Great news Brit Boxing fans

Do you think Bunce would ever publish the shite that Rafael does?

 

Read this- http://espn.go.com/sports/boxing/blog/_/name/rafael_dan

Scroll down and read his Boxing Wishes for 2011, tell me you don't agree with at least 80% of that.

 

i could list my wishes and then publish a shocking article and then have a few childish nickmnames for fighters and decide to have man love for all fighters from england , then have a twiter acount to publish all these "general forum " type thoughts on there

if you agreed with my wishlist would that make me a good journo

 

I agree with all of it.

Really good blog in my opinion.

 

You are looking for the perfect journalist, doesnt exist.

If you dont like the Twitter comments- dont read it! I dont personally.

 

Maybe I'll bump I to Rafael if he's over here then. I can finally unleash knowledge on him in a vicious verbal tirade that will cause him to have a nervous breakdown.

 

Thats an insult to Buncey

 

It's a list of bullet points. Anyone could write that.

How about this: http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showpost.php?p=8639234&postcount=1

 

:huh Thats just a list of quotes, anyone could write that also, and its also inane Haye Wlad stuff that has been cherry picked and put in a thread. Seriously, substitute "Ducker" for "Haye" and there is nothing to see there really, its all Wlad's thoughts not Rafael's.

 

Where is your art thread?

 

im not and i dont

but his tweets get posted here all the time , the man is just shameless when it comes to fighters he clearly hates and loves . hes like a general forum poster in everyway

he makes his mind up about someone and thats it its not changing no matter what happens

he cant be objective ever

he uses gay little nicknames for fighters

 

He makes some very good points, but nothing different to what the guys on here think. He just gets paid for it. GazOC is a better sports journalist and scholar of the sport than Rafael. Same for Flea, Slip, GPater and TFFP.

Anyone can write a ranting blog. Agreeing with it doesn't make the writer a good journalist.

You also said

No, but good journalists don't behave like Rafael does. I work for a few different places doing writing, and I would never put that sort of stuff without getting the other side of the story.

And the Bunce comparison some else made is shocking. There is a huge difference between Bunce the pundit and Bunce the journalist. The journalist is fantastic - clear, fair and objective. The pundit is where his personal feelings have their place.

And he very clearly divides the two. Plus his historical knowledge of the sport pisses all over a heathen like Rafael's.

 

So you think it's fine for someone who is meant to be a credible journo to write **** like 'Ducker'? It's from his twitter page, which is why it's all seperated, it's not cherry picked quotes.

 

Anyway, lets wait and see how Ringside shapes up, should be entertaining if anything.

 

Personally, no.

I would say boxing is very different to other sports, the fighters set the tone with the verbal pre-fight sparring, this filters down to the trainers, promoters, its almost inevitable that it will creep into the press too.
