++++ The Fighting Scots Gym Express ++++

This deserves a thread of its own in my opinion, biased or not.

Its Scotlands most active pro gym regarding success ( show me another ) and has a lot to look forward to in 2010.

Simpson = done a ton of hard yards and a really nice guy though he never smiled when meeting/chatting and yada yada, though if any fighter in the UK deserves a world title shot, garnered or not, its him.

Burns = similar to Simpson regarding hard yards and fighting many up and comers previously, he has now got himself a world title shot.

I do hope the inactivity wont be a focal point regarding the world title shot and i dont expect so.......he has good experience.

Hughes = up and coming and training with said previous fighters can only be a good thing and personally, when seeing him previously i thought he was ok but since then and his last win i have looked a bit more and he has an awkwardness about him that i like.

Limond = well where do we begin ? He has MASSIVE experience, fought some of the best, nation-wide AND worldwide and we all knew what happened then eh ?

I am gutted to see him NOT getting fights and breaks and it is strange.

Billy Nelson = Top experience, now and previously and has developed and built a very topping bunch of fighters and always a nice bloke when i have met him.

So, currently, i cant think of any other gym in the UK that has some champs ( yes i know its commonwealth belts yada yada ) and a bit of history ( given its a newish set-up ) though im sure some people will prove me wrong, fair enough.

Anyways, am chuffed to bits and cant wait for 2010 regarding Scottish boxing.

Am just a passenger on this train but as the Brit Forum has shown, said gym/fighters/trainer get a lot of respect which is deserving, so this express is getting made.

Grease those lines, this train will NOT be de-railed !!!!!!!

Fighters, posters, randoms ( me ? ) get yer tickets here

CHOOO !!! CHOOO !!!

 

Top stable no doubt, one of the best in Britain. All quality boxers and, of the guys I've met from that gym (including Billy), all very sincere and pleasant gentlemen. :good

Ticket stamped sir :good


This guard needs sleep, working the back-shift

 

glad to see the gym doing really well billy nelson has really got the best out of ricky burns and john simpson gets better with every fight

 

You've gotta respect John Simpson. All the tough fights he's had, all the title fights. 27 fights and his domestic opposition is unbelievable, and after a lot of tough nights he's still seemingly improving fight to fight. Not the fanciest fighter in the world but the pure heart, grit and strength is more than a match for most at this level. Him and Lindsay would be a terrific clash of styles.

 

I'll join. I owe Billy from years ago. :good

Nearly 14 in fact.

 

Is there a carriage on this train for some English fans of this stable...? Preferably near the buffet carriage, but not to near the bogs...:yep

Return ticket please...:good

 

Exactly, canna wait :good

Your gonna be owing me in 14 years, you realise the cost of a train ticket from Oz ? :yep

The first Englishman on board and surprise surprise he has requests and requirements :roll:




Tickets stamped gentlemen :thumbsup


CHOO !!! CHOO !!!

 

on this xpress you will need someone to sell refreshments?a trolly dolly!can i be that person!

 

Being a typical highlander I'd want to know how much for a ticket? :nut

I'm on board, you've got to love Simpson... inspiration any fighter. 6 losses but he's re-built his career with Nelson :good

 

You'll need to get Billy Nelson off the Stevie Bell Express as he couldn't resist popping on there however I approve of this thread :good

Nice little gym thats doing well now and deservedly so.
