"But just because they should have been more careful about what Canelo put into his mouth doesn’t mean he’s a cheater or that he’s trying to cheat for this bout or that he should automatically be punished and the May 5 rematch should be postponed or cancelled."
I know some here don't regard DF as unbiased, but this just takes the cake, talk about being faithful to whoever signs your paycheck.
I don’t really take this guy seriously. For me him and people like Steve Kim have zero credibility. They target certain demographics and use race to bait/stereotype fans. Their opinions hold no credibility.
He is actually a lil b1tch. My buddy confronted him at the Forum after Fisher was getting all tough with him on Twitter I believe. He was scared sh1tless and kept saying he had no beef. His buddy had to go get security.
Wow. :lol1: :lol1:
I vaguely remember. Lol
Fischer seems like the type to talk tough online, but sh1t his pants in any real life confrontation.

I like Dougie but he is contradicting himself here. I realize Oscar is essentially writing his paychecks, so he may or may not be able to say what he's really thinking, but it's very difficult to defend Canelo in 2018. If this were 2011 maybe, but not after 7 years of athletes using the tainted meat excuse.

LMFAO! He might have a bit of a point though with some being so driven by money so hard that they steer clear of certain fights because of $$, but yeah for real you could word that better.

It all goes that way when people sign for a big company, very sad to see that individuals can't hold an opinion of their own.
Any guy that looks and sounds like doug fischer knows jack sh1t about boxing.......even though canelo gave up his middleweight belt instead of facing triple this trainspotter fischer still recognised canelo as lineal champion.
GBP own this buffoons a$$ at ring magazine so don't expect any neutrality from him......proper weirdo

This guy is most biased writer in boxing.He is a total fraud.
I think this is a pretty objective take. Was Canelo trying to cheat? Yeah, probably. But we really don't know and who knows if they'll be able to even get to the bottom of it
Even though this was weak as hell, Doug Fisher is a good dude. I don't agree with everything he says but he's OK in my book
Generally agree. And he’s very good when he goes into boxing history to provide perspective that others don’t, with a real enthusiasm. That’s pretty cool.
But he does seem to have a fatty for Canelo like the test of the industry....
I noticed the same vibe, but the OP put it beautifully in stark black and white.
Canelo always seems to receive extra credit from the whole industry, the judges, the writers, the loud little pundits. There’s always this air of getting a free pass because he’s the “A side.” Or whatever it is. I don’t like it.
Yes. The best day ever on Twitter
I vaguely remember. Lol

Yeah dougie has little credibility.
Or the whole good Black people/bad Black people thing with the Demograpic, pointing out specific segments that were bad fans. Funny how he doesn’t do that for other races. Right then and there, I realized he was an insecure idiot.
He is black (or mixed black) and his family is black. I don't think he's on some Clayton Bigsby ****.
Doug is a good guy and I've enjoyed his stuff since HOB (back in the late 90's), had beers with him and talked to him at plenty of fights.
I don't agree with his take on giving Canelo he benefit of the doubt but it's all good though. Hard to agree on everything.
Yeah he's decent for the most part in my opinion. I don't read the Ring these days but I'll check out the website when he answers readers questions. 'Monday mailbag' I think it may be called? That's usually a good read.
I let my subscription to The Ring lapse after they put him in charge. Lifelong reader, but I could not abide that shit. Dougie is the ultimate biased basement dwelling wierdo with completely outlandish views on everything. Dude always has an agenda.
What's that quote from him about black people not being real boxing fans because they didn't like Gerry Cooney, again? :rofl:
