Any news about JT?

I know mate theres some very good domestic fighters there on the way up like Burns

 

Cheers Kiddo.... I was a so-so fighter who probably could have been really good but for my lungs- but thats just life. Thanks matey.

 

If he had Warren he would be Lightweights Robin Reid

Nooooooo plz, E.S.B. memebers, was a wee joke, dont start the " Reid Vs. Thomas " threads

 

Hope you come back soon Jeff.

I mean how many people would go out of their way to post a video of you retrieving a sombrero at boxrec like I did? :yep

 

yeh Burns, McAllister, ***an all good fighters

cant be arsed looking up his record just offf the top of my head

your debut was impressive mate. did you know Tyson had bad lungs aswell

 

Now, check your msgs, i mentioned earlier.


Fire some coal in ma Eubank Express too !!!!!

:happy :happy :happy

 

All the best Jeff give me a shout when you get back if im still here :thumbsup

 

He's back :bbb

 

Murray and Burns were silly gambles but I had to take them because after my two title losses I was going nowhere. I was number 9 in Britian though so that was a pretty good achievement. I wasn't even training when I fought them but I still did pretty ok. I rocked both of them... Though Billy Nelson might disagree- I def caught Ricky with a good shot in the second or third. Very proud of that in light of what Ricks done since. The Mcallister and Hardcastle losses were robberies. By the time I fought Carey and ***an I was training myself, with no sparring- bored out of my mind- flat as a pancake- with asthma. Not a good situation to be in.

I knew I was good on the way up though because I'd always get really good reviews from the horrible guys like Steve Holdsworth and Ricky Hattons old Amateur trainer who told me after one of my am wins that it was one of the best exhibitions of boxing he'd ever seen. I was chuffed to bits.

Holdsworth said I had the potential to be a big star, and for a little while- at least locally I was. How many people can say that? I even signed autographs after a couple of my fights- lol

I wasn't to bad 46 am fights and I took 1 standing count, which I shouldn't have got and 16 pro fights with only one legit knockdown against me- against Murray who was the biggest punching lightweight -prob in Europe at the time. :good

 

Very true mate. I'll def be back. I'll be in touch. :good

 

:rofl good career anyways. always wanted to sign an autograph

You still doing corner work Jeff or was that a one off thing?

I was 3 weight world champion in fight night round 3 but i dont like to brag about it

 

Yes mate, still doing the corner. I'm still learning though. Just finished my CYMCA Instructor course. Got my pro trainers licence and learning off the right people so should hopefully be in a corner very soon.

 

Nice one :good Hope to see you in the corner again soon

 

ahh, at last, someone feels my 'noob with no respect' heartache...

To be honest though, I hope that jeff isnt using my noob analogy as n excuse to leave here for Boxrec, thinking it as a 'home' for internet posters who want to be taken more 'seriously'

Boxrec is full of those bores, guys who want to think people really take them seriously, & as jeff got himself a gig on britishboxing.net, I could see him using noobs on here as an excuse to mix with what he thinks are the ;cream' of boxing posters, only to quickly realise that the place is a ****in bore full of personality free posters who wouldnt last a minute in this beast of a forum, & now hes having second thoughts...

Jeff is a good guy & a funny poster, but I really hope he didnt think he had 'outgrown' ESB & thats why he left for Boxrec, only to find out that the place was as much of a crypt as I always said it was...
Boxrec is a bore, ESB is where the party's at.

Jeff, do yourself a favour & come back to where the funs at. You know it makes sense.
If you decide otherwise though, feel free to sip tea with StuJones & co, & reminice inside your head about the good times you had on ESB, cos you know thats whats gonna happen...
If you decide to stay on Boxrec though, mind & close the door behind you on your way out.

 

Jeez man,I'm bloody fillin up readin this. I hate goodbyes.
Seriously though Ive not been comin on here for long but got easily got addicted.
Tried to explain this to the wife by sayin ''its like getting back in touch with an old girlfriend'' which did'nt go down too well,and now i think about it was a dickhead thing to say but i know what i meant. Anyway most people seem really knowledgable on here but i enjoy your posts because i know your knowledge is genuine and true,not just from a quick net search. You know your stuff and the banter with the disrespectful dickheads is good too.
