Re: My Second Boxing Article is on BoxRec
Interesting read, though not as good as your first one, which was excellent!
There's a problem with this sentence: "After his training sessions sweats more than a fat postman after a double shift and in the ring"
This kind of construction is a little cumbersome (and over used): "He is confident in his own abilities, but if you’re looking for a man full of soundbites, then you had better talk to someone else."
Similar: "If this is what the modern sportsman is, then our Mr Dixon is positively old fashioned."
I like this: "with the intention of doing one thing... punching another man in the face until someone tells him to stop"
Keep them coming!

Re: My Second Boxing Article is on BoxRec
Thanks for the comments, good and bad. the line "with the intention of doing one thing... punching another man in the face until someone tells him to stop" is the bit that is pure me. It only took me an hour to write, when I write the next one I'm going to out more me in it.Superheavy wrote:Interesting read, though not as good as your first one, which was excellent!

Good read that John. Was looking out for spelling and grammer mistakes, but being shit at English myself I would not have a clue if there was any.
I will be keeping my eye on him as well.

Articles which go on BoxRec News are edited - and not just for spelling and grammar either. I don't just let any old shite go up, though some might see things differently.stevek3lly wrote:Good read that John.

There will always be errors though, especially as I'm always doing it at speed.
