Boxrec thought police

I see Warren's thoght police infiltrated the site and had someone remove the thread that I started. The one called "Warren wanted Andrade to win." Something that was written on the HBO website, by respected writer Nat Gottlieb.

Or was it that no one's supposed to know that Andrade wouldn't be approved for JC?

"Kessler - fornicate Yeah"

"What you gonna do when he comes for you now?"

"Carl Froch - fornicate Yeah"

"When you gonna drop the W-B-O boy?"

Just looking for that thread. Warren in reality is not going to sue a website and get a ton of bad publicity. However making direct statements about him or SN that unsubstantiated could be libel. So just phrase things differently people

Shouldn't really have a go at Boxrec. FW must have someone full time on his payroll (Boxingchat anyone?) who is just paid to monitor websites 24/7 and knock on his door with a printout of anything considered remotely critical.

It's laughable it really is, the bloke should get a life....

Libellous because Warren wanted Andrade to win? Check out Gottlieb's report on HBO.com.

Also, I wish I remember where I read that Enzo Calzaghe dismissed Andrade from a shortlist of possible Calzaghe foes.

Or perhaps it was to do with my question as to how many fights it was between Mitchell and Lacy that were passed up by Showtime? Remember, Showtime decided against giving out contracts thanks to certain promoters taking the cake - it was a common complaint for US fight fans, Showtime's poor programming. Hence the "great fights" only policy.

Hey, will ITV ever get all upset and come up with a "great fights" / "no exclusives" policy? Hmmmm...
