Martin Rogers TERRIBLE write-up of PBF-Mosley fight

Discussion in 'World Boxing Forum' started by LordSharpshire, May 2, 2010.


  1. It's one thing to read something from a boxing writer and disagree with it. It's entirely another thing to read an article from a hack who knows nothing about the sport in general. Mr. Rogers is the latter. I've decided to let Mr. Rogers know what I think about his opinions concerning Mayweather and how he should stick to sports that he knows about and actually follows...because it's clear he doesn't know much about the Sweet Science. You can contact him on Twitter: @mrogersyahoo


    Btw, Mr. Rogers is a SOCCER writer. A brief bio: Martin Rogers spent seven years as a soccer writer for the London Daily Mirror, covering the English Premier League, UEFA Champions League, UEFA Cup and international soccer. A journalism graduate from Harlow College, he is now based in Los Angeles

    Too many sport writers those days are just haters. I read that crap to I couldn’t believe what I was reading what a disgrace.

    Nothing he said was wrong or completely out of whack...it was a generally boring fight.

    I personally feel he focused on all the wrong points, but nothing he said was out of left field.

    these guys don't spend a lot of time watching boxing. they shouldn't write on something that they don't watch.

    clearly a UFC fan- who just likes to see people hitting each other- rather than boxing.

    I didnt enjoy last nite- simply because my guy was getting pummelled. but i appreciated every moment, the footwork , the balance, the spacing, the timing employed by mayweather was as good as i ve ever seen. I cant think of any other welterweight in history that could have been that dominant against shane mosley. im not saying that hes the greatest- im just sayin if sugar fought the other sugars even- he wouldve hit them more than what he did last nite. Floyd closes the shop when he fights- when he wins- he sucks the air out of the stadium cos he cant get hit- and he smothers everything. some people call that boring i guess.

    A bit biased yes, but nothing too ridiculous imo. It wasn't a great fight, and I can't see casual fans who tuned in to see a great fight being too impessed with it.

    Those DLH and Schaefer post fight quotes were cringeworthy. Seems Pac is GBP's Public Enemy #1. Can't believe they're still allowed to steal money from Pac's fights.

    I honestly hate Schaefer, the guy a true scumbag. The **** just flat out lies his ass off like he believes fans are stupid. His comments before the fight about how Mayweather and Mosley were the two best fighters in the world were pitiful, and another cheap shot at Pac. This guy is worse than De La Hoya on the credibility scale.
