Where does he get all this new info from? Eric is upfront that it is 'gossipy' but still I scour the net for boxing news but this is mostly new to me. Vic Darch possibly competing in UFC? Morales poss playing Vincente Salvadir in a Howard Winstone biopic? Martin Lindsay from Israel (IBF ratings)? Kali Meehan promoted from no3 to no2 WBA following ......19 months of inactivity!

terrific stuff Eric

Eric is the trainspotter's trainspotter, I'm telling you.

He could - and should - write a book about the boxing boards alone.

I dread to think how much time a week he spends watching shows. He offers little anecdotes from small hall stuff in Uruguay, etc

The man has brilliant subtle yet accurate and appropriate sarcasm.

When I started in the business in 1984 Eric provided info on fighters for a small fee - I've still got his typed notes on fighters, they are priceless.

Adios.

I started reading his stuff in Boxing News in the late 70's. Pure gold.
