    yes Paul's on the undercard,no site side Paul hasn't even picked up the phone to tell me he was thinking of boxing again disappointing really considering he stayed in my home for many many months and was extremley well looked after,but you live and learn.
    Good luck to him he is a great lad

    When was the last time you rang him up to see how he was in this great friendship you shared.

    Dinna (what the **** is that!) what am i talking pish about mate? enlighten me!
    I have had no contact from Paul after suggesting to him he take a long break after the Simpson fight were he clearly wasnt himself due to weight making issues.
    Paul is a very fine fighter who imo got caught in a situation were he wasnt sure if he was a fighter,boxer or box-fighter but most importantly lost a bit of discipline in the lead up to fighting John.
    I have no doubt though if hes got his desire and dedication back he can win a title again.

    Looking forward to seeing him back in action. Pauls a nice fella and always puts everything on the line when he fights. I remember the night he fought Laryea and I still reckon that guy was one of the most awkward fighters I've seen in a british ring (he reminded me a wee bit of Manuel Medina with his odd style) and Paul couldnt get any footage of him to study before hand

    The youngest ever to win the british featherweight belt is a great achievement and his talent is clear imo, if he can resist getting into a war he is pretty effective. I'd like to see him back at fw as thats where he looked his best imo.

    Paul has had a good break and that could revitalise him and his career, I hope he has used his time away to mature mentally and realise that he needs to be 100% focused on his boxing to ever reach the levels he would want too. He has a good coach in Terry McCormack and I'm sure he'll do ok if he listens to him.

    Big fan of Paul and can't wait to see him back in action, my only worry is that he's taken a lot of punishment at a young age and been in quite a few wars. Although saying that I would love to see a Walsh rematch.

    It was a close fight in which the commentators had him losing, they were very harsh on him I thought though pretty much saying he is done. I had him winning but he needs a big big improvement if he is going to even reach British level again, I aint ready to write him off yet tho.
