The Robert Stieglitz victory - A poor succesor to Eubank/Collins/Calzaghe

Yeah it was mate, sorry about those ramblings, I'm totally ****ing embarrassed.

Both posts have hit the nail on the head, but the lad has STILL only lost to Geale (in Oz & on short notice), Pirog & Macklin, who are no pushovers by any means. He was by no means embarrassed either, apart from possibly Geale, although that was a paycheck & a chance to fight for a 'World Title' so was impossible to turn down.

Love the lad though, haven't saw him for a couple of months actually, had some ****ing crazy nights with him (probably part of the problem!). I remember a few years back I accidentally stole his bird in a party back at my flat just through not being able to see straight, he walked in on us, and rather than remove my jaw, went in my spare room, put every weight I had on the bar (about 110k I think) and started benching to relieve his frustrations. What a guy

I have to stop blowing his trumpet on here though when I'm wrecked, but it is a big shame, the talent the lad's got.

 

Haha just a little (and the rest) for a change, and when I said 'his bird' I don't mean his girlfriend, it was just a random party back at mine with a load of random birds.

To be fair she was the pick of the bunch by a mile, and he'd been doing groundwork for **** knows how long, I was just grabbing out for things left right & centre and ended up grabbing on to her in the kitchen, and that was that. I don't think he went short eventually like.

 

No idea mate, he chopped & changed quite a bit & got **** in the press for it, got slated pretty badly in the Liverpool Echo after the Macklin fight too which surprised me slightly. Not sure how he's feeling at the moment, last time I spoke to him he wasn't training & wasn't clear about his future. Like I said (or attempted to say) though in my drunken ramble, I think things have gone on behind the scenes that I don't know about that may have hampered his progress.

And as for that last bit, I've said it umpteen times mate! There's obviously more to it. There always is when you're trying to come up in Liverpool the hard way, too many shady characters.
