That’s very flattering. Thank you. It means a lot to me.

If it goes twelve and is vaguely close, the crowd will probably be enough of a factor to guarantee Joshua the win. Thanks for the thumbs up.

I don’t know how long it was, but Deadspin ran this incredible article about Crawford by Daniel Roberts. http://deadspin.com/bud-crawford-is-an-anomaly-1738267028

If Joshua wins tonight, the all-Brit matchups he can have in the next two years could all wind up being pretty exciting (if one-sided) fights.

Definitely so. Risk/reward, and all that.

Thank you, Robert. You’re one of the writers (boxing and otherwise) whose work I aspire to. Hamilton’s in that group too. The 2 round prediction, although made seriously, also has a major metaphoric element.

Thanks for the thumbs up on the piece. And remember: I lost my biggest bet.

Let me know if you’re looking for a partner in the t-shirt business. Much obliged for the vote of confidence.

Looking forward to that meeting. Thanks for the kind words.

Hope it was worth its length, man. Thanks for sticking it out to the end.

I hope Christmas was a good holiday for you, Mike. Thanks for the kind words.

Thank you. I’m glad someone noticed that.

Have Norm get in touch as soon as possible.

Just saw your response, and wanted to belatedly thank you for it. Very kind of you.

No, he’s the most powerful person in the world. I’m just a person, possibly no better than you. I didn’t show him. I just wrote about something that happened. People can make what they will of it.

And at any other time in recent US history, we’d both be laughing together at your comment.

I look forward to our meeting, Richard. Sorry it’ll have to be under such inhospitable conditions.

Tremendous of you to see that. Thank you.

That’s very kind of you to say. Much thanks.

This is wonderful to hear. I’m grateful for your telling me..
