    i think that is what boxrec will try to do. goading them in then when fight fax go "no we didnt copy anything, it's just all the facts of the fight". then boxrec just revelas one of the judges is a typo and sue them for plagerism.

    this is like the Oxford English Dictionary not writing down 'Money', 'Grubbing' or 'B*stard'. because Penguin Publishers want to add betterer words from the thesaurus.

    So according to them, Ray Mancini and Mike Weaver are not world champions anymore?

    I am unsure and I do mean that earnestly not as a gentle version of I disagree.

    As I understand it Fight Fax won the original bid for the entire ABC as official record keeper on the ground Boxrec has bad records ... which is true. The new WBA stuff is a mess but even before this their record keeping was misleading fans who delved into history.

    TBH if Fight Fax uploads a complete library I'd expect it to be more accurate than Boxrec.

    isn’t this exactly why they’re shutting out the WBA? Fightfax isn’t creating something new, it’s data scraping Boxrec in league with the WBA and Turki so they can have a boxing database they will have more control over

    I totally get boxrec’s grievance, though their actions are the very definition of cutting off your nose to spite your face

    l'd love to see you repeat that if I suddenly appeared before you ROFL It would be Floyd when Antonio Margarito Stood there to politely ask him " Why wont you fight me Floyd"
    Poor Wittle Floydie went hysterical finally soiling his underwear LOL Do you carry clean underwear with you ? You need to. Floyd will never live that down

    I attended a fight that, according to Boxrec, did not take place.

    it was a minor fight, Orlando Maldonado KO1 Juan Bruno for the Puerto Rican jr. Bantamweight title.

    But it happened. And I was there along with grandpa.

    ROFL Youre about as dangerous as old Lou You'd do exactly the same as Floyd did when he saw Tony standing there he literally **** himself in fear the little fraud was terrified. Be careful what you wish for I might be coming to Ca next month & will drop in at Garcia gym to see if Robert does know you & I might just pay you or Lou a visit lol

    Yup, this happens fairly often. Boxrec has some standards they apply and some fights seem to not fit those standards, for whatever reason.
    From what I have heard, Boxrec is as loose with their rules as are the WBA, as ironic as that is.

    Someone on reddit mentioned that Boxrec has not recognized quite a few Saudi cards, so no wonder His Excellency wants to create his own organization.
