Alittle unusual post, compared to the er..usual, but it is kinda related.
I've got an essay for University regarding legal and ethical issues in boxing.
after 2000 words, I never wanna talk about Boxing in my life, ever again.

Easy peasy that essay, just write about how the controls have improved. The reduction of rounds from 15+ to 12. The ringside doctors, the referee stopping for cuts and stepping in rather than waiting for the canvas.

You could still write about how the promoters are corrupt if you can find some info and fancy going on a little of a tangent.

Or have you already done the essay. 2000 isn’t much chance to get your point across is it.

Sky Box Office that is: Pay Per View. I have visions of when Prince Naseem Hamed made a mockery of the early UK PPV market. Or rather, lured in plenty of gullible punters.

Huge mismatch in size. De La Hoya will just jab away and score easily. If Pac Man can close the space though it could be very entertaining.

Is anybody really surprised that Scott Harrison has been jailed? From the sounds of that article, it might not be the only custodial he's looking at either, driving at 4 times over the limit and breaking bail conditions.

He is a truly troubled bloke though. I feel quite sorry for him. Anyone going to pay to watch the Khan fight this weekend? I’m not. Not paying for that pap.
