    Heaven forbid a journalist has the balls to call out a world class fighter for fighting a nobody.

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

      Steve Kim is very good too.
      Dan Rafael said that Derevyenchenko knocking out Soliman in 2 was sewage but cited Wade going 10 with Soliman was great win.

        Lomachenko vs Romula had 150 to 1 odds. Dan never said a word we know why.

          He never said Wade going 10 with Soliman was a great win.

          He said Derevyanchenko KO 2 wasn't a great win, but he did what he was supposed to do against a faded old boxer. Ward did not take out a old, much smaller journeyman last night.

            Who goes to Fat Dan For Boxing News? That is what Boxing Scene and the people of the Youtube Boxing Community are for!

              These guys act like childish forum trolls at times. Instead of like professionals.
              Kim is one of the worse fan boy (Boxing journo in disguise) I have zero respect for him. It's very hard to respect most of them anyways. If you have a good PR behind you, then most of these ignorant boxing journos would be eating off your plate.

                How could any professional athlete take that fat piece of amphibian lard $_hit seriously?

                  That would be true if he were actually consistent and wasn't so bias.

                    A lot of his opinion pieces are just NSB-type comments.

                    A lot of these guys could be doing a far better job. If I want to read about Ward-Brand being a mismatch I guess I could but there is enough of that kind of discussion on here. I'd rather a journalist who has good access take the time to get to know these guys, hear their stories or getting them talking on worthwhile subjects.

                    Steve Kim is a worthless **** as well. I remember his twitter feud with Darren Barker, embarrassing.
