The bios are still there
(see: http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?hu ... &cat=boxer)
and the boxing encyclopedia also
(see: http://www.boxrec.com/media/index.php/W ... _Klitschko).
What is not there at the moment is the book ikon with a direct link, we're working on that. At the moment you have to use the search function of http://www.boxrec.com/media/index.php/Main_Page.

Managers list is gone. Every other feature will be back plus lots of new ones. This version is leaps and bounds better than the last version of BoxRec.

Dude, I think a lot of your userbase really prefers easy access to information rather than slick web design. If we cared about how a page looked we would go to ESPN.com or MaxBoxing.

Is the concept of the site being under construction foreign to people? Give it a few weeks, this is basically the first time in YEARS the site has gotten a face lift. Jesus Christ, relax everyone.

I have been getting countless amount of E-Mails, phone calls and letters about not having the Managers and Trainers listed. When BoxRec had them listed, another Manager or Promoter would know who to contact if they wanted to make a bout with another boxer.

Just last night at an Amateur Boxing meeting in New Jersey, several of them asked me the same thing, when and if BoxRec would again list them.

I believe managers may be coming back but in a slightly different manor that it was.

And Baby J, version 3 went live exactly one month ago today. Not months and barely just a month.

Like I said earlier, you know it all, go code your own site and see if it would be nearly as popular, informative, and useful as BoxRec. And it must be free.

Fighter bios are back .... sort of. John is working on reattaching the links from the boxer ids to the wiki pages. People are now free to create new bios or relink existing bios via the boxrec records page side.
