Anyone sick of the silence on the Elie Sekbach/Brandon Rios beef?

[paulf]

I'd really like to see that. Got a link, bro?

[John Barron]

i've always thought seckbach was actually mentally ******ed. NBA players and boxers felt sorry for him so they gave him an all access pass. anybody, ANYBODY could be a better journalist than seckbach. he would ask you if you felt like taking a **** 5 minutes ago and that'd be the whole interview.

I don't know about that. A lot of these dudes claim an impressive roster of a s s they've tapped when really they're only tapping Manuela de Palma nightly.

Elie never brags at all about hitting some nice a ss, he actually never talks about it, but some people have said he has ****** a couple of those hot latinas who are just starting out and he tries to help out. I am guessing he tells them the classic line that he has connections? He was also dating that fine white newscaster Stella, its like the odd couple, he would bring her to the fights all the time they were dating and she moved to another state for a job.


Elie is a playboy, he is very low key like a true player he never brags. you can never really trust the comments on his videos or facebook but someone said he had a son, so Elie keeps his private life private.

He asks about Mayweather and Pacquiao so he can put their names in the video title, which means more hits, which is apparently all he lives for.

I do actually like the stuff from Robert Garcia's gym, there are a lot of very good videos from there and the 'Robert Garcia Reality Show' can actually be quite good as well. Garcia seems to regard him as part of the furniture at this stage, and if he doesn't mind Elie being there then I suppose it shouldn't bother us either.

The questions are truly moronic at times though. 'Hey Kelly, Brandon Rios wears red boxing gloves, what do you think about that?', or one of my personal favourites, where he asked Robert Garcia if his kids were 'undefeated' in Fight Night Champion.

He also has a beef with Dan Rafael, HBO and Boxing Scene he claims they steal his stuff and gets mad.

Also remember when he scored press row for the Rios vs. Acosta fight? he had it all the way in favor of rios before the second half of the fight haahaha Rios was clearly losing the early part.

The worst is when he interviews celebrities at movie premieres and asked them about Manny Pacquiao, lol completely irrelevant question to ask at a movie premiere and he asked it like 4 years ago before Pacman really blew up.

Dude is just random and asks embarrassingly awkward questions.

I remember when he told UFC fighter Dan Henderson you have an accent where were you born? and Henderson said I was born here in California.

LOL he thought Henderson was from another country.

[Assteroid Field]

Thanks. When did this happen anyways?

That Elie guy is annoying. I can see fighters getting to the point of not wanting him around. I mean they seem able to handle exposure to the guy once but it would get tiresome very quickly after that. The questions he asks are inane, his observations are inept and his lack of professionalism is headache inducing.

[Jam Jars]

The best Seckbach videos are the ones were he asks dumb question to Goossen and it pisses him off. LOL

[sicko]

Chris Robinson is 100x better then Elie it is not even close, I see people on Chris youtube videos talking about "Elie This, Elie That" Elie was not even the first on youtube to cover boxing nor was he the first to go to gyms and interview trainers and fighters

Elie was Covering and annoying the *** out of the Lakers about 3 years ago

I do watch his videos and I respect his efforts because they guy be EVERYWHERE covering boxing but I do think people at the Gyms get tired of him after awhile asking the same questions OVER AND OVER

[ROSS CALIFORNIA]

Elie is a dork and he asks the most ridiculous questions but I can't fault the guy for trying to make a living doing something he loves.

I think its awesome he gives the fans a look into the gyms of top tier boxers and such but I don't know about anybody else but when training the last thing I would want is some guy shoving a camera in my face and asking a load of silly questions. Once a week or so, fair enough but not everyday! He used to follow Rios around like a lost puppy, the guy couldn't even take a **** in peace without Elie following him to the bog and asking ****** questions. ''Hey Brandon how many sheets of ar5e wiping material you used? Do you have a message for your fans?''

Ain't that the truth. I even noticed Kelly Pavlik getting tired of the constant camera in his face. Ellie can be a little rude at times too. Still, I'd like to know what happened between him and Rios. Rios and Ellie were better off with each other than without each other.

Chris is better because he was a legit boxing fan before he even got into the interviewing game.

Elie just stumbled upon it by accident, when he was sent to cover a story for AOL fanhouse and he was the only reporter available than when he posted the video he got like 300 thousand hits from that one pacquiao interview he did.

Elie has so much access to gyms its not even funny, but he doesn't do anything to improve his interviews he asks the same question over and over to the same people, and he does it for hits.

He is not a legit fan of boxing like Chris Robinson.
