While I do not normally open commentaries with reader submissions, I thought the one below was an appropriate lead. In part of my column last week, I predicted an upset in the Klitschko vs. Ibragimov bout. Reader AJ immediately called me out on the day of publication.
Here is part of his e-mail.
Chris:
I wanted to know if you wrote that piece actually believing what you were saying or just making an outrageous call on the off chance it would happen? I don’t mean to sound disrespectful, but those three tools you say Ibragimov has, “good movement, fast hands, and is a southpaw” How has Klitschko done against that blueprint in Chris Byrd?
I hope you will own up to this pick after the fact
