    Just got my copy through the mail today and it is packed with top quality features and columns.

    Features: Victor Ortiz, Ryan Rhodes, Carl Froch, Steve Wood, Kathy Duva, Maurice Hope, Lee Purdy etc

    Tribute to Sir Henry Cooper, 8 page Haye-Klitschko special. Add to that the editor column, Steve Farhood, Graham Houston, Bunce etc

    I would say I consistently read most of the content from Boxing Monthly, apart from the classifieds basically. In contrast, when I used to buy Boxing News I would say I read about half of it and sometimes less.

    As I say, excellent as usual:good

    Yeah I love BM think its absolutely quality,I just wish it had 20+ more pages because its so good lol.

    Im a bit tight on cash this month and was going to buy the Boxing News Haye/Klitschko Special but I think I will just stick to my usual BM.

    Last year bought the Ring for a few months after hearing so much about it but thought it was absolutely crap,a very boring mag IMO.Will get the newest BM tomorrow if its out near me.

    Boxing Monthly is always great. Sometimes still buy Boxing News though for train journeys.

    The interview with Steve Wood is interesting.

    For non-televised shows he doesn't take any money off his fighters..... and there was also a dig at Joe Gallagher, makes him out to be a right ****.

    The Ring is awful at the moment and, like you, I only buy it out of habit and to maintain my collection...

    Since the Boxing News re-hash, sorry re-branding/new look, Boxing Monthly has become the best on the market.

    It seems that way.... whenever he's interviewed he comes across alright, must be a bit going on behind the scenes.

    He's taken fighters away from Steve Wood and now the Hatton's... all of them have ended up with Allegedly.

    Maybe he's close to cutting a deal to become a ''house'' trainer in the way that Farnell currently is?

    Interesting that you never hear a bad word said about Steve Wood from anybody.... his only fault to me is his matchmaking, which is weak.

    Their rankings aren't great I agree, but I've seen worse.
