Le me explain Boxrec.com

I made this thread because I see that the new guys here think that if it is on boxrec is real (future fights that is). Go to the different boxing websites and look for that kind of information.


They(boxrec.com) have a pretty good site there. good info of the boxers a crappy P4P list.

BUT the information of who is fighting who is never certain. right now for example Quintana said hasn't signd to fight Williams and probably the have as an official fight, I haven't look but I probably be right on it.

Mayorga just called out Cotto and Arum kind of consider him if something happens and Boxrec.com already have them as a signed matchup.

It's a wonderful resource that BoxRec Boxing Records ;D

Seriously. It's numero uno when it comes to results. I consider their matchup info just an intresting rumor until CutMeMick says he's purchased his tickets.

Name a P4P list that isn't a bit off?...Though IMO boxrec just sits and picks names out of a hat:-\....

I swear in December they had Rocky Gannon in the top 20:o:-X

All kidding aside though it is a great source for records in the aspect of fighter's them selves and outcomes but other then that I use them for nothing

:lolhaha: Oh Man.I thought that one was put into mandatory retirment..Lol or he had to go back to the Toughman contest's.

I think they are good at the record breakdowns but miss some of the small stuff.I say ALWAYS cross reference Information and do your own research.Wish they had more Bio's.

yeah you have to love boxrec as a record source it is an amazing site... there future matchs are done on rumours, news reports and prob fighters and promoters emails to them and they just change them if there wrong its not set in stone but i cant really see what is wrong with that format if i'm honest.... but i see what you mean when people see it as fact and post as much ;)

one things for sure the internet for a boxing fan is far better place because of their site :cool:

not so good for the promoters trying to sell mismatches as 50/50 fights though ;D

I enjoy the site. It is sort of a gossip column for boxing in regards to upcoming potential matches etc.

It is also a great one stop database when searching for times and results for past fights.


I use it a lot for digging into certain fighters overall records and results. I find myself quite often thinking of a past fighter, who never won a title, but was always game. I will sit and try to think of their name but it does not come back to me. I then go to boxrec and cross reference names until I find the fighter I am looking for.

I think it is a great resource myself.

I remember when they had Pavlik vs. JT as fight for Cruiserweight titles. :confused:
How about Naseem Hamed #1 Featherweight ALL-Time. :-X
How about Gene Tunney #1 HW all-time. :confused:


Anyway. BoxRec does have some good insight but I would not use it as my sole source. Nothing beats like watching the fight for yourself. ;)

It's a great reference for boxers records! Thats all I really use it for.

well for the mayorga fight, i saw it on a website

it does say its a rumor tho....lol

Ricardo Mayorga - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

but its based on a report.....so iono

Hopefully the new guys got the point.

IF you are looking if a fight is set and signed and P4P list don't look at boxrec.com for everything else is a great site.
