    Never liked the way he arrogantly called fighters "bums" and "cowards" ... and Steve Kim getting his foot in the door over the past year makes sense.

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

    I wondered why Kim (whose become mainstream in his own right) was brought into that joint reporting role, makes obvious sense now.

    Link above is entitled: ESPN.com Removes Criticism of Shannon Briggs from Dan Rafael Chat Transcript

    Dan Rafael wished that Briggs' fight against Vitali Klitschko, in which the Brooklyn native took a vicious, career-ending beating that put Briggs in a German hospital for two weeks., "went 15 rounds," instead of the usual 12.


    one poster replied that remark "wasn't very nice."
    "It wasn't meant to be," Rafael responded.

    He did win a few awards for his craft. Personally I wasn't into his personal favorites, which IMO he made it known, whereas a Max Kellerman tried to pass his personal picks as facts.

    I will give Dan credit for introducing me to Mahyar Monshipour vs. Somsak Sithchatchawal. Just perusing the website and Fat Dan was like...so you don't know these guys, they aren't marquee names, but do yourself a favor get it. The commentating is in French, who cares. The fight is so great every so often you will learn French when they keep saying ooh-la-la. LMAO!

    Well I am paraphrasing because I cant find the that article. But I took a chance, watched it and Yup, if Dan did anything right by me- it was that fight.
    All's lost! Everything's going to shit!
