K C Boxing News

From Mark Graves:Beginning in April 2010, this site renamed to KC Fight News This was due to the previous site being lost.

In addition to the name change, more than boxing
content will become available. I currently co-host and
engineer "From The Corner" which airs each Friday
night from 6-7 on 1140 AM and 1160 AM.

Below provides the original intent of the site:

The site is from a fans perspective - me as a fan I mean. I love following the local boxing scene even more than the national one so far. It has gotten too expensive for the PPV so I mainly focus on KC. The site started at the end of 2004 by myself and a friend. My friend got the structure for the site and sent me on my way. The reason we built the site was to have a place where fans could go and find out about all the pro boxing matches in KC and the surround areas. Before we launched the site, I had been taking notes about fights and fighters so I could remember them the next time I saw them. That is how the archives and boxers pages started. At the time, I only knew about Battle Star fights and when I found out there were more fights scheduled, I felt there needed to be a place people could go to find out about them so we built the site. Then I ended up getting a radio show originally called The K C Boxing News Radio Show. It changed when I got Dave McKee as my partner on the air and it became Ringside Radio because Dave was writing for ringsidereport.com at the time. Once I started the radio show, I began to do my reviews on the air instead of the round-by-round written format found on the archives page. Just lazy to be honest. I no longer have the weekly radio show about boxing but I am still on KCXL. In April of 2006, I took and passed the ABC Certification test for boxing judges. I am very happy about that and I may get to judge fights someday.
