bogus records

I thought a fighter can't fight back to back. Skylar Thompson fought on 1-21-2006, 1-26- 2006 and 1-27- 2006, how is that possible ? Isn't that illegal ? Please someone let me know. This guy fights all bumbs that he brings with him from his hometown, It's guys like this that give the sport a bad rep. :x

I don't think it is illegal in the states he is fighting in. Not all states give suspensions for just fighting, and if they do, I believe they only give a day per round. Since he is blowing guys out in one round, he is only getting a day, perhaps.

Then why did Donnie Penelton get a suspension in Missouri for the same thing. And how can these States let a guy 8/0/0 8ko's fight a 0/2/0 guy.

Fight fax is the cause of it all!

I agree with that, but how is fight fax to blame, the commission should'nt have let these fights go on. This is how fighters get hurt.

A fight fax report on every fighter is required prior to each event. The commissions have 48 hours (I believe this is the correct time) to submit the results to Fightfax. If South Carolina did not submit the results to Fightfax immediately, there is no way to know (other than maybe Boxrec) that Skyler Thompson fought the previous day. I don't know South Carolina's waiting periods between matches but Indiana's waiting period is: Boxer has competed in a 10 round (or more), the boxer will not be allowed to box again until 6 days have elapsed. When a boxer has competed in a match less than 10 rounds, the boxer will not be allowed to box again until 3 days have elapsed. South Carolina may not have a waiting period between matches. If they do not, then yes, Skyler Thompson could compete the following day. Look no further than here for an example of a frequent fighter.

As for the "mismatched" records, it's not an issue with Skyler Thompson. At least not yet. He has less than 6 months of pro experience. Boxers are built on this kind of opposition early. Look no further than here for an example of early mismatches.

In the latest ABC promo; President Tim Lueckenhoff said the ABC established a seven day
waiting period before a fighter fights again (even if victorious).

He must have been asleep during BoxRec’s presentation at the July 2004 & 2005 Conventions.
The ABC refuses to acknowledge BoxRec’s present capability to execute all the things they wish
for and dream of. Instead, they prefer to pull their wagons around their dinosaur N.J. golf buddy
and many of them refuse to fully cooperate with us.
