Thanks for reading, for the very generous assessment, and the education on how things are done in British press offices.  I’m still laughing.  

Thanks for reading the piece and for the kind words.  I can see what you’re saying about Povetkin looking desperate and Joshua getting the measure of him. It’s certainly as plausible a take on the fight as mine.

I was in the boxing business for a very long time, so I try to write about what I know.  Easiest way to reach me is at Wortri@aol.com.  Thanks again.

This means a great deal to me to hear.  Thank you for letting me know.  Deadspin provides me a terrific forum for my work; I intend to stay at it. Eddie Goldman has joined the Deadspin ranks in the last couple of days.  You should check him out if you don’t already know his work.  

Thanks for letting me know you enjoyed the piece.  I really appreciate your having taken the time to read it.

Thanks for the kind words.   And I couldn’t agree more about the kind of skill that radio commentators had in earlier eras.  I was actually trying to describe the fight as if it were being broadcast on the radio. 

You bet.  Thanks.  I appreciate the offer.  I’ve read “Fat City” many times too.  

“Shadowy corners and blinding spotlights” is really great.  I’m jealous. 

I have a feeling that it’s Fury if things go long, Wilder early, if Fury turns out not to have much left.

Thanks for taking a considerable amount of time to read a very long piece. It means a lot to me that you enjoyed it. I can’t get a good read on Fury-Wilder, but tend to agree with you. And Joshua shouldn’t have a problem with either.
