When a boxing website puts in bold print a title that reads, "Charlie Sheen dead" and now today "Evander Holyfield retiring" one MUST consider the source. In this case the source of those two headlines is RingsideReport.com. This is the same boxing website that busted out two headlines in 2010 that will go down as the biggest crock of the year.
The first was the supposed Mike Tyson 2010 comeback story written by the site Editor, and the second was the articled titled "Mayweather Vs. Pacquiao done deal, all that's needed are signatures on finalized contracts" article. As you know, Charlie Sheen is fine and Mike Tyson is a vegetarian and wrapped up in reality TV shows. That pretty much tells you something there. Oh yea, and we are still eagerly waiting to see if Mayweather and Pacquiao will ever fight8CountNews is rapidly becoming the (fix that other site's screw up's) website and we don't mind because we aim to provide you, the boxing fans with accurate and timely news, and not bogus tabloid garbage.
So let's get to today's damage control. As mentioned above, RingsideReport.com titled their story "Holyfield Retiring" so of course when I spoke to Evander today, and read to him what the site's headline was, he was pretty pissed off. Here was his initial response, " I AM NOT RETIRING!" That's clear enough for me, how about you guys?
Secondly, Mr Holyfield wanted to issue the following statement that you will only get here EXCLUSIVELY on 8CountNews.com - "Despite what you may have heard or read I am not retiring. I will be continuing on with my boxing career. My goal is to become the undisputed heavyweight champion."
If you want timely accurate news WITH sources, keep it here on 8CountNews.com. If you want to read about gorillas, Michael Jackson, and American Idol, go ahead an visit that other site. Just don't expect to get any sources that back up their articles, and definitely don't expect most of what you read there to come to fruition.
