    Hello all

    I've had an article published on another website and I'm hoping to make it a regular occurance. I'd be interested to know what you guys think?

    I'm not after any arse licking though so if you like the article great, but I'm more after constructive criticism so does anything not read well, have I dropped any clangers in my analysis, is there anything I should have spent more/less time on? That kind of thing.

    I'm not too bothered whether you agree with me or not in terms of content, I can live with being wrong, I just want to make sure it's a decent read and take any comments into my next article.

    Cheers folks

    Unfortunate that the website also hosts article by another dubious writer. But I thought your article was good, concise & readable. In terms of general boxing article writing, its all good. Content however seemed a little generic for me, just my thought, but either way all good. Will happily read more in future :)

    I know it's an iffy site, just want to get my stuff out there though!

    Cheers for the comments though. In terms of trying to put a bit more flesh on the bones, what would you have preferred to see to make it less generic?

    Good article, one of very few objective pieces on that website.

    I thought that was a brilliant article, and one that doesn't deserve to be on that **** website. Although I disagree with your prediction (I'm picking Maidana by KO), you do make some good points. Especially:

    But my bet is that Khan, when hurt, won't be stupid enough to do this. At least I hope so anyway, because if this does happen, he's ****ed.

    good article mate, its a pity most real boxing fans wont read it due to the reputation of the website, keep up the good work though, once youve got a few articles you will have leverage to move to a better site.

    I agree with this, Roach wouldn't allow this to happen. I have said before, i think it will be a relatively easy win for khan either by a landslide UD or late stoppage. My £65 in already on the UD 11/2.

    Great article, pretty well balanced. If I was to change anything it would be a wee bit of the grammar like here

    "Maidana to KO the glass jaw hype job"

    I would change that to Maidana to KO the glass jawed hype job

    Cheers mate. For anyone who has not read the article, I can assure you that that particular line by itself is completely out of context!

    Makes it look like I belong on the general forum!
