One Two Combo Gets a One Two Combo

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008

The two most recent comments in Billy’s Blog have made me come to the realization that what we are doing here at Pound4Pound is working. When we fired this puppy up in 2004 there was an air of uncertainty among many as to whether this would work or not.

These two comments, which come from either end of the spectrum should be a good indication that we are not only growing, but we are here to stay.

Frank Boff Says:

Your site is one of the few crusading sites in boxing, and when a writer does some extraordinary piece like the one you put a link to, your readers will thank you for running it, especially the majority who don’t read every other site. Unlike your hated rivals, the object of sports journalism is the furthering of truth, which you did here. Spreading the word by displaying the Hauser article is totally in line with your sites mission statement. And, this is not like quoting a rival site like ESPN or Yahoo . Hauser is a verified institution, not merely a Seconds Out writer. He is far more than that, and his platform goes way beyond that. This is a must read, and must be read by as wide an audience as possible. Congrats to pound4pound for having the insight and the balls for linking to another site in the name that is all for good for boxing. The only one with bigger balls than P4P is whoever the source was that leaked all that HBO information.

I came across the site by chance. It’s def. unique that’s for sure. I love it and just bookmarked it. I spent the last hour reading the archived reports on the left hand side. Really some good stuff. And the blog is pretty funny too. Thank you

To Mr. Boff who has obviously been with us long enough to realize our mission statement, we thank you for you support. It’s not always easy making decisions to the content on our site and the Hauser piece was no exception. It was just something that needed to be read and we are thankful you are with us on that one. We thank you in advance for continuing to visit Pound4Pound and we look forward to hearing from you again.

To our newest reader J.J., what can I say? Thanks for pointing out our site is in fact unique. I hope the time you spent on our site upon your discovery was time well spent and we promise to keep bringing you the same type of content that had you book mark Pound4Pound.

From long time readers to first timers, we are thrilled to hear from you all and hope that you will keep letting us know how you feel about our site.

A big thanks to both of you!
