And I cant count how many times Ive heard Stephen A Smith bring up William Joppy when talking about boxing. Its like his go to, to sound like "Oh this guy knows the sport". Think he had to cover one of his fights once and now will bring up Trinidad-Joppy or some shit anytime when discussing boxing.
Or some reference to Ali era or Tyson era.
ESPN/FS1 people have a habit of that.
How many times have we heard from Skip Bayless or Stephen A Smith about how Ali's people were afraid that Foreman was gonna hurt him.
Thats why DAZN and others are great for boxing. Its fresh and updated.
You never hear that bullshit on DAZN.
The equivalent would be ESPN, anytime they talk about football, constantly bringing up Dan Marino, John Elway, Joe Montana or Roger Staubach. They never do that, because its pointless. They watch every game every week, they can reference the sport in modern time because they watch it.
Now if you hadnt watch football since 1984, besides a Super Bowl here and there, than when its your time to cover it, youll bullshit about the two teams, and then revert to what you know by going "Its like when Dan Marino went to the super bowl in 1984....".
After about the 4th time they made that reference, you would start thinking to yourself "I dont think these muthafuckas watch the sport"
