        this was a long time coming. he was vying for a job over there for a while. with that said, i seriously question his qualifications. not on his contact but on his raw knowledge of the sport and the boxers who are less well known.

          Matchmaker not unofficial scorer

          this rumor has been going around for about 6 months with Dan secretly telling everyone he wants this job.

          cannot stand him but if he does indeed get the job I wish him well only because the state of the sport I love is on the line

              Just read the article. Kinda unexpected but I'm cautiously optimistic, if only because HBO has been a malaise for a while, and change is needed (by all accounts, Kery Davis is gonna be let go if this happens).

                And what did he say?

                But yeah, I was lmao when I saw his name appear on the screen for press row scoring.

                    he basically said he gave the rounds to the heavier puncher.

                    I told him all the trips to Oxnard swayed his scoring and that there were times when not only was Acosta the better boxer but also the harder puncher. He blindly defended his stance and I realized nothing was going to come of it so I left it at that
