Hello.

As you may have noticed, I have not been able to contribute as much to the B/R Boxing community as I have started my own boxing blog. I will try to drop a line or two but my entire focus will now shift to my chosen career path.

Please do visit my blog, http://boxerscamp.blogspot.com/, subscribe and leave your thoughts and comments. I really enjoyed my run here at B/R and will always be forever grateful to the people I have met and became online buddies with because we all share the same passion for the same sport.

Until the next hurrah.

Cheers,

Kenneth

Aha.
you are too modest my friend,..
we both know why—ITS BECAUSE you write great analysis..
No offence against any fellow writers, but websites like east-side-boxing, and boxing-news.(well lets just say some of their writers leave much to be desired in the way of analysis.)
king j int writing much lately,..so don't be surprised if you see your name among the top 5 soon.
