Straight butt cheeks the new format.

It's a good clean look that ties in with ProBox while maintaining all the familiarity's under the hood. Nice job!

I think the new look is a nice upgrade. Much more organized and clear. I'm not surprised to see all the complaining. It's what the Internet was made for. But well done I dig the new look

I wish these folks well. Goodness know a credible source on boxing news is sorely needed, but I must say that the whole idea is soured in my view by highlighting Pauly Malingnaggi as one of its lead people. Malingnaggi has no credibility among folks who are seriously interesed in boxing. He is more of an overly emotional buffonish clown than a serious analyst. The shame of it is that his biases prevent him from sharing honestly from his vast storage of boxing knowledge. Good luck anyway.

Maybe it's a city thing, but I think he's funny and like his commentary, and he called out that terrible ref (who stopped last night's fight just cuz the guy was wobbled) and the judges who gave Flores a 10 point win over Arellano (who whooped on him for most of the fight).

ESPN commentators often keep quiet about garbage like that nowadays.

Maybe it is an "urban" thing. Malingnaggi knows boxing and has much potential as an analyst, but his bias sometimes gets in the way. I recognize that this has become his "brand" now and is probably lucrative.

I liked the simple headlines of the previous format. Easy to navigate & faster to select what i wanted to read without having to go through this cluttered chaos. Very off putting & not for me.

Not to drag out the point, or excuse anything, but I think most people who enjoy boxing would struggle not to be biased if they became commentators.

And really I dont see how anybody can talk so much as to fill up an entire card with commentary, so I guess it attracts talkative people.

If I were doing it, we'd all just be sitting in silence with a comment every 5 or 10 minutes

I like the quality of the articles better. But the AI censorship is terrible, especially given the almost complete lack of mods. I'd much rather have some mods taking care of the forum than some take it or leave it cosmetic changes, and AI that censors the middle of normal words or names, but lets random people post tons of spam threads.
