your stars are but dust on my shoes
His job includes insider reports, I don't see what's wrong unless he's really just making these up which I don't think. Hit and miss, I read news from him that later proven to be BS but also true ones, like the Canelo deal last time where he also got shytted on both by Canelo and Reynoso only to the proven true later.
It's time for the boxing industry to stop feeling appalled every time a reporter posts supposed insider info. He has his sources, it's his job to report these even if it's uncomfortable for ppl in the industry.

It's been open season on Copp since Bob told him to shut the fukk up.:deadmanny:

Everyone keeps shytting on him. Actually, boxing reporters are always getting pressed.

Someone explain to me the hype around this guy, really. :mjtf:
In the fight thread, someone said he's hyped as a young power-punching Rican "phenom" but that can't be just it. Was this guy actually a good amateur, anything besides the KO streak that made him stand out?
Because of his last 2 fights, he looked like a pedestrian brawler without serious skills.
Why Rozier, Koroma, Bey, etc. all train this guy? What do they see into him that I don't? It can't be that all of them just train him for the hype.
The promoter aspect I can understand but did they actually think the guy gonna be elite? If they ever thought that do they still after his last 2 fights?

Get you, but that wasn't the question

Like how these big-name trainers are stepping on each other's toes to train someone as limited as him? I don't follow the amateurs much, was this guy a standout even before turning pro, or is it all because of the KO streak? Hard to imagine him being a top amateur based on his style and all but we've seen guys forgetting how to box after they got overconfident of the new-found power.
