Little Boxrec Gripe

I love Boxrec & check it most days.

But how can they have Tony Bellew vs Isaac Chilemba a 5 star fight while Danny Geale vs Darren Barker is a 4 star? Surely it should be the other way around.

That does seem wrong seeing as Barker vs Geale is a world title fight aswell, maybe it will get changed to a 5 star fight when it gets nearer to the date

yeah boxrec is great I check every day too, that being said, another problem is the rating system. Wlad had, I don't know 1300 points, then he won a fight and Vitali still hadn't done anything and all of a sudden Vitali gets bumped up to 1200 or something points and Wlad gets redused to 1100.. Whats that all about? I wanted to make a thread about it but never got around to it.

I know that doesn't make much sense!
That fight is easy work for Chilemba, lets hope he starts out with a good pace and makes that droopy looking twat look bad once again.

I think their system is purely statistical so it does take out any human subjectivity whereas the alphabet bodies take a more subjective approach.

Ideally, your rankings of fighters and fights would be based on a statistical system but include some 'common sense' factor.
