D'Source vs. Professional Legitimate Boxing Writer

Dennis Guillermo, who makes 50 pennies a pop, massaging the egos of Pacquiao fans, on fan contribution site "Examiner.com", has been busy trying to boost his profile, by claiming he's involved in a legitimate dispute with professional boxing journalist (someone who's paid for it) Kevin Iole.

What's the actual story?

Kevin Iole, wrote a pretty fair piece, on Yahoo sports, calling the Pacquiao vs. Mosely bout a pile of garbage. Something most fans agree with wholeheartedly.

Dennis, being a lunatic Pacquiao fan writer, wrote his usual "it aint so" defense of the bout.  You know, black is white. Up is actually down. The Cleveland Browns are about to win the Superbowl.

Fiction. Pacquiao porn.

A fan of D'Source (probably D' Source himself) put a link to this fan article on Kevin's Twitter Account. And Kevin replied to it along the lines of "The guy's not a journalist. He's an amateur. Who cares what fan-boys think of me".

This upset the amateur "D'Source" greatly. How dare you refer to me as an amateur! Well, it didn't really upset him. My sources tell me he that he just wanted to make the most of the publicity Kevin inadvertently gave him.

"D'Source" hit back with an attack article on Kevin Iole. Having only 20 readers, it went unnoticed....................I don't think even Dennis Guillermo's mother knows it actually exists.

Undettered, my source tells me that D'Source then went to his friends at amateur site "8 Count News" in which he is a regular contributor, and asked small town hick Brad Cooney to back him up in this argument, and give it a bit of exposure.

A Brad Cooney article, on the "dispute" soon followed, which was..............errrr ignored as well.

Boxing fans need to understand one thing. It's not hard to design a web site. It's not hard to find people to write. Launching a boxing site, or writing a boxing column, is open to absolutely anyone.

Quality boxing writing, and legitimacy, is not defined by having a column, or a site. It's the content, and respect you earn from it. 

D'Source is a nobody in boxing. Other than a few devoted followers, on his fan site, nobody even knows he exists. What's more, the people who do know he exists, think he's a lightweight.

Kevin Iole is the real deal. A professional boxing writer, who's got to where he is, by writing consistent, impeccably sourced quality.

Don't be fooled by these phony wars. Fan writers calling out professional journalists, trying to get legitimacy, by riding guy's like Iole, and their names. 

I have very deep links in regards to MMA. Along with a friend, I was one of the pioneers of early MMA journalism. I have more sources, and friends in the industry, than probably 99% of professional MMA writers. Let alone guys like Brad Cooney and Dennis Guillermo.

My friend to this day, who I launched with back in 1999, still edits one of MMAs most important professional titles. And is known as "MMA royalty" in  the sports circles. He's personal friends with most of the sports major players, and fighters.

Heck, I know a lot of these guys on first name terms.

Guess what.

I've never heard of Brad Cooney, or Dennis Guillermo until today.

My friends never heard of Brad Cooney, or Dennis Guillermo.

I contacted, via e-mail, a current UFC belt holder, and a future UFC Hall of Famer, yesterday, to try and find out who these guys are, and they've never heard of them either.

The more amateurish the set-up, the bigger the mouth, basically.

You'll find Chihuahuas never stop barking either
