INTERESTING WEBSITE

Hi all,

Just thought I'd draw your attention to this website I just stumbled across as it works in the the same way as digg in that it aggregates the most popular boxing and MMA stories across the web, thus providing a really useful 'one-stop shop' for us hardcore fans.
The only possible criticism of it is that it seems to have a far greater proportion of MMA content, but given it's a North American site it's probably just reflecting the fact that UFC is so 'hot' there at the moment. It may also be simply the time/date that I've stumbled across it - if I looked at it the morning after a big fight in the States I suspect there'd be far more boxing content higher up the list.
Anyway, enough rambling, here's the link for those who are interested - http://ballhype.com/combat/

I casually browse Digg and often thought it's a shame that boxing has very little chance of hitting the front page. Thanks for the link to Ball Hype. I'll give it a go.

I've just been exploring around it a bit more and it's got stuff like the Margarito vs Cotto fight in full (http://ballhype.com/story/vid_margarito ... ull_fight/). Realise that's probably on YouTube as well, but the advantage of this place is that underneath it it's got all the links to related stories etc.

The more boxing fans that use it, the better it'll get. :TU:

I've added an article (video): http://ballhype.com/video/judah_vs_clot ... iew_video/

Yep, I'm aware of it as I mentioned it on this very site a couple of years ago and tipped off the likes of Rhino, but while that's a good, basic newsfeed, it doesn't have the functionality that this new site has. Horses for courses and all that...
