    Relevant starpower is another conversation, but let's craft the show:

    Boxing supercard to pattern UFC 205 (ESPN isn't much better, but they're better than Golden Boy Magazine):
    -Alvarez vs Thurman @154lbs
    -DeGale vs Jack @168lbs
    -Cecila Braekus vs Mia St. John @145lbs
    -Cleverly vs Braehmer @175lbs
    -Groves vs Abraham @168lbs
    -Amanda Serrano vs Heather Hardy 122lbs

    A definite good night of fights for boxing fans (though having the main event of the show being a bout where outright size is now an issue may put a damper on things), but not a super duper night of fights, tbf.
    Yeah I guess that ones not as great. I've just kind of always used Ring as the standard for some reason. And holy crap Mia St. John is still fighting. Just jumped on her instagram and wow. She's still looking great.

      Ring Magazine, as far as I see it, hasn't been a legit source for anything current in the last 2-3 years (can't pinpoint the date, but the Schaefer split from Golden Boy was when it became utterly obvious that shilling had taken over.

      Use Ring Magazine for their historical rankings (anything before 2012 can be generally understood as being editorially fair, imo) and not much else, imo.

        Boxing is dead...... In America.

        Russian and British cards are usually very entertaining, so worldwide boxing isn't very good right now, but it's not dying either.

          king used to have stacked cards all the time but he's fallen into obscurity and is finished. I would get rid of al gaymon and put king in charge of pbc we would get the fights we want. LOL just have someone making sure king is not robbing the fighters blind.
