"The Dinosaurs Come Home to Roost" on BraggingRightsCorner.com
We are now in an era of the dominance of the so-called Web 2.0 services, meaning those with an emphasis on interactivity like the social networking site MySpace.com.
Most of boxing, however, is still in an era of ink-stained, cigarette-smoking, fedora-wearing drunks banging away on manual typewriters.
Guess where the younger fans are going?
There is, however, one major exception. That is the subject of my column "The Dinosaurs Come Home to Roost" which appears on BraggingRightsCorner.com.
Check it out, learn, comment, and enjoy.

The younger 2.0 targets are interested more in mixed martial arts then boxing. Boxing is not graphic enough for the generation raised on violence.
