Kenny Florian's body of work

Florian noted that “Everything in fighting begins and ends with the feet.” Where Wylie wrote as follows

Florian – “This means he steps with his lead foot towards his opponent and then slides his rear foot the same distance to retain his base. There’s not much space between the soles of his feet and the canvas as he works to regulate distance and offset his opponent’s alignment.”

Florian – “After circling to his left and ending in southpaw stance for example, he will abruptly step in and strike with a left hand just as his opponent begins to follow”

Florian – “Dillashaw relies on the inherently simplistic jab as the cornerstone of his arsenal more than Cruz”

I just noticed the "BJPenn.com". Haa

It's insane how blatant it is. What a fraud.

Damn. I thought he only stole one paragraph. He might as well just have posted the whole video as his.

Kenny only advised Tolstoy on War and Peace.
Come on, OP

Kenny's body of work is incredible.

I see what you were talking about in the other thread. I did not know he stole this much. I thought it was a few words here and there

That's funny but he was analyzing a different fighter though he lifted that quote, no doubt, but he has to learn from somewhere as we all.

He should have gave credit, I guess.

Sucks to learn that Florian is a plagiarist. Always thought he conducted himself well, as a fighter, analyst, and host. Now he looks terrible.

What's sad is how he's defending himself on Twitter. He won't let go of the fact that he lifted entire passages, and insists it was just a sentence or two. The guy went through high school and Boston college, so he's been taught about the importance of citing work, but chose to ignore it.

If this were real journalism, he would be fired outright. But because it's sports "journalism" he only gets suspended. If writers want to be taken seriously, they need to ban him and blacklist his work. Sorry, but you can't tolerate theft in writing; it's one of the worst things you can do.

Did you not read the second reply? He lifted more than one quote.

It was no mistake

 

[goldennirvana]

Imagine his reaction when he'd been found out. LOL

That quote? There are 6 in the OP. Nearly a word for word copy. Some of it is.

Suppose not. You don't accidentally plagiarise

 

[LostMyBlackBelt]

Willie Pep was cool.

 

[LouisBolanos]

Career suicide. He's done a Fox. What a glorious day.

 

[OverCoronavirus Pressure]

That sinking feeling, in the first few seconds he's calculating how bad it's going to get, thinking about whether more shit will hit the fan, connecting the discovery to potential money losses...
What a mess, an unnecessary mess
