    Boxing needs more Elie Seckbach's

    Elie asks a lot of whack questions and says a lot of ****** stuff but he gives the fans good behind the scenes videos of fighters/trainers relaxing/training. Im sure he has made a lot of people fans of Brandon Rios and Robert Garcia and he used to have good videos at Wildcard Boxing Club as well. Boxing needs more reporters to do good footage of fighters training and see what their personalities are like. Fighting on HBO/Showtime twice a year is not doing the job and they need to give the fans an opportunity to get to know the fighters. I like the new HBO series 2 Days that have featured Brandon Rios and James Kirkland and I think that is a smart move on HBO's part. I would also recommend HBO to give guys like Saul Canelo Alvarez air time on 24/7 to introduce him to a wider American audience. 1 thing I do like about Elie's channel is how he is at local gyms and you see amateur Boxing and you see a lot of just uncut stuff that happens at the gyms. I think it would help Boxing a lot if there was a lot more local reporting on gyms in wherever the reporter lives. I just feel there is tons of Boxing content out there and that there is really no platform for it to betold. What you guys think?

      Completely agree. I enjoy his vids, and his goofy persona/questions. Look at what a difference one person makes.

          I know imagine if Boxing had reporters that do know Boxing and were doing what he is doing. I am a big fan of the Koncrete Jungle but I feel like they do not have enough content and videos.

              That's part of his appeal. His interviews make anyone watching feel like an expert because he asks such dumb questions. He doesn't ask any tough questions but that makes fighters more willing to talk to him, IMO.

                I think Gyms like Wildcard Boxing Club, Gleason's Gym, Joe Hand's gym and the hit factory should all have youtube accounts helping promote their fighters and cards.

                  I don't like how he terrorizes and annoys the garcia camp. I mean a couple of visits a week is okay I guess but come on.

                    Elie is hilarious. This guy calls anyone that wears gloves a "boxing legend." Someone look up the video... I vaguely remember him calling Zab Judah a "boxing legend" leading up to the Khan/Judah fight.

                    At the least, he's very entertaining.
