    It's gotten worse in literally every aspect. You get significantly less information and you need to click more. It does look prettier though.

    Who the hell thought this was a good idea? That site has gotten f'ing useless.

    It's good, displays the weights now, much tidier and cleaner, easier to find ****... I love it.

    I liked the old one better but this will grow on me I'm sure.

    I like that the weights are back but overall I think I still like the old design. Have to give it time.

    It's not that bad. I probably just have to get used to it.
    What annoys me is that I can't find the fight info anymore. Like when you clicked on the little book icon at the old site.

    You used to be able to see large portions of a fighter's career at a glance, complete with scorecards. This is why the site was great. Significantly less useful now.

    The best improvement is the fact that old-time records of fighters with 200 or 300 fights can be viewed on one page, instead of about 5 separate pages.

    For all the **** boxrec receives, it is arguably the best/most important boxing website online right now.

    If it went away for good tomorrow, people would go batsh*t crazy.

    It has more information about boxing/boxers/officials/promoters all over the world for the last 100+ years than any other site ... and it's free.

    It has become invaluable.

    If it takes two clicks to see what you want instead of one, and you have the nerve to complain, check yourself.

    You should be thanking them for providing the information you clearly didn't have instead of complaining about clicking twice to get it.

    They are doing a truly fantastic job.

    Boxrec should BLOCK YOU.

    I hope they develop that feature next.

    You're a moron. They provide a service/information to fans no one else does for no cost ... and you're whining about the design?

    You are the worst.
