You can root for whoever you want, whichever promoter or network, whatever, but it feels like spending 20 minutes telling viewers a fight could be a total mismatch due to a weight disparity and 5 talking about it being a decent matchup is... less than ideal.

You have to admit the idea of me getting kicked out of the Boxing Writers Association of America by being sent the BWAA Awards Ceremony official program (one of the benefits of being a member, btw) where my name was taken off the member list... is actually pretty funny! 😂

Not kidding, it's kinda hilarious. Paid dues, never got much out of being a member, kicked out shortly after the great guy who vouched for me (Tom Gerbasi) passed away, and following 4-5 straight years of them sending me stuff to a wrong out of state address. Blessed 😂🤷‍♂️
