        Sure, you can use it.

        If you're not terribly concerned with the grade you'll receive.

          Actually, if you contact that article, they will cite you as the reference, after they ask for your permission to use you as the source.

            Internet sources, especially anonymous ones are generally frowned upon.

            If you are talking a respected source lik5 a Journal of Medicine or a some other respected source that is different.

            Some hack usually doesn't cut it for school papers.

                More like if you are not concerned about the teacher wadding it up and throwing it back in your face.

                    you need to give credit to the source as well as the author. the primary source would be "boxingscene", and then the secondary source would be whoever writes the article on boxingscene you are citing.
