    It´s literally copy paste Boxrec.

    And IMO, Boxrec is better formatted. You get a lot more information with fewer clicks.

    Im just frustrated that on Boxrec Aaron Pryor vs Alexis Arguello or, more recently William Joppy vs Tito Trinidad arent counted as world title fights anymore, when everyone knows they were.

    (Weaver vs. Dokes, not so much, lol!)

    Yea, thats BS. They should have kept the history, but stopped acknowledging any future fights.

    To make it clear I'm not saying Boxing rec is blameless. They started this whole thing when they decided to ignore Bridgerweight. And they are wrong for trying to weaponize their status as the official record keeper.

    Maybe the WBA paid people to do the data entry for fight fax? Boxing recs database is open. Don't know what they mean by that.

    I'm no fan of the current WBA, but it was very important in earlier times.

    Boxrec ****ed itself in its own arse.
