    1. There was an article headed who is the hardest hitter in boxing. All the experts discussed Matthew Hatton.

    2. They said the WBC had stripped Martinez & Berto of their belts because of comments by Dibella.

    This week the published corrections. The hardest hitter heading was a typo which should have been headed will M Hatton win a world title, and the Dibella article was taken from a satirical website.

    The previous weeks edition discussed the hardest hitters..someone just forgot to change the heading.

    A lot of people picked up on Thomas Hausers satirical article on secondsout and considering how the WBC does business it doesn't seem too far fetched to believe it!

    I noticed that, there are also a lot of little mistakes and spelling errors, doesn't seem very professional.

    this is the saddest thread I've read in ages. How many of you have ever worked for a proper magazine?

    That's a bit harsh, I read it cover to cover every week and there really are quite few mistakes. Any factual errors are usually corrected the following week.

    We all know it's a small team that puts out boxing news and I think they do a great job.

    You criticise small errors in a magazine that's weekly, is of a really high quality and made by about six people. That's really petty. If you'd worked for a magazine you'd realise how difficult it is.
