    Looks as though Mark Heffron is back on form, two stoppages in his last 2, one in the first & another in the second.

    He has power,of that there is no doubt, he's 11-0 (9) and his last was a second round demolition of Raimonds Sniedze - who Markham couldn't get rid off.

    We've all heard the hype about Heffron giving Khan a going over back in the day . We have heard Freddie Roach saying he's an unbelievable talent and Joe Gallagher said he's one of the best talents he's ever worked with.

    So..... obviously a massive cloud hanging over Heffron is his criminal record etc, but provided he can eventually get a BBBofC license. How far do people think he can go in todays SMW division..

    Mark is coming to Scotland next week for a fortnight to spar David Brophy, this will be excellent work for both lads

    As I said, WHEN Luke was with maree,not Alex. Which was way before he won the commonwealth title! I never mentioned anything about them sparring now did I.

    Beginning to understand the amount of stick you get on here, considering every time I talk to you ya have some form of attitude.

    No mate in a unit up the road from where they work meant to be tidy, just ticking over in between training with Kevin I think

    Unless he has perfected the power of self-combustion, no.

    ah right. the set up Maree has down in Gisburn is quite impressive to say there is only a handful of pro's - credit where it's due.

    He must be fairly connected must Kev too, considering Blackledge had sparred a whose who of quality pro's early in his career.

    to be fair, find me a fighter with 11 fights where he isn't in with journeymen at this stage,

    aside from the likes of Loma'

    that's the way it goes... as for talent as I said - when Roach & Gallagher are praising you, then you must have something.

    Ok fair one, well hope the sparring goes well.sure it will be beneficial to both fighters - who both seem to have a lot of potential.

    Hears to hoping Brophy comes through his eliminator and the blackledge fight gets made...has all the ingredients for a *******
