    "As of this writing–5 p.m. EST–the last five posts on RingTV.com are about Golden Boy Promotions. A post announcing that Cristian Favela will now be facing Jessie Vargas in the main event of the Fright Night Club “premiere–“ as if the world were waiting with collective bated breath for this woebegone series–is filled with shill talk.
    From RingTV: “Favela (28-31-7, 18 KOs) is 1-1-5 in his last seven bouts, but four of the five losses (all of which were competitive) were to unbeaten prospects, including Abdullai Amidu, who had stopped 17 opponnets in 18 consecutive victories.”
    Yes, Fischer misspelled “opponents” and also misstated Favela’s record over his last seven fights. It is 1-5-1.
    Why does RingTV feel like it has to boost up the woeful career record of Favela? (Cristian Favela is 3-14-1 in his last 18 fights.) Why not just let facts speak for themselves? Instead of just saying that Favela has stepped in as a late substitute against Vargas—which would fall in line with the pseudo-journalistic pose RingTV often adopts–we have to read about how competitive Favela has been lately and how hard it was for GBP matchmakers to find a late stand-in over the weekend and the “national holiday.”
    “It wasn’t easy finding a fighter willing to commit to the Feb. 24 date.” writes Doug Fischer. “For starters they only had a few days notice and Vargas, who is trained by Roger Mayweather, is (sic) punishing boxer-puncher.”

    "Next, the headline for a puff piece on the Morales-Maidana mismatch is—and this is flabbergasting—“Better With Age (and a few pounds?)” Again, we need to be clear here: if this was a Top Rank fight, Michael Rosenthal would use all of his limited rhetorical skills to lambaste it. What we have, instead, is a shill-fest making excuses for how far Morales has slipped. The Cruelest Sport, known for its grimness, laughed out loud upon reading this gem:
    “I fought Chavez, Hernandez, Barrera and Pacquiao in less that a year and a half,” Morales said. “Each fight was a hard 12 rounds.”
    Is it any wonder he lost his next four bouts?"


    the magazine,rankings and the belts are still godly but the website seems bias.also the removal of raskin and detloff as writers was just dumb
