In a mad, humble moment I was sat here thinking what a bloody fantastic place boxrec is!!!
Bloody hell the site has people from throughout the world visiting the place - whatever your slant on the sport is - this place caters for it - if you want to get into facts and figures the place has it all here about fighters, fights etc etc - the newly formed articles part of the site - is also fantastic and informative and in my opinion shows no biaise to any particular promoter which I think is quite refereshing.
But the most important thing for me and actually I think its the most popular aspect with regards "Boxrec's British Boxing" is the forum - the moderators actually manage to control mad b*stards like myself in an excellent diplomatic and whats more discreet manner - whilst keeping the most important fundamental aspect of all and thats freedom of speech - within the limits of the law of course - I will state again we have alsorts of chaps who are very opinionated and want a place to air their views - where else is there where we can voice an opinion on British Boxing and EVERYONE has a chance to have their say.
The massive piece of humble pie I simply have to eat is that the moderators on here have succeeded where I failed miserably and thats run, an organised, extremely fair forum where even if you are in the minority which invariably I am - its a place I thoroughly enjoy coming to and getting the soap box out. I would like to add the following groups of people all use this forum - they keep visiting the place and thus I feel they must enjoy and sometimes cringe at the banter on here -
Promoters
Managers
Fighters - Past & Present
BBBofC members
Journalists
Fans
Lads this is not about myself or any of you other than just to simply - come on this thread to thank John Shep, "Smoggy" (McNeilly), and his writers, and dare I say it them moderators who run this place superbly.
I have written this thread as a chance for me, you and everyone who visits here to show your support to those guys who work so hard behind the scenes making this place tick!!!
So - lets leave the banter to oneside just for this thread and thank those people who count!!!
I will start:
Thank you - Shep, Smoggy McNeilly, The writers and the mods!!!
