    At the end we all knew last night's fight was a tune up to get ward rounds before the big showdown, if you don't like it don't watch it, dan rafael's disrespect towards the fighters is just plain wrong and unnecessary

      Well, he wasnt wrong, it was a bad fight and it looked bad that Ward couldnt finish a terribly outmatched old fighter but I agree Dan has little tact and probably should be managing a Taco Bell somewhere.

          Dan Rafael is probably the best boxing writer.

          He may get people angry sometimes for telling it like it is.

          Steve Kim is very good too.

                Again, you're giving that fat sack of crap too much credit. He shouldn't be managing ANYTHING as he doesn't understand responsibility (a key ingredient for any manager). Even at Burger King.

                  Dan Rafael is a ***ish-American and he doesn't care where a fighter is from, he just like EXCITING boxers who entertain the fans and who are GOOD FOR THE SPORT.

                  Steve Kim is fair and balanced in his commentary, he just doesn't pull any punches and he calls it as he sees it.

                  Max Kellerman was pathetic last night, he were giving so much undeserved praise and hype to Andre Ward it was sickening. The only one who was honest was Bernard Hopkins, who said Ward should have been able to stop an old, much smaller journeyman like Brand.

                    tbh most of the time Rafael says it how it is. I don't follow him on twitter or anything so when he is being a ****, it doesn't bother me.
