Do a lot of the journalists just write what they read here
I often find similar comments on here to in boxing news articles the following day. Perhaps it's just coincidental or is it lazy journalism?

Certain posters have far more info than the journalists. If you know who to listen to, and read between the lines, it's usually out there.Boxing Prospect wrote:I think some probably view the insiders on here as a valuable source.TopGun wrote:I often find similar comments on here to in boxing news articles the following day.

I don't think this is exclusive to boxing, it happens with a lot of sports.

Yes, particularly those journalists who blame George Groves, worship Jhonny Gonzalez & need weekly updates as to Chris Eubank's whereabouts/thoughts on geopolitics/news on how his haddock-farm is coming along.TopGun wrote:I often find similar comments on here to in boxing news articles the following day.

You can't have missed coghaugen? He has a thread every four days on Eubank. I can't believe Chris still gets interviewed that much, & have in fact pondered that in fact coghaugen sits at the bottom of Eubank's driveway & ambushes him when he sees Chris going to get his morning paper.

Glad to hear it .His commentary slips into cliches sometimes but he's a lot of enthusiasm for the sport and that is always welcomeThe Law wrote:Carrot Cruncher still visits the forum but he no longer posts.
