentence...but I'd rather use a comma as it's much more informal in this particular instance, and I never wanted to be formal when I insinuated the editor of the Daily Sport probably only has two GCSEs and...































    ...very little else.

    edit: I used 'ain't' as a choice of words to be informal. Is that okay...****wig?

    It is not longer linked to the newly relaunched Sunday Sport that can be bought in the shops.

    In reality it is nothing more than just a website using a familiar name.

    To be fair, I don't think many people are reading it. It's traffic rank is very low according to Alexa.
