:o....MOM ??? been meaning to call btw

I Had All The Ring Mag From 1965 Until 2ooo..i Came To Live In Australia And Instead Of Putting Them In Storage.i Left With A Friend..needless To Say They Were All Lost..for Nostalgic Reasons Alone I Was Devastated..every Magazine Held A Memory,,now I Just Get All The Boxing News Off Diff Boxing Sites As Well As Having Emails Sent To Me..i Tried Buying The Ring Here In Australia..but It Was,nt The Same ..also It Costs $25.00 An Issue..i Think The Magazine Itself Will Slowly Die Off As You Can Now Go To The Ring Site And Get Everything You Need..

Stopped buying it years ago, especially after the new issues started hashing out dated news.

I used to buy it but stopped because they would carry previews to fights that had already occurred. I don't like paying a fiver for outdated news, so i just get it all off the internet. Sometimes buy Boxing Monthly and Weekly, but not often

i stoped reading it a while ago now,just get the boxing news on a friday.

Why buy Ring when you can get all you need on this site:confused:

I don't bother with it due to it being at least 6 weeks behind. It's never relevant to what's happening now. Boxing Monthly and sometimes Boxing News for me.

I started buying The Ring recently I have the last 4 issues. They have their place in my bathroom magazine rack. At $9 a pop I do feel a bit gouged on the price, but it's not bad reading. The photography is great and I like to read about the prospects they have in there. This site has much better articles and the news is fresher, but it's the Ring, can't not have it.

As an aside, I find it funny the symbolism of the newest cover. It's a head shot of ODLH and his head doesn't fit on the cover (it's too big).
