I'll buy into that. BN is far more slick and the design treatment is obviously given significantly more consideration.

Picked up my copy from Smiths and fantastic read as always. It is the only mag out there that for me.

End of Year issue is always a pleasure to read with the "Quotes" being my favourite section.

Seems like a must read to add it to the Boxing News, The Ring and Mersey Gloves subs that I already hold.

Do you do any deals for guys that use direct debit or take out annual subs etc.

Terrific issue this month. Only started buying it again recntly when I heard that they did a feature on John Mugabi.

Anyway great issue still on the crossword, 70% done on that will finish it tonight.

By the way, at first glance I thought the photo of Roy Jones in the calender was Joe Frazier. Anyone agree? Roy looks old in that photo.

Thoroughly enjoyed the January 2011 edition of Boxing Monthly (as usual)
Especially liked how the editor "name checked" this fourm
Good to know that people in the industry read "us" as well.

Yup, when I looked at that picture I thought 'Who the feck's that? He looks a bit like a very old Roy Jones. Shit, it is Roy Jones!'

I have been buying this from day 1 to now, all life issues and stresses take a back seat as I read from cover to cover. It will be with me every month for life. Happy subscriber.

Since the December issue was available on the Ipad, I subscribed, but I'm disappointed to see that the Ipad app hasn't been updated with the latest copy yet.

How many accounts to you have Glyn!?

'Nick Clegg is a sell out wanker'

The January issue is great as always I enjoyed the yearly review, the Mickey Ward interview was 'awesome' "Arturo hit me me with a left hook and I felt my brain shift in my skull" I always wondered what a Gatti hook felt like now I know...
Froch. Rios, Spinks all ace thanks.
I have one complaint though r.e The Calendar images for each month I personally prefer a still taken from a relevant fight that envokes memories like Katsidis' hook that put down Marquez to a picture of a boxer posing with his serious face and the fight images that are there aint great. konecny/hall is prob the best

There are plenty of images through the mag that would have been better eg Froch/Abraham or Floyd with Hitler tache..

A bit of a moan about nothing I know just my opinion

I have to ask, is 'Princess' for real or a character?

I bet Princess loves the calendar !

FR, the calendar was a bit of a departure this year as we wanted to use shots from Chris Bevan, BM's house photographer, every month. We'll do loads of different themes in future, God willing.

cool, thanks.

... but we've sacked him now, any photographer who can make Roy Jones look like Sonny Liston is obviously crap!

I have to admit i like the inclusion of Tony Booth

Legend!

I hear there is a special commemorative Jane and Glyn calendar scheduled to be released in competition with the official royal engagement calender early figures indicate that demand for the former outstrips the demand for the offering from Clarence House
