        And when he breaks something its neutral honest and non bias

        Coppinger now has bias since he signed with PBC and on FOX

        Kevin Iole is a real douchebag always hating on boxing, because he works for UFC
        I met most of these top guys in person bumping into them at the fights. Kevin is old as hell looks like he's like 70 and in bad shape. Kevin wasn't a D-Bag towards me he was actually really nice believe it or not I asked him for his prediction on the upcoming fights and he have me a real legit honest answer. I do see him going off on fans tho a lot on Twitter. Isn't it funny he writes for yahoo sports that's like a step away from aol sports or friendster in terms of relevancy lol.

        I never met Coppinger but all the fight fans who talk about him are usually complaining about things he tweets but I dont follow him so I dont know? I know he pretty much had beef with all the other writers except fat dan. I remember some other writer was calling him out for talking down to the fight fans and for saying Jimmy's Corner was trash and overrated or something?

        Fat dan I met a few times and he's not the most friendliest guy. He knows he's like the biggest writer and name in the sport so he does act like he's a celeb or something. Unlike Kevin he won't give u like predictions or answer questions if u ask him face to face. Sad thing is he does actually have fans and groupies who try to hang around him after the fights and some Guys take pics with him as if he's a fighter or celeb. (face palm)

        I haven't met Lance but he is again the only writer who's not an insecure douche bag or self entitled. Again he had the balls to call out Canelo for the clen bust and he wasn't scared that it would hurt his access to Canelo or GB at their events. In fact they ended up freezing him out when it came for his turn to ask questions.


        I remember Lance was the first guy I saw who actually announced MAYPAC and then Fat Dan like usual writes a story acting like he broke it first. Others also criticize fat dan for stealing other's work, other's interviews, quotes, and breaking news.

        No one questions Fat Dan he'll just take a smaller writers breaking story and break the news as his own and since he has way more influence and followers they see his story first and that original writer gets F'd over.

        This is a legit reason to hate Fat Dan, but often others hate Fat Dan for just being Fat and Obese a lot of the time.

          I never met any of them but I seen Kevin Iole in person at a boxing event in Cali and that dudes stomach is HUGE wtf

          Lance also covers UFC, he is probably the best reporter on combat sports because he doesn't really give his opinions he stays as balanced as possible.

            How did mike's Fox show go? Anyone catch it?

            The only time I saw Mike speak was on some RING mag youtube video where he's calling out Lou DiBella for not making Sergio Martinez fight GGG.
