Turki Alalshikh has related that he wants more even matchups, and the best have to fight the best. He also states he wants the sport to be more like MMA records wise where there are few undefeated fighters, as there is not really a "building up" phase where the MMA fighter gets easier figh...

nice for short term boxing fun. unknown on long term boxing fun. Would love to see him pump some money in at the lower levles. but i guess people dont forgive your human rights violations for a nice english title fight.... Nicely put. :salut: Piling money only at the pointy end of a declining sport...

FYI Linger shocked the shit out of Mayweather signed Josue Vargas last year at MSG on the eve of the Puerto Rican day parade. He was brought in to get slaughtered and kicked the christ out of Vargas- to his credit - remained upright and was ducking and dodging - giving the ref, the highly regarded (...

Is there any way to search by boxer's age ?
I am particularly interested in competing boxers over the age of 50,

Great night of fights

No A side, No B side..

Sounds like those evil capitalistic organizations are going against the communist government.
send them to re-education camp like you guys did 1975,

Sad that there are so few views on this thread. Everyone must be reading fantasy matchups such Canelo vs Sugar Ray Leonard in 1973 with post weigh in clause for 15 rounds at 160.. :lol: Glad there are hopefully fewer of these stories, I have a bunch, but here is one. In the NYC metro area in the lat...

Everyone has a few. For every Floyd Mayweather Jr story, there are 10 of guys who were also amateur phenoms who never made it to the pros. Some lost interest, some had to raise families, some passed away or got injured. It seems to me that most of these young men (and some women I am sure) let the s...

Boxing neck training. My first video.. Please let me know what you think...

Should be a hardcover book to go with a course all refs should take !

You read it correctly, yes, Elkins (where?) West Virginia. VALID BOXING LLC will be hositng 12 professional boxing bouts at the Phil Gainer Center on Friday, November 4th in Elkins. Featured boxers will include NYC area boxers Iman Lee (lightweight, 3-0) as well as John Leonardo (8-1-1), Nigerian bo...

If Chris wants to fight again, he will have to get a battery of tests, brain scans, eeg, ekg, bloodwork, coagulant, a full physical, eye exam, etc.. putting him in with a C level might be the only path to victory for him, provided he can pass the exams. Not sure about him financially, but I am sure ...

apparently boxrec is the official record keeper as per the ABC.....

so "official" bears a certain responsibility

ps- it is not entirely free either..... it costs to list bouts, to list fighters on a card, to list promoters, matchmakers and as a manager....

" In 2005, BoxRec applied to become recognized as the official record keepers for the Association of Boxing Commissions (ABC).[3] The ABC held interviews with both Fight Fax and BoxRec at their 2005 convention. Each applicant made a submission and presentation to the ABC panel which included st...

it's civics 101 time. Boxing commissions exits to prevent just the sort of abuse that boxrec's negligence can cause with regards to injured boxers fighting. Why have rules such as no boxer can fight if they are medically suspended,/ unfit/ within 1 week of a past bout, if you are not held accountabl...

Let's pose a question that is a real possibility. If a fighter was hurt boxing pro for a commission that is duly recognized by that country's Federal Government, and the commission in question has had bouts counted in Boxrec as well as Fight Fax in the past, and currently has FIght Fax counting thei...

You know in some wild third world boxing backwaters like MEXICO... (which have produced numerous world champions) you can turn pro at 15.. so I do not think age is/ should be an issue UNLESS the local boxing commission decalred his bout null or a NC because he faked his age or something..... Yes, yo...

are they amateurs ??

No idea. Ask John Shep I guess. Should be !

Yes, the answer is how ???
The fee is small enough for small claims court.... However, say you are in Mexico, how the heck you going to sue someone who is based in England ?
The mechanism is not there, never mind the language barrier...

I also think they should be compensated, and should make a profit. I totally agree. What I don't agree on is, that once you do pay them, they do not deliver the promised upon service. You , as a promoter pay them to get your bouts listed/ recorded. Then they fail to do so..... So you are paying an o...

:lol: They want payment for each individual bout listed in upcoming bouts, a well as manager, promoter, etc.. Apparently the promoters in Mexico would not pay them to list the bouts upcoming and didn't pay them to put the results in. In all fairness and full disclosure, the Mexican promoters would t...

I have video of a fight in mexico , of a whole card, actually, over seen by the local commission, that wasn't recorded by boxrec, because, according to the promoters, they "didn't pay boxrec"..... When presented with the video, boxrec claimed, the bouts wouldn't be recorded, as "they ...
