[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

British junior welterweight has warned Amir Khan about his upcoming opponent, unbeaten European champ Paul McCloskey. Khan defends the WBA 140-pound title against McCloskey on April 16 at the MEN Arena in Manchester. Daws tells Gavin Glicksman of The Sun that McCloskey should not be underestimated.

BPP, theyre not fighting for thr WBA 140-pound title.

They're fighting for the Super WBA 140-pound title.

Fix it.

I don't want to sound like an *******, but that article should really explain who 'Daws' is before quoting him. It would certainly help if a first name was given so at least readers could research for themselves.

Agreed 100%. This site (and boxing news sites in general) need to really catch up with the rest of the journalism world. Like you said, they don't explain who Daws is, and the fact that they don't give a first name makes it difficult to look the guy up.

Other things that this site frequently does:

- They don't always put the author's name
- Spelling and grammer mistakes
- They usually don't mention when a quote is translated, and who it was translated by
- The context of a boxer's quotes is rarely given. Was it part of an interview? A press release? Etc.
- They form news stories entirely on speculation

I could go on and on. Despite all of this, I still come to the site because they update frequently ... but if it weren't for that, I would be happy to get all of my news from badlefthook.com (which I am in no way affiliated with).

There was no robbery involved in Khan's fight against Maidana. Apart from the 10th round, Amir won fairly comfortably, I scored the fight 8 rounds to 4 (at best for Maidana). You're deluding yourself if you thought anything like a robbery was remotely involved in that fight.
