Newspaper quotes can be wrong, here’s an example

[billeau2]

I read an article that said he was a correspondent for the New York Herald (he covered the fight in Reno) where he is quoted, calling Johnson a "master mouth fighter."



I have no access to old Herald articles, I wonder if anyone does?

Maybe all the talk was about selling papers, then again maybe he was a racist.

When a newspaper gets it right:

Ingemar Johansson won his last fight by decision against Brian London, but only after he’d been heavily floored and saved by the bell in the final 12th round.
A Swedish tabloid had this placard placed all over the country:
“Wake up, Ingo. You won!”
