It looks like a certain journalist and a certain website have duly received credit for their efforts.
It's a major, national awards ceremony. So well done fellas!

Nice to see the BBN lads getting some credit where it's due. IMO the best boxing journalism website around.
However, Hauser would kick all your asses.

Congralutations Ian, you've earned it pal, put a lot of graft in over these last couple of years, especially considering the bairn and all.

Great stuff fella. Thoroughly deserved and as someone who works in the media I know more than most how difficult it will have been to make that shortlist. It's a phenomenal achievement.

Can I be the 16th poster to congratulate you, well done!
yes I thought maybe they'd meant BBC and got BBN by mistake but the Beeb's already up there
It is a quite comical list as Ian says but as they say if you're good enough you're big enough.

Really appreciate all the sincere congratulations.
Although I'm probably the 33/1 rag in the field, in the unlikely event of a McNeilly win I'll mention all my Boxrec pals in a gushing Paltrowesque speech!
