Yea, ive noticed that a bit of humour has crept in. With Mark and Declan’s writing.

Because he’s a BbbofC stooge so doesn’t address the real issues of boxing. Plus he often gets things wrong. Like Johnny Prescott’s record. plus he thinks that a 20-8 Dick tiger boxing a 2-0 Terry Downes is a reasonable piece of matchmaking because Tiger had lost to a 7-6 fighter who was actually a very good fighter who was matched hard. He’s a fraud. Grandiosely Calls himself a ‘boxing historian’, a self appointed title.

If Miles talked about the BBBofC corruption like Alejandra Ayala almost getting killed though she’d had a brain anomaly or Liam Cameron getting banned excessively for 4years for a recreational drug his opinion could be respected.

The problem with this and many forums is that posters will lay into various fighters / promoters / writers etc but as soon as they post here they all lick arse.the hypocrisy is hard to digest.

I'm not sure it's hypocritical to reconsider something when they've taken the time to reply or post on here. And I'm never been into rimming.

Miles has posted here for years, and has earned his stripes

It's not like he turned up here in an avalanche of ass kissing after announcing himself as a BN writer

Your nose is put out because you didn't agree about Dick Tiger

good work And I wasn’t specifying a poster. But we had a thread criticising BN then as soon as the writers post, the tone changes completely. Having said that I really hope BN survives

So you don’t see a contradiction being an alleged independent boxing journalist whilst also being a BBBofC director, the regulatory body?

I'm just jesting mate it's a forum you can say what you like. And I get your point. On a human level when I have a bit of a go and someone comes on and responds politely, I tend to be more forgiving. That's not necessarily a good or bad trait I know. I'd be terrible on a jury "acquit them they just said they love their nan!"

And I hope BN survives too, although I'll be too busy with rimjobs to read it much tbh.

Journalistically he does the history bit, so it has nothing to do with boxing as it is.

I think he helps out in the northern area, helps out because the only paid work is in head office.

The northern area does like 3 shows a year, it's charity work.

It's folk like Miles who keep the sport going and has forgotten more than most folk know in the first place.
