BoxRec a reliable source?

[Puya]

Since when boxrec .com had become a reliable source of fights that are gonna be made?

How long have you know about boxrec website??? that site has been up a long time ago and most know that website is not a reliable source of fights that not yet signed.

Sometimes they get it right. Sometimes they get it wrong. But for the most part in my experiance with them they are pretty spot on.

The only thing they do is when a rumor of a fight is around the put it up like if it is official, they have always done that. And of what i can see some in NSB think is real.

They put fights up before they are signed, but they usually have a reliable source that tells them about it. They don't just make up fights and put them on the site.

eh, it is basically just a general "indicator". DEFINITELY do not hold your breath on some of the future fights they post before announcement, but sometimes their rumors do prove to be true.

Doesn't mean anything at all until a fight contract is signed and sealed.

As far as fighters records, and basic information, it is pretty accurate. I wouldn't use it as my only source if I was writing a formal research paper, especially if it involved real old school fighters.

I use boxrec generally for just checking out prospects in their records,if it has comments on any fights,stats like height and reach and when their fighting next.When it comes to the big names i dont believe it til i see it on boxingscene or *********

I totally agree, Ive been checking out Boxrec for years now, and for the most part they have been pretty solid, although they have been off a bit in the opast as well......
