BoxRec

I have started my own boxing blog aimed a judging fights past and present. My first post is about the fight i consider the biggest robbery in boxing...Jose Luis Ramirez vs Pernell Whitaker 1.

comments welcome

i have written some small articles in the past for our own "mr boxrec", Anyone remember britishboxing.net???

ps: if anyone on here knows of any other decent blogs please send me a private message as i have already have web links to the boxing sites i use on the blog.

cheers - boxerbob

Yeah we remember it mate, used to submit stuff myself..

I'll take a looksy..

cheers britishboxing.net was an excellent site but boxrec is the best on the web by a mile

Very good idea for a blog! That judging was an absolute embarrassment how Ramirez even came close to winning that fight is beyond me, I had it 117-111 and there were 1 close round that I gave to Ramirez! I honestly can't see more than 3 rounds that JLR could of won!

i did a bit or research on here and saw you scored it 117-11 im sure it was in the boxers of the past section.

i watch alot of fights and can get most on the internet. i also buy career sets from a guy in manchester so i can add the fights from the past aswell.

cheers again

I seem to recall that Harry Gibbs was one of the judges and voted for Whitaker - but not by much.

I like blogs except when they get absolute tossers writing them like Boxing News 24.

bennie have a look at my blog mate

harry gibbs was the only sane one at that fight - well that what i wrote anyway , he scored the fight 117-113 whitaker

Oi! watch it you, I'll have you know that Scott 'the Giff' is up for the Nat Fleischer Award!

I was going to a BOTP thread about this very thing, so interesting to see a blog about it.

Looking forward to your takes on:

Whitaker-Chavez
Lewis-Holyfield
Wharton-Castro Smith
De La Hoya-Mosley
De La Hoya-Trinidad

Your putting Henry and Fidel in good company there mate!

The greatest boxing blog of all time was www.boxingwriter.co.uk of course, in my objective, impartial opinion, but the tool who wrote it is one lazy mofo.

It's a nice blog, Bob, with plenty of evidence to support your claim. I will say that Ramirez was robbed years earlier against Alexis Arguello and these things tend to even themselves out.

Haha yes! Regardless of levels, it did spring to mind as one of the most talked-about decisions in all my time following boxing.
