FightHypeUK's got several articles that really are better than a gin and tonic.
Or you could read them while drinking a gin and tonic (I'm a gin and club soda man myself).
http://uk.fighthype.com/ (if you're on the Front Page of FH, it's under the 'EXTRA' tab)
Here's a listing of the most recent cold refreshment:
20th June - 'HAYE COLLECTS LUXEMBOURG LICENCE' - Update on Haye/Chisora. We're getting closer to rumble time.
20th June - 'VIDEO - A DETAILED LOOK AT THE COMMENTARY FOR PACQUIO VS. BRADLEY' - Actions speak louder than words, let's go back to the tape.

20th June -'IS BRITISH BOXING ON THE RISE?' - Is U.K boxing moving in the right direction and if it is, who's responsible?

18th June- 'HAYE VS. CHISORA...FIGHT OPINIONS' - Predictions from a nice cross-section of British boxing trainers, fighters, managers and promoters.
18th June -'5 REASONS WHY PACQUIAO VS. BRADLEY CONTROVERSY BENEFITS BOB ARUM' - The title sums it up and the article explains why. Can't keep a good Bobfather down.

Full Version: FightHypeUK Blog - Better than a gin and tonic
I've kept my eye on this UK blog, and read some of it when I've had the chance. The front page is a nightmare for my attention deficit disorder (a slight touch of it), a beautiful nightmare, might I add. I will catch myself reading something, then see a tweet suddenly pop up, then I'm lost. 
Scott has some good stuff up there, and I saw his footage from the recent Khan presser earlier this month. There's another name that I noticed on one of the columns...somebody that told me that they're pursuing a writing career of some sort. Hmm...I wonder who that person could be, I think I have a concrete idea, and the column was great sir!

Yeah, Scott's a man with a plan.
Ha, yeah thanks. There's a lot going on and I'm pretty sure that the blog's going to reflect that. It's just a shame that I couldn't sign the article as Cheesey1. Talk about compromising one's artistic integrity or what.

Either way it goes, it's great work my man! I cant knock it! I hope Scott's work will bring more UK fans to the board, but hell, maybe that's up to us too.

I have some family and friends in the U.K, so hopefully they can spread the word. I'm going to open a twitter account either today, or tomorrow too (haha, I resisted as long as I could).

Im seriously considering the twitter stuff as well, and I must admit, I've held out for as long as I could. Lol. Facebook was enough for me, especially some of the idiots looming around on there.

Yup. Twitter's apparently a neccessary evil. The shame, the shame....

I'll be part of the evil by the end of the day. I've been talked into it numerous times, so I'll give it a shot.
how soon before we open the Puerto Rican blog?

Not sure - but if it happened, would it be better than a bacardi and coke? (I couldn't think of another "typical" Puerto Rican drink).

that's a hard one to beat.
If there is a PR boxing blog, then there needs to be at least 2 pictures of PR women in the body part of the column, so my eyes wont start wandering (just to help my A.D.D.) Lol.
Thats an official request if the idea is in the works. Put it like this, the chicks can have boxing gloves on...it's still boxing, right?

An inspired suggestion CShel. That blog will probably have more views than all of the boxing sites on the planet, combined.
