About Chris »

I'm a Cleveland native living in Columbus. I graduated from college with a degree in music theory, and now sell ice cream. As an avid sports fan and a voracious reader, I figured it's time to try my hand at writing.

thats great. I love reading new boxing articles. I can't wait to have a thriving boxing page on here. I also can't wait for the day every article doesn't have to be about Oscar De La Hoya to get read, either.
