Again, given the discont9inuation of the megathread and with boxing's move into the MMA section, thought it would be handy to have a boxing fight discussion thread to sit alongside the general news thread. This can be the place to post about the weekends upcoming fights (this will usually be me) and discuss the outcomes after they happen. It also keeps immediate spoilers out of the general news thread too which is nice if you fall a few days behind. Granted when the big fight nights and PPV's come up, shows can get their own thread but this should be good for the smaller weekly fight nights. and considering domestic boxing returns this Friday, no better time to start!... This Friday, Live on BT Sports 1: Two solid, competitive fights on top makes a nice change from some of the mis-matched shows Top Rank has fed everyone this summer. little preview here: https://www.frankwarren.com/ready-for-our-big-return Speaking of Top Rank, this is tomorrow (only available in the UK through Fite i believe): Carlos Takam steps in to replace Jarrell Miller. Given how good the UFC shows have been during all this ive not really felt the need to watch the Top Rank shows. Like i said, they've been heavily panned due to the poor matchmaking but i likes me some Carlos Takam so im breaking my Top Rank duck with this one. so yeah, live boxing 🤗

Moving the boxing into this section of the forum then. The old thread in the off topic forum is closed to keep all boxing news and general discussion to this thread and feel free to start new threads for upcoming fights you feel are worthy of their own topic/thread 👍🏻

Got the idea to this after visiting the Sherdog boards the other day. I know the Sherdog boards are a breeding ground for cretins but it is a place where you find out loads of little tidbits of news that usually bypasses the standard MMA news sites or if it's posted passes with little fan-fair. I didn't wanna clog up the news thread with stuff so i thought i'd create a different thread to post minor news/fight announcements that i come across that some of you may find interesting, im a sucker for useless infomation so this kind of stuff interests me, so here we go...

been looking for the old documentary thread but i can't find it so i thought i'd fire up a new one. I'm constantly trying to get hold of new ones so get your recommendations in... today i saw the documentary that's featured in The Fighter, it's called High on Crack Street, it's a HBO doc. that followed around 3 people in Lowell, all crack addicts (one being Dickie Eklund who Christian Bale played in the movie). It's pretty short but it's one of the most personal docs. ive seen about serious drug addicts, horrible to watch, these peope are deep shit and it's just a constant downward spiral. Eye opening stuff.

Lets discuss heavy metal stuff gets mentioned in the 'albums listened too' thread, but i think we should have a place dedicated to the metal.
