    pretty sure it wasnt his column, i dont pay much attention to his opinions or comments especially in relation to former fighters of his that have seeked greener pastures and obviously suceeded

    warren said he could have got Calzaghe a better deal

    but then he would have taken a cut out of that deal

    Warrens article was laughable. I could feel the tears coming off the page.

    I think his worried, that he doesnt have any established star and it doesnt look like he is going to get one anytime soon...:good

    The sun giving Warren a 2 page spread to slag off a former fighter of his and then having less then a page about the fight from a neutral point of view stinks.

    Yep I was pretty gutted with the Suns coverage and todays papers in general. Hopefully the fight may get a decent spread tomorrow.

    I remember after Haye-Enzo nearly all the papers didn't report the fight the next day. Those that did just had a small paragraph or two. I bet if Macca had won Wazza would have made sure every one knew about it.
