    Yeah I see what you're saying. I read your freitas-raheem article and it was better but there was still too much descibing what happened in the fight and just general facts for my liking. Imo what makes articles interesting is the way the author expresses himself and his opinions as anyone can describe what happens in a fight and quote facts...still, props on getting your **** published, its a great start.
    I know, I wanted to go from the perspective of a guy who has been in the ring and knows the little reasons why they were ineffective. Its hard to not be biased in an article, particularly when a fight bored and enraged you. Reading this article gives you a good idea of what occurred in the fight.

      Yo Big Poppa Pump, let Reeno know that I'm a good writer and that I'd do some work for Boxing Scene also. I wanna be down with every site I can. I learned how to write about boxing here, might as well get paid, right? Next time Reeno's looking for a by line, tell him to drop me an AIM or MSN. I have Yahoo also

          Thats what I'm gonna do for my next article. I sent some stuff to them, and my english professors have been trying to get me some connects. They only have syndicated writers, theydont have a house writer. The Record has already turned me down, saying that they don't need a writer. In all fairness, I was 16 and in high school but WTF, I knew the sport. I was in talk with East Side, but they played me out. I was really discouraged when East Side turned me down, and I just about gave it up. Then in college, I learned alot of tricks and added them to my improvisational style and VOILA, I got a deal.

            Not here to rip on you, but it is always easy, but have you ever seen B.J. Flores fight?! Just wondering.

              Goldenboy, I got a question. I know you were a good athlete and all BUT have you ever cried after a game? Like after a big game and you lost or something?

                I almost did after one of our conference tourney games in high school. We were playing one of our rivals that had beaten us the last couple of trips out and while playing in the conference semi's I did everything imaginable for us to win the game but we still lost by 10. I think it was more the frustration more than anything that made me come close to crying.

                That's why I'm all about boxing now. Just you and your competition.

                  Thats what he's doing right here. It really hurt him when Manny P came back and we dropped some major bombs on him. I'm not beat to listen to this *****, because I have seen him fight many times. The website even went as far as to send me some fights on him. Goldenboy just can't believe that Manny P, when the field was evened out, pwned him. Downright embarrassed him. If Goldenboy wants to hate on me, he should go and email the site and tell them this guy doesnt know what hes talking about. Until then, I don't need to adress the haters.

                      What in gods name are you babbling about now?

                      You take the internet entirely too seriously, bottom line.
                      That's not the topic though.

                      I'm asking you why you think B.J. Flores is pure garbage. And then I asked if you'd seen him fight because you created another thread where you asked everyone if B.J. Flores was any good.

                      I'm not trying to ruin your thread, I'm just wondering why your calling an ok fighter complete garbage when you don't really have any background on him.
