Taylor continues his winnings ways here in Colorado Springs at the usa boxing championships. Today's contest started out with scoreless first round as both young fighters played a chess match. It was clear to see that both of these fighters were skillful and strategic. By the second round Taylor begin to take control. By the third round it was clear to see Taylor's dominance as he began to pull ahead in the scoring.
Word is that his next opponent, Dan O’Conner, Framingham, Mass., will not be easy pickens. However, Taylor's trainers and the eastern boxing region team, feel very confident that young Manny will pull another rabbit out and hat and walk away with win and national championship.

O'Conner is a good fighter, but Manny can beat him if he stays on his game. One thing for sure is that the two best are in the finals. O'Conner has had some international experience after he replaced Danny Garcia in Co. The Beltway fans could sure do themselves a favor by posting some support for this hard working young talent. When you are out there is does help to know that people back home are rooting for you. Coach Hal

Of course we support all of our guys! But I've heard Chin say in his posts, "give the man his just due and mention him on the website" - like it's his right or something. Don't you guys get it? Digital has to:

a) have the information (which he usually doesn't get on the amateurs)

b) want to post it on his site (and feel that it is newsworthy)

and

c) take the time, energy, and effort to write a professionally written, gramatically correct article!

And from the way you write, you have no idea what syntax means, what prepositions are, or even how to diagram a sentence! You have no idea the amount of time it takes to write something correctly so that it reads and flows in an appropriate manner. It is not that easy and you are living proof!

Digital is a professional writer who is hosting this blog because he loves boxing and he wants to support boxing in this area! He's not getting paid! He doesn't have to do it! You guys need to stop demanding him to do anything! He'll do it if he wants to do it!

And by the way, if learn how to speak the language and learn how to write it correctly you will be surprised at just how far that can take you in this country!

I am only defending Digital and I may have done it in a way that is offensive to some. But most of you do not appreciate the dedication that Digital has to the sport of boxing in this area. Many of you take Gary for granted. It really gets to me when someone "expects" something to be done in any walk of life. Chin has, on a number of occasions, said that this person should be mentioned, that person should be mentioned, give the man his just due, mention him on the site! That type of thing. This is America baby, nobody gives you anything! You have to earn it! Work hard, get an education, or at the very least learn how to communicate effectively, and you will go far in this country! It's either that or you better have a dynamite left hook, a chin of steel, and the ability to keep an educated eye on your money! Preferably, it should be a combination of the two but alas, those types of guys are few and far between!

You are correct I am not a writer and I appologies for any mistakes in grammer or spelling. . Proof that I should have studied harder in school. Obviously jouralism wasn't your major as well. But aside from the fact that this is not called "Spelling Along The Beltway", I have no idea what you are even talking about. You are correct that Digital does a fantastic job, as I have told him personally many times. You must have misunderstood me if you thought that I would in any way put down the best dam boxing blog site as far as I am concerned. What I was trying to convey, is that the comments area on a topic is a place to show all of our boxers support, as you have done by saying, " of couse we support our guys". As a side note, you may want to do a rewrite before critiqing anyones writing.
