About the blog:

The Queensberry Rules, aka TQBR, is devoted to following the sport of boxing. It derives its name from the rules that govern boxing, which were published in 1867 and named after the 9th Marquess of Queensberry. We once went by the name Ring Report.

We encourage you to participate by creating an account and commenting on blog entries. (TQBR reserves the right to remove comments and ban commenters who use abusive language, like racial slurs.) We also encourage you to consider writing guest blog entries.

If you are a blogger who writes about boxing, contact us via Tim Starks about link exchanges. We'll be most inclined to link to sites that we enjoy and that have been around for a little while.

All images are copyright their respective owners unless otherwise noted. If you would like an image removed, please let us know and we'll do so promptly.

About the proprietor:

Tim Starks started a boxing blog called Seven Punch Combo in 2007 before joining MVN that same year. He joined Bloguin in 2009. He also has contributed to Ring magazine, The Sweet Science, East Side Boxing and Bad Left Hook. His boxing writing has been cited by The Wall Street Journal, The Village Voice, Deadspin and other publications. When not writing about boxing, Tim reports on intelligence agencies for Congressional Quarterly.

Tim has been called a "crack head" on national television for no apparent reason and a "baby killer" by commenters on this very blog who disagreed with an April, 2008 decision to bump Manny Pacquiao down from #2 to #3 on his list of today's best fighters. His 10 favorite boxers include, in no particular order, the Marquez brothers, Miguel Cotto, Israel Vazquez, Nonito Donaire, Chad Dawson, Yuriorkis Gamboa, Paul Williams, Juan Manuel Lopez, Tomasz Adamek and... Manny Pacquiao. (Yes, that's technically 11, but he's counting the Marquez brothers as one.)
