I have always been a huge boxing fan. Ever since I first saw the movie Rocky, I have been a die-hard boxing fanatic. Although the sport of boxing has suffered a lot over the last few years due to the proliferation of sanctioning bodies and unscrupulous characters who are more interested in making money than making quality fights, boxing is still the only sport that I routinely follow. Although I rarely pay to watch a fight anymore – pay-per-view fight telecasts have become ridiculously expensive – I keep up with the sport of boxing by reading various boxing magazines and visiting various Internet boxing sites to keep myself up-to-date on the latest boxing news. One of my favorite boxing sites that I routinely visit is a site called eastsideboxing.com.
Eastsideboxing.com is a great site for any boxing aficionado. The site is entirely free and simply requires a prospective member to fill out a user profile and create a user name. After registering and creating your profile, you are free to create new topics for discussion, join other members in a boxing-related chat room, and enjoy all of the other benefits associated with the site. Eastsideboxing.com is jam-packed with all things boxing, from boxing schedules and fight results to interviews with various fighters and fight personalities. The latest, most up-to-date boxing news and stories from around the world are continually posted and updated on the site, and there is even coverage and reporting on the popular sport of MMA(Mixed Martial Arts) as well.
What adds to the appeal of eastsideboxing.com is the ability for all registered users to interact with other members in the site’s various boxing forums. My favorite forum on eastsideboxing is the classic match-ups forum, which is a section of the site that is dedicated to the hypothetical match-ups between fighters from different eras. After signing up for free to become a registered user, a user simply creates a new topic or thread in which they want to debate with other members a mythical match-up involving various fighters. Could Mike Tyson have beaten Joe Louis? Would Sugar Ray Leonard stand a chance against Sugar Ray Robinson? How would Rocky Marciano have done against the giant heavyweights of today? These are the types of scenarios put forth for discussion and debate in the classic match-ups section of eastsideboxing.com. In addition, you have the ability to scroll through an archive of past topics and discussions that might be of interest to you.
After perusing various Internet boxing sites, I have to rank eastsideboxing.com as being at or near the top. The tremendous amount of boxing coverage and news that is continually posted on the site, plus the ability to take part in various discussion forums and chats, makes eastsideboxing.com the perfect boxing-related website.
