Exactly. Remember the when BoxingScene broke the news of the Super Six tourney and Dan appeared on Fight Camp with a smile on his fat face taking all the credit for breaking the news. Btw when I read Dans notebook it's week old information I have read from someone like the guys at BS or Maxboxing. Shit, you eaner barely report but when you do its more straight to the source quality writing.
Dan Rafael: I've reached agreement with @EpixHD to work as an analyst.

My response to your comments by number, as the good man Dougie Fischer does regularly does:1. There are quite a few people who will break news about certain fights only to have Dan write the same thing hours after as if he were the one who broke it. Steve Kim, Mark Vester etc break news as it happens
2. Steve Kim, Doug Fischer, hell even my boy Ryan Burton cover the sport more actively than Dan does. They actually go to the source (gyms, local fight cards etc) whereas Dan literally has it handed to him
3. you can even go so far as to verify that he has reported on fights that he hasn't even watched from time to time with JMM vs John being the most famous
you like fine I care less really but stop catching feelings over a guy who gives **** #1 about you and really isn't what you make him out to be
1) As a boxing writer, if there is another writer who breaks news before you, does that mean that you shouldn't mention the news at all? That doesn't make sense because a fight fan may only be following your news (say, on Twitter.) Dan is a boxing writer, and his job is to report on news as soon as he has his hands on it.
2) Steve and Doug are always at the gym, which is wonderful. However, have they ever traveled outside of California to do a "gym notes" article. I don't think so. They have the luxury of living and working in California, where a lot of fighters train and live. They work hard, but to say that Dan doesn't work hard is ignorant. His chat today was 3 1/2 hours. He doesn't have to do that at all. He can do a weekly mailbag, which would take considerably less time.
3) I can recall him mentioning JMM/John, but I never heard him "report" on it as you say. Please provide proof of what you are saying.
I am a fan of his, and I'll defend him when two idiots call him "fat." I could care less if you don't agree with that.Comment

On a much bigger note, Mahatma Gandhi isn't aware of my existence.
Does that mean that I shouldn't defend them when someone attacks them without any good reason?Comment

Okay, so you are saying that Dan should have had a glum face on because he wasn't the first to break the news of the Super Six?Exactly. Remember the when BoxingScene broke the news of the Super Six tourney and Dan appeared on Fight Camp with a smile on his fat face taking all the credit for breaking the news. Btw when I read Dans notebook it's week old information I have read from someone like the guys at BS or Maxboxing. Shit, you eaner barely report but when you do its more straight to the source quality writing.
As a boxing writer, should he have not said anything about it because he wasn't the first to know?
How does a smile translate into "taking credit"?

I am going to start writing a bit more and me and a couple other bscene guys (Luis Sandoval and Ryan Burton) are starting up bscenes radio show in the next few weeks so I will be more active on the reporting side in addition to my Everlast gigComment

You are like many users on this website.
You can say something, but you can't back it up.
People also have better things to do than to call someone "fat."
I wanted to prove that you were an ignorant fool. Mission accomplished.Comment
