@TruSchoolSports Sergiy (who is 40) and Berlanga aren't "the future." They will serve as "opponents." Every rising fighter needs a "name opponent" here and there. That's all it is.

@KylewhiteNew There were tens of thousands of people in attendance, and there's not a single frame of film, or a single photo taken, of any change of gloves. No reporting of a glove change by the British media in the days after. The story just grew over the years. Still won't die.

[Mark Dodge @MarkODodge]

@KylewhiteNew Years later, when the film of the fight was made available, people who had been spreading the rumor for years were suprised there was no footage of the glove change. There wasn't because it never happened. The full film shows the story was totally made up by Dundee.

[Mark Dodge @MarkODodge]

@KylewhiteNew Dundee told the story for years because the fight wasn't televised on US television. The rumor spread (and still does). But it never happened. There was no delay. The glove wasn't changed. The next round started on time. No British paper at the time reported any delays.

@WorldBoxingNews It's Wilder's 50th pro fight, too. I don't know why they just keep repeating it's Chisora's 50th.

@Kensington_Gore Love it. 🧐

Come up with a simple plot and fill it with complex characters. You should be able to describe your plot in one sentence. Everything else that happens should result from your characters' decisions. #Story #Writing #Writers #Booksky #WritingCommunity

@honeymoon250 All 20. Hell, I think I did eight of them this week. 🧐

@GrageDustin "Properly trained" officers are NOT taught to stand in front of a stopped car or to immediately walk up to a stopped car and try to force the door open. Doing so puts everyone in danger. If a panicked driver is expected to assess the situation, so should guys with the guns.

That's right, it's 2026.
And no one knows how, but Keith Richards is still here.

@DAZNBoxing Anthony Joshua just needs to tape blinking lights to his nipples and not throw any punches, and Jake Paul will be fine. ���🙃 #boxing

Sit on a bench where people congregate. #Describe three #people in as much detail as possible: their gestures, what they're wearing, and what they're saying. Don't pass judgment. Let the descriptions do the talking. #Writer #Writing #WritingPrompt #Exercise #Write

@MJG_Write Great job. 🙂

Miles Davis composed the Elevator to the Gallows (1958) score in a single session while watching the film. After noting a rough cut, he gathered 4 musicians without rehearsal & recorded it in one take, creating a landmark in improvised film scoring.

"Write what you know" was good advice for novelists when most of them had been drafted, or hitchhiked across the country with drug-addled degenerates, or worked as a migrant rancher. It’s bad advice for people who mostly just know how to turn in homework assignments.
