100% agree with you Cap on trying to double check info. Not always available but most of the time can usually find multiple sources even if many of them are just the simple 1-2 line brief recaps of multiple fight results. That one local paper, the Home News had a lot of great articles on Ivins fights but I also believe they are very full of poor journalism in them not fact checking. As you said many times may be rushed to meet deadlines.
