The forum isn't moderated enough which is a shame, as there's loads of aliases on there at the minute that start a new thread on a particular topic even though there's at least three on the front page.

Is this place overmoderated.... hmm, it depends on what you prefer. I think some posters are a bit quick to shoot down others if they offer a dissenting opinion - for instance I picked Frank Bruno to beat David Haye and was ridiculed, yet the same thread popped up on the classic section of ESB and 90% picked Bruno.... I can't stand Haye anyway so that sat well with me :lol:

BoxingNews24 is just a comedy website, articles are just posted there to get clicks and generate money, a bit like the Chin Checkers on ESB - most of ''those people'' are probably just the site owner generating traffic.

Nice work if you can get it :OhYes:
Leeds?

Hate's David Haye?


You must be Beeston Brawler. Am I right? :-?

He's on Boxing News 24, which is absolute shyte. I can't believe that News Now actually link to it.

It must get the clicks though. I tend to just post 'wanker' under his articles without reading them.

No love for BoxRec News? Your sticky is hanging by a f**king thread, my pal :-)
I link through to articles via the forum. If you read the strands you'll spot the comments from King Geezy directed at Boxrec News articles/writers ya blind git! :TU:

Used to do the same via ESB but they've blocked links for external browsers.
Ha ha, was only joshing :-)

I joined that site in 2006 but only recently started posting abit more regular due to their Prediction Leagues. The amount of crazed Klitschko fans is hardwork and they seem to love debating Joe Calzaghe vs anyone. :DD

This cartoon video was made to show a typical ESB debate on their favourite subject - don't watch if easily offended.
