Any upcoming prospects to watch out for? (2024)

[Dr. Z]

Boxrec was horribly inaccurate when they first started doing pro records. They are horribly inaccurate with amateur records now since they are still just a couple yrs into collecting them.

People gotta quit bringing up boxrec amateur records for this reason. I've seen too many articles & ppl quoting some guy who went to the Olympics & his resume is filled with huge gaps was somehow 8-6. I also hate that they count walkovers as wins & losses. Loma, a guy known for losing only 1 am fight, is 94-2 as an am on boxrec cuz of a walkover L.

That said I think we all realize advertised am records are also inaccurate, but I do believe more often than not the advertised record is far more accurate than boxrec due to how incomplete these boxrec records are in many regions (oddly Cuban olympic level guys have among the most accurate records I've found).

/rant about boxrec amateur records.

It is the best we have... for now.

It is the best we have... for now.

Its the best for knowing specifics of ones record. Its horrible for knowing ones amateur record.

People gotta quit quoting it like its a fair representation of ones amateur record. It makes legit ppl look silly when ppl say Bud was 25-11 instead of 58-12 as an amateur or Monster was 14-5 instead of 75-6.

They are good at tracking widely reported tournaments but horrible at tracking local fights & lesser tournaments. As a guy whos followed MI amateur boxing for decades I see them leaving out Michigan & Detroit Golden Gloves results all the time, but they tend to have all the results for the National Golden Gloves as an easy example of whats left out.

I agree. But they are the best the boxing fan have. This is why I focus on major tournaments only.
