had a piece about about froch v taylor! Did someone their see it on eurosport 2 last night and think I'll write about that! I'm all for boxing in the papers and raising profile but only if relevant. That could have been used for a mitchell piece, or afolabi which in the london edition would have more relevance than an old froch fight!

Worst newspaper.......EVER. Half the news is out of date by a day or two. Dont even have football results which go into extra time most of the time. Dont even start on the Boxing... and they happen to regularly have photos of different people to whom they are actually referring to.... But...its free...

If you look at the top of the page it says something like " the year in Sport " or words to that effect.

Even the Metro aint that out of date

Hahahaha, fucking hell lads, flip the coin. It said 'Highlights of the Year' on the top of the page. It also had a picture and a few inches on Jones/Green, a wicked day for Boxing press! Metro is a great paper Boxing coverage.

There was also something about DeGale saying he expects to be challenging for a British title by next summer at the latest.

Hilarious! Try reading the thing before putting the boot into someone who is actually trying to do a bit for the sport.

Its a free newspaper.

And Froch - Taylor article is in their "vote for memorable sport event" section, on the other page is a piece on RJJ being sparked and DeGales plans for 2010.

What exactly are you complaining about?

Metro covers boxing well I reckon - or at least as well as other it does other sports. Had that Jones had lost and the Degale interview as well as Froch win in highlights of the year.

Will have a look tomorrow and expect to see something on Prizefighter.

Metro is defo the best for Boxing. Sun is biased trash with Hart and the highly irritable and pissed off Fish Eyes ****** Mirror has one good columinst in Mcguinan, apart from that Independent has the odd bit. Like you says, save the 5*30p an buy the Boxing News!
