5x expanded by Cbl62 (talk). Self-nominated at 02:00, 16 December 2021 (UTC).
Hi Cbl62, review follows: 5x expansion confirmed from 15 December; article is well written with inline citations used throughout; I am not overly familiar with sports referencing sites but happy to assume those used are reliable; I didn't pick up on any overly close paraphrasing from sources I looked at; a QPQ has been carried out; hook is interesting and mentioned in the article, my only query is that while the source cited confirms Schmeling as a former heavyweight champion I couldn't see this in the one for Loughran? - Dumelow (talk) 18:35, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review, Dumelow. Loughran was technically the light-heavyweight champion, so I've submitted alt 1 and alt 2, above.
- Hi Cbl62, ALT1 is 38 characters too long (limit is 200). ALT2 is fine but a little clunky. How would you feel about my proposed ALT3 - Dumelow (talk) 17:46, 21 December 2021 (UTC)
- ALT3: ... that Steve Hamas played in the National Football League and later beat two former boxing champions in the ring?
