    You have a certain panache and manage to mix in boxing and culture at the same time,no small feat that.

    That Montero dude is starting to grow on me.
    I usually agree with his stances, and like that he doesn't care who he criticizes or who's shins he kicks.

    Doug Fisher took a big hit having to bend to GBP's will, but he's on the way back certainly after openly admitting getting overruled by his boss, and thus that Ring isn't independent anymore as anyone already figured out.

    I went off her when I found out she'd shagged Mick Hennesey. I was extremely jealous because I wanted to shag big Mick

    Benson is terrible, he literally steals content third hand and regularly doesn't give credit for sourcing. A thief not a journalist

    This .

    Anything he writes of his own is guesswork. For example when he recently stated that Povetkin was Joshua's WBO mandatory and used 'WBO sources tell me', when he has no sources and guessed it from reading WBO rules, but failed to understand Joshua is already seen as WBO super champ

    Slightly OT, but Claude Abrahams, the former Boxing Monthly editor was an uncannily accurate predictor of fights, not just outcome but down to round and MOV. Never seen anyone do it with as much accuracy 'fore nor since.

    "Sources" (unaccredited) is a journo euphemism for made up while acting on a hunch.
