How important is Boxrec.com?
Ask people in the boxing industry:
* Bruce Trampler (Top Rank matchmaker): Short of actually being at a fight, they’re the best source of information out there. I have my own computerized records, and I’m on Boxrec at least a dozen times a day. We take it for granted, but everyone in boxing would miss it if it was gone.
* Cameron Dunkin (honored by the Boxing Writers Association of America as the 2007 “manager of the year”): It’s an incredible tool for everyone in boxing. I use it all the time. We all do. You have to use it.
* Carl Moretti (former matchmaker for Main Events and current DiBella Entertainment vice president for boxing operations): I use it every day, many times a day, for every reason imaginable. It’s the quickest cheapest easiest way to find out what I need to know.
* Ron Scott Stevens (chairman of the New York State Athletic Commission): Fight Fax is the mandated record-keeper for athletic commissions in the United States. But Boxrec does more than supplement Fight Fax. In many respects, it surpasses Fight Fax.
* Mike Silver (boxing historian): Boxrec.com is a dream come true. It’s one of the greatest gifts to boxing fans and boxing historians in the history of the world. Years ago, you needed a whole shelf of Ring record books to track the records of fighters. Now anyone can do it in seconds for free. Every time I write about boxing, I want to thank them.
* Lou DiBella (promoter): Anyone in boxing who says he doesn’t use Boxrec is either a complete imbecile or lying.
