Dan, I have a real question/problem for you. I love your commentary and how complete it is. I have been an early adopter, subscriber and supporter and am a fan of your coverage, BUT...I DVR fights, particularly on a night like last night. So I watch Lopez/Kambousis and it's amazing, but I can't watch Fulton/Figueroa, so I DVR it. Already, based on past experience I know I have to race to watch it in the morning because I KNOW that the subject line of your email summary is going to spoil the result for me. Sure enough, I didn't get to it fast enough today, even the quickest glance at my emails (to check on work emails, for example) and I'm screwed. The result is spoiled for me. This has happened to me at least a half dozen times. It's a real problem for me. Do I have a solution? I don't know...I guess to report, you've GOT to immediately list the result in the SUBJECT LINE? Do you, though? I mean... I'm going to read your email. Does listing the result of the fight prominently in the subject line (something you clearly do deliberately every time) draw eyes? Is there a way your could tease what the article is about without spoiling it? I guess what I'm asking is: Is there a way you can NOT spoil the result of fights from the night before using the subject line? Mind you, I know you're not "spoiling", but reporting so I don't mean to offend...but the immediacy of the medium combined with your use of the subject line has and continues to meaningfully negatively impact my ability to enjoy the sport we love. I find it hard to believe that I'm alone in this. Again, this is not an idle inquiry. It's a real problem for me...Thanks
When I want to avoid a result I am militant. No phone. No email. No NOTHING. That's the way. Don't look at emails until after you watch the fight. What can I do? It's on the reader, not the reporter. I feel your pain but nothing I can do on my end.
Well...you COULD tease in the subject line, a la FIGHT OF THE YEAR CANDIDATE: FULTON/FIGUEROA *SPOILERS AHEAD* and I don't really see how that hurts your brand keeping in mind the relative immediacy of your work. That said, I guess I get it. I mean...I see the *spoilers ahead" strategy employed successfully in other media, for example, in timely analysis/commentary/comedy of movies that are still in theatres (Screen Rant's Pitch Meeting and Honest Trailers, as YouTube examples). Anyway, thanks for listening. Still a fan.
I counted Fulton holding 9 times 11th round then 11 times in the 12th round all those while backing up. So back up then throw punches then hold.
Judges think great boxing and you will win.
