The "follow" feature is amazing! It's incredibly helpful. Is it possible to make it be unlimited or at least the limit increased by a lot, say up to 75-100? Thank you.

Not a bad idea. I'll add one. An option to subscribe to unsubscribe to the various forums. :OhYes:

One for the forum.

I probably create 99% of fight threads.

On fight week or a few days closer to the fight, some fights get lost, or multiple threads might get created.

We could always stick the topic at the top for the weekend or until the event is over.

Just an idea.

Main titles in the same line

Post by felinoboxing »

Greetings... What do you think if in the "titles" section add an option with the 4 main titles together (WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO). See the results and programming of only these 4 titles on the same page.

if you click on a fighter's record and then have the enter the captcha, once it's entered succesfully you should be taken right to the fighter's page. it's annoying to be taken to the home page and then have to research for them

How about a stat showing how many times a fighter was given a count in their career?

Provide a star rating for each fighter at the time of the bout instead of 1 combined bout rating...

Also, allow users to give bouts a star rating based on entertainment value

i think that cards for pro judges/refs/etc registered on boxrec who use the boxrec scoring app, not the actual fight judges. otherwise wouldnt all the fights with the 3 judges scores avialable have a 'professional officials' card

4-0 bivol is okay, he should've been up at least 3-1

Oh wow, that's strange.. I thought it was a scorecard that showed how the majority scored each round.

But you're right, I also noticed that not all fights have it...

the schedule page should start with fights on the actual day it is

the format for the date page is weird, it now just shows the event without any of the actual fights, it's much easier if it actually shows the bouts for each one on the same page

Please consider adding a block on the main page where the most significant of the recently added fights will be placed, similar to the "Schedule" block. Something like "Last added fights". Thanks to this, it will be possible to learn about some interesting fights earlier. I apologize in advance if this has already been suggested before me.

Does anybody know how I can get the number of boxers by country?
I have a project for the National Science Foundation and decided to go with Boxing and MMA as my industry.

I tried using a upwork but they were charging $700 which is crazy since this information is for only one powerpoint slide lol

Would BoxRec have this information.

I've found the number of fighters and gyms in the USA and Cuba, everywhere else is pretty difficult.

Hello John,

I just read all nine pages of this chaotic thread. I do not believe the thread is helping the site in its current form because

a) individual ideas are not tracked.
b) there appears to be no-one with authority responding to the individual ideas.
c) irrelevant posts are made.

Compare this to the forum discussing new features for the game Settlers of Catan at the colonist site.

https://colonist.featureupvote.com/?ord ... =#controls

There you have ideas being discussed and individual ideas can be upvoted. If you're unable to recreate such a format, then I think it would be much better to have a dedicated forum for suggestions, where individual threads can be made per idea, and discussed therein. A thread could be even closed, if a person in authority makes a decision.

This is my general post about suggestions in the next post I make some specific suggestions.

cheers

Hi John,

here are some specific suggestions for the site.

1) Seeing the progression of the fighter's rating used to be possible when looking at their record. There was a pre-bout rating and a post-bout rating. This feature should be made available again, preferably by some sort of setting control.

2) The boxing ranks algorithm should be properly documented. The "read here first" link to the ratings algorithm contains probably about 10% of the information about the algorithm.

3) The p4p lists and the weight class lists should contain the rating numbers.

4) Initially, when the p4p list is displayed the weight class is listed. It would be nice if that was an active link to the respective ratings for that weight class. For example, where is says Tyson Fury, five star, heavy, that the "heavy" would be a hyperlink.

cheers

conan
