Does anyone still read the Ring magazine?

Post by Supremo »

What is Their position on Canelo's team's refusal to face GGG? Have they been compromised by the ownership and making excuses for Canelo? Or have they been independent and calling it for what it is?
I stopped reading it a few years back as the standard dropped significantly and it was always months out of date by the time it arrived.

My Dad buys me a subscription to it every year, so I get it in the post. They do say that Canelo should fight GGG in it. I don't think they could get away with being blatant Golden Boy propaganda.

There was a Sunday Times sport article last weekend about Brook Golovkin that almost read like Brook had won; that he had "superior boxing skills" and was fighting neck and neck with Golovkin until a "cut above his eye" caused the fight to be stopped. I was scratching my head unti I realised Murdoch owns the Times, as well as SKY. I don't believe many Times readers know their boxing, so it will go well under the radar but it was an embarrassing bit of journalism.
