    Thanks for all the comments fellas both positive and negative.

    Rob - My style I agree is to write in the way I have, in a very informal manner so I understand that its very much about personal preference when reading it.

    However, if you look at some of my stuff you will see I have also done fight previews/reports and for the most part have seemed to have has them submitted without any real issue.

    Take on board what anyone says though and will think about what you and others have said, saying that I have a style I like, which for the most part seems to be acceptable so therefore this leopard won't be changing his spots.

    Enjoy

    Fair play to you for signing up and posting Kevin, much respect.

    I couldn't write as well as you have, so I'm not going to attempt to judge what you've written but the overall sentiment of the aticle is a strange one.

    It's the nature of us internet geeks that if we won a million pound on the lottery we'd be gutted that somebody else had the same numbers as us and we didn't win £2million.

    So put that, and our trait of analysing eveything to the Nth degree, aside and I don't really see anybody moaning about it.

    I don't see anybody slating the fighting, saying it's come too soon, saying it's a crap fight or basically anybody that doesn't want to see it.

    I can't remember a British Title fight garnering this much anticipation for.......well ever really.

    And certainly not a British Title fight overshadowing a World Title fight featuring an unbeaten British prospect.

    This fight is magic. Everybody thinks so.

    So I don't really see what you were getting at.

    Best Regards :good

    Yeah, I should point out that I don't read Boxrec and my observations are based entirely on ESB.
