    I stand corrected, thank you Sir!

    Tom is a very old mate from school, ive seen him lots as an ama, we spoke about your fight (Olympic trials?) where did i get 1 point from?

    Best of luck Frankie!

    Apparently he is selling loads of tickets, he is a good lad.

    I was gutted when he lost that fight in the Olympics, it was so close.

    Hopefully he can get to a decent level as a pro.

    Stalker comes across as a bit of a whiny **** with his "Im the forgotten man" bollocks.....I think that he'll be Prizefighter fodder at best

    I think a late start can help as well as they don't malnourish themselves in their formative years like a lot of AMs. Furthermore at 20 your body is better prepared at taking the punishment than a body at 15. I don't have any scientific basis for this just a thought. Good luck to him hope he can move along quick with his AM background he won't need to hang around for long and at his age he can't afford to.

    You're mistaken I'm afraid. He won two novice titles, before reaching the ABA finals in 2006 where he lost to Frankie. Then in early 2007 he began boxing for England.

    Trust me ;)

    Stalker sems a really nice likeable guy who you'd want to see do well. He looks Very good technically as you'd expect for someone with his amateur pedigree. My question mark would be whether he has the power to be world class in the pros? Hopefully he looks to make a statement of intent in his first fight by winning with a stoppage and not just settling for an easy points win.
