Getting ready to get into the ring

Hey there, I'm Scott (or iamasadlittleboy to many) and this is a blog just for boxing fans, whether your a fan of the oldies like Dempsey, Sullivan, Tunney, Corbett or a new age fan sitting in awe at the likes of Pacquiao, Mayweather, Gamboa. A fan of the amateur game or the professionals, a cynic of the multi-title era we live in or someone who just wants to read something on the noble art you've found the right place. Having recently been asked to write a regular column for a new website that launches sometime soon I've decided to get a jump on them (sorry guys) and actually start the column a week or two early on here, or rather start my writing here.

For those who know me, they'll be aware I write for a variety of other sites, this opening entry is just me introducing myself to those who don't know me, rather than an actual column entry. I've been writing for the past year or so semi-professionally and been paid decent but not great money for a variety of things, including my favourite sport, boxing. It's recently become apparent that there is a really good set of independent boxing writers on the net, from Rich Thomas, Jake Emmen, Loren Robinson and Natasa Shepherd so if you are a boxing fan it could be worth googling their names as well as reading these columns and articles. Unlike them, I'm living behind a pseudonym, lucky me huh?

So boxing fans, hopefully you'll come back when the columns start later this week, in the mean time, here's an article for you just so you can see the sort of stuff I write.
