Check out the headline of the Barrett-Guinn write-up (click on the "News" section to locate the write-up). This is a classic example of where a headline has been written in advance of the result, and then altered at the last second by someone at the printers who clearly had no imagination whatsoever.

Guinn doesn't win....i just think he's gone out of his way to do a headline that rhymes...a really poor one.

Yes I agree with this interpretation. It is not clear whether it is an alteration of a headline written before the fight.

I would have titled it, “Guinn & Barrett”

Kidding aside, don’t be too harsh on Jay; He covers the side of boxing most writers are afraid of.
