Editor's Note: Come Out Writing

Having spent a few years launching online news outlets, we already knew that it was more complicated than simply signing up for an account and posting our thoughts on the day’s events (though some would still argue otherwise).

For example, it has become rapidly clear that this little endeavor of ours is going to take more structure than originally intended. So after a few weeks of work we’re now in the process of finalizing an editorial calendar and recruiting interns and additional staff to help divide the daily workload.

That, in short, is part explanation, part apology for the paucity of recent updates. But we’re happy with what we’ve done and value the lessons learned, and there is nowhere to go from here but up.

Monday marks our second re-launch, when we will fully transition to an online news outlet bringing you fight content every day of the week. Most of the stuff you enjoy will still be there: Gym Diary, Alphabet Soup, interviews with folks around the fight game and weekly reports from the televised fights, along with regular dispatches from cards along the East Coast.

We’re also going to try to do a better job of integrating boxing content from other Tumblr accounts, though we are going to be more discriminating about which content we feature. Hopefully getting highlighted on Stiff Jab may mean something in the near future.

At any rate, we appreciate you patience and hope you will design to stop by more frequently as we get up an running in earnest.
