I stopped reading it ages ago, about 11 months, the price and regurgatation of material wasn't just. They need new writers.

Back in 2005 it sorely needed a good subeditor/proofreader. Content had potential but the package was sloppy. It's gone downhill from there?

i prefer world of boxing personally. I think i started a thread here or somewere else once about how absurd the rankings are in the fist. They had some really strange rankings. I found it horribly bias as well.

John Hogg contributed with Qld summaries, but gave it away due to numerous spelling errors in edition after edition, which weren't his.

FIST was an extremely popular read in 90's.
I'll never forget the night I run a raffle @ an Adelaide show to raise funds for local ANBF branch.
Local sports shop donated equipment worth 350 bucks as 1st & 2nd prize & Fist 1 year subscription (40 bucks) as 3rd.
The winner of 1st prize told me to shove it up my backside & wanted 3rd prize instead :lol:

Me personally i don't mind the Fist at all.. Its been updated with abit more photos, and bios each month of different fighters don't mind the new photos of the ring card girl of each month either.. isn't bad for the price..
