Actually, most of them were. Just not the important ones.

Definitely not always right, but my guess is I’m right more than the guy who was so upset with the piece, Robert.

Unlike you, Farrell was actually deeply involved in the business and helped fixed fights. He’s not always right but he knows how the machine operates.

I have never read an article so bleak, cynical and in love with something. This was fantastic.

No, I think he’s saying that Johua will dispatch of Wilder easily because he’s a vastly superior fighter.

Seems a tad contrived. Mr. Farrell obviously loathes Wilder who is admittedly not a “great” heavyweight. But a 39-0 pro record and an Olympic medal does not just happen if Deontay can’t fight.

I don’t know shit about boxing but I pretty much always read these pieces because I love the writing. I tend to quote them when I’m talking about boxing, to people to sound smart. Appreciate the work.

Thanks for another great piece, Mr. Farrell. I really enjoy the reading and though sometimes I disagree with some passages, your knowledge of the inner-workings of the sport is much appreciated.

It’s not a band-aid, that’s the whole thing:

It’s basically just like with abortion: Nobody likes abortions, they are not fun to go through, but they are a necessary evil. So we better provide them in the best possible way, as an abortion is never a nice thing to go through, but making them illegal won’t make them go…

You seem so badass dude.  Tell me more about your how scared you are that you need to own a bunch of guns.

Those Avenger and Batman types are sometimes pretty nonchalant or even glib about their death-dealing (and city demolishing), even if they don’t outright fetishize violence.

I mean, I have no doubt that this movie is extremely stupid, but I doubt that there is less carnage then critically acclaimed, popcorn entertainment like Avengers. The only difference is that the guns are slightly fictionalized.

You know I don’t usually go for Punisher (I think he’s morally abhorrent and works best when he’s portrayed as a villain), but I think putting him up against other black ops military types made the whole thing a lot more easy to digest than if he was running around and killing random thugs on the street.
