The fighters/trainers/journalists on here

if your critical of a pro that posts on here your attention grabbing. if you say something positive your kissing arse. its pretty frustrating.

at least its not as bad as boxrec. the bum licking of pros on there is mental. one of them actually had Paul Smith and DeGale even going into the 9th and said "Smigga would have gone in to stop him"

 

its difficult to judge fights with a lot of crap souring through your veins, though the a.b.a. pay and promote you for that kind of judging.:-verysad:think:good

 

I think most of us find the right balance of being respectful while not going over the top like they do on boxrec. There are obviously those that seem to get a kick out of talking shite though.

 

Which fighter, trainer and journalist posts here?

I've seen Murray's trainer and Buncey pop on here from time to time. Anyone else?

 

Bellew, Gavin, Gallagher, Nelson, Maree and Bunce all post at the moment.

 

Cool.

Gallagher seemed like a nice bloke from the few posts I've seen of his.

 

Thing is - people go to such extremes.

People should just post the same as they would in real life. Being polite is not arse kissing, it's just being polite.

Some of the things said on these boards are bizarre, so much hatred. Boxing is a violent sport but still, it's bizarre. People need to realavate themselves, though for some it may be too late.

These punks make me scratch my head.

Treat everyone with respect - and we will all get along.

Jah sits with the highly and he sits with the lowly

Realavate yourself!

 

Internet is serious business!

 

I agree, I quite enjoy reading the 'pro' posts as it gives me greater insight into the sport I love. Some people try to make a name for themselves on her by slagging off the pros just so they can go bck to their mates and say they had it out with Bellew or Gavin etc.

I've never posted/ read on the boxrec forum so I can't comment on then lot, but I don't think we get too much arse licking. I just see it as fans being respectful more than anything.

 

Come on now, Rob. You came on here and said 'BoxRec' had it like this. Almost everyone over there said Degale did a number on him.

You're right though, some don't want to call it as it really is - and there are polite ways of doing so.

 

The Ivy?

 

This is the most sensible thing I've seen written on a forum in a long time. I hardly fall out with anyone. When I did one time - and it started to get a little out of hand - I explained to the poster that I treated the internet like real life and posters as real people. I mean, we knew each other of sorts and could easily have actually found each other.

He disagreed saying that forums had no connection to 'real life', etc.

 

Some people are just dickheads.

 

Nutjob and his Ricky Burns fascination is particularly pathetic.
