BoxRec

when did that happen?

Today sometime, wasn't like that when I came on this morning.

I do hope this means that any decent discussion involving non British and Irish fighters will not be moved to current scene.

I sent complaints and complaints
Na It sounds good got a nice ring to it

Excellent move!!!

Yeah, it's much better. We use it as such anyway.

Very random statement. What is pathetic?

Given the state of the CS forum, I suspect Brit posters would prefer to discuss US fights on here.

From a purely personal viewpoint. I must admit to shaking my head occasionally at the number of non British topics open for discussion in the premiere British boxing forum.
I'm maybe just too much of a purist but there are times when I want to reply with a simple NOT BRITISH !!!!
Discounting the 7 stickies on the 50 topic opening page, at the time of writing only 29 topics relate to British (and now Irish boxing too), these include all the usual what if's, betting and prediction league etc.
Only around a dozen relate to currently active British boxers.
There that's my Victor Meldrew moment over, now let me have a moment to decide who would win if ......

So therefore is it a forum for british and irish posters ? Rather than a forum about british and irish boxing
Whats wrong over on cs ? dont usually go there

Exactly. I just tend to prefer the discussion you get in this forum, rather than Current Scene. But, sure, whatever the rules I'll follow.

i also sent a few emails to boxrec about the matter. Glad its a British and Irish boxing forum now, its only fair!!

I wouldn't mind it being an European forum

Some good boxers on the continent...plus they own the Heavyweight scene.

Yes, I know what you mean.


It seems that some people treat this as a forum for British PEOPLE to talk about worldwide boxing!

IE "This is the forum for us , we'll talk about what we like.."

I am sit firmly in this camp. I come here to talk, in the main, about british boxing but I dont think every thread relating to the world scene should be immediately re-directed to the current scene 'waste land'. I never read nor post on the current scene - it just isnt for me. I like to discuss boxing within the forum I have used for the last 6 years or so. I have no interest in the views of pubescent america trolls.

Hey, you gotta love Ireland! Here's me trying to look cool off the West coast of Galway a few years back. Check out the big Bud, dished out gratis on the boat.
