Just Telling Like It Is
Sometimes it’s just best to say what you feel and let the chips fall where they may. Yesterday we gave our views on a few topics and it looks like our readers not only agree with us but they are glad we have the intestinal fortitude to let it all hang out. Here’s what our readers had to say;
Competitors
There is no competition out there for you guys punching Billy and the boys are the only ones who tell it like it is with no agenda. I’ve been in this business for a while now,and seen too many so called experts in this game blow smoke up fighters,trainers promoters asses,that seem to serve a certain agenda whether its getting interviews or whatever. There are a few good ones out there such as yourself,but too many kiss asses.im a throwback kind of guy call a spade a spade and don’t be afraid to give credit when it is due and don’t be afraid to criticize someone.this is boxing if you cant take criticism your in the wrong business,people (fans) deserve the truth. Sometimes I read certain interviews or press releases and think Im watching an advertisement.
Gus
Thanks Gus. It’s no big secret that many only tell what they are “supposed” to and really don’t have any real views on the game. None that they are willing to post, that’s for sure. We took a stand to say what we feel and we are glad our efforts have not gone by unnoticed. It’s readers like you that keep us motivated to tell it like it is.
Sulaiman
Hey I read your article on Manny Vs Oscar and I agree with Suliman that fight is a complete mismatch.The fight should not even take place regardless of how much money is involved. Manny is 5′ 6 and does not posses great defensive skills. He stands in front of his opponents and exchanges blows. He had trouble with Marquez not to mention he has never been tested at that weight limit. The media should really be discouraging this fight. If Oscar truly wants a great fight as he often mentions why not fight Margarito for the title. However after watching Margarito dominate Cotto, Oscar would most likely want to stay away from him.
Ronnie
You would be surprised how many in the media feel exactly like you and Sulaiman, too bad most of them won’t say it. We found the quotes from Sulaiman this weekend and felt they needed to be addressed. Hopefully the powers that be will take these views to heart, and then maybe, just maybe, Margarito will get his much deserved shot at Oscar.
