Does anybody know anything about Dudley O'Shaughnessy fought a 3 round FOTY in the ABA final with Glen Foot and won. Classy rangy boxer also a good looking lad (no homo) apparently does quite a bit of modelling could bea very marketable fighter in the future.

Excuse my ignorance here...

But how do you keep tracks of where AM shows are? I can't stand watching the AM stuff on tv but love going to shows but never find out they've been on until I've read the report in Boxing News.

I get a schedule sent out for all the shows and contests in the area, theres also a website called gb boxing which puts them up for our area. They should go up on the abae website but theyve just changed the site and havent put a lot of the info on it yet

Re-jig of the squad i guess in light of recent performances in GB championships. Looks fair enough nobody who won their divisions at the GBs has been dropped and it looks like he doesnt want to throw Joshua in at the deep end yet in the Super Heavies which is fair enough one bad knockout and its back to square one. Cant wait for the worlds this year

Plus its the business end of the season with the schoolboy championships starting this month before the junior and Senior ABAs pick up from march.

The thread can also be used to talk about past boxers/competitions or the world amateur scene. if there is already a thread on this send me the link and ill ask the mods to delete this one.

the amateur association of britain is a racist organisation, delibratly victimizing young traveler/gypsy boxers, by not allowing many to receive just decisions, or using political manouvers to prevent them boxing, they should have public funding stopped untill this disgracefull biasness is stopped.

Your right mate the ABA are a bit of a joke at times but the amateur game is the place where the young lads (and lasses) learn their trade so the pro game (who are also ran by jokes mainly) benefits from it.

There is an ABU that is going against the ABA but i dont know much about them at present. To be fair though theres a few traveller/gypsy boxers from up here who have done well so they cant be victimising them that much
