Matt McGrain
“Scotland based correspondent Matt McGrain, a lifetime boxing fan, has been covering the sport for various sites for more than a decade.
As interested in the history of the sport as he is in the current scene, Matt’s favourite fighters include Charley Burley, Israel Vazquez and Roman Gonzalez, who he predicted would one day scale the p4p heights when he was still fighting at 105lbs.
Sad to see Floyd Mayweather go, and expecting to see Manny Pacquiao close behind, Matt is happy to be covering the fights for The Sweet Science at a time when a new generation of stars is emerging.”
Thomas Hauser is the author of 49 books. In 2005, he was honored by the Boxing Writers Association of America, which bestowed the Nat Fleischer Award for career excellence in boxing journalism upon him.
He was the first Internet writer ever to receive the honor. Lennox Lewis recently observed, âA hundred years from now, if people want to learn about boxing in this era, theyâll read Thomas Hauser.â
