    Not much, man. Anything you're especially looking forward to on the boxing horizon?

    Gonzalez-Estrada II
    Klitschko-Fury
    Frampton/Quigg/Galahad (glad Galahad is squeezing his way into this - any match made up of two from these three)
    Kovalev-Stevenson (my ****)
    Takayama-Budler
    Golovkin-Murray (i've got a fool idea Murray might extend him a bit in losing)
    Campbell-Coyle
    Naoya-Anyone
    Fury-Klitschko

    You still writing for ESB or you packed that in?

    Fury to beat Wlad; Vitali to come out of retirement and beat Fury.


    Yeah, I do look in on the front page most weeks and I knew I hadn't seen you there. Just sick of it? I'm kinda phoning it in a bit now tbh.

    That is the second time they linked us. The hope is for an exclusive mention at some point. The print version at least has certainly referenced The Ring in the past. The hope there is that they eventually realize that the Transnational Rankings are the new keepers, that we got a lot more peepers around the world, and a better system to boot.

    :good

    So the mention was unsolicited and unexpected, you guys didn't know ahead of time about the New Yorker's shout until it came out?

    That's cool, then, if there is a paradigm shift in place of recognizing TBRB as the authoritative source of legitimate rankings by the mainstream. This is clearly an indicator of that, even if progress is slow and not yet manifesting as outright mentions by name.

    Remember, the "Bible of Boxing" is like a century old, so it actually isn't too worrisome they used to get name-checked and TBRB isn't yet, considering the links themselves have begun changing over in such a short time since TBRB even began existing. Rome wasn't..
