    RIP BoxingScene

    It's only been a few days but the changes are obvious...and not good.

    - Suddenly BoxingScene news stories are 70-80% UK
    - Breadman mailbag is gone
    - Key reporters (Idec, Donovan, etc.) are gone.

    Sadly...with BoxingScene going down the drain, there isn't anywhere left where you can get complete, thorough, NEUTRAL and OBJECTIVE, daily news updates.

    Sad development for the sport.

    Please tell me I'm wrong.

    And if I'm not...where else can we go for reliable, unbiased, regularly updated news?

        A very biased poster wants neutrality, objectivity. Oh boy...

        About UK topics, could it be that there's nothing much going on in the US boxing scene?

            Its a little too soon to start putting a tombstone in the ground lol.

            I imagine like with most changes ppl will hate some & like others. I definitely didn't see this place as perfect before Probox bought it. So it probably won't be perfect now either.

                What's annoying is that they don't let you comment on certain articles

                    While I miss BPP, Breadman, Donovan, etc. the fair thing to do is give it some time.

                    Hopefully the new admins create a forum where posters can submit reasonable suggestions.

                    BustedKnuckles is right- we do need the RBR fight cards stickied.
