    It's not the first time they've jumped the gun. Let's hope they're right on this one!

    Boxrec is known for 'announcing' fights before they are signed, they'd rather be first than be accurate.

    Thanks, I am aware of that. It's just that ''strikes again'' is ridiculating boxrec a but while they are not THAT wrong. It's not like they made something up or something.

    But on the other hand u are right, they prefer to be first rather than accurate;)

    boxrec is pretty accurate with its announcements. Props to them.

    Heck, for all of the work they do and the content of their site it is amazing they can do all of that and keep it free. Props to boxrec times 2.
