If poss, could you also try to find out who Mark Thompson is facing on the Moore undercard. Other difference between Gomez and Reid (I presume you mean Robin) is that the latter has retired now. I agree with your sentiments though - Gomez gives his all.
According to FWTV, Mark Thompson will be facing Kell Brook on the Khan v Earl undercard on Dec 8th in a final eliminator for the British Welterweight Title.
Nice one, finally someone can (hopefuly) knock kell back to where he came from. Terrible waste of talent early doors in his career.
Welcome to ESB Rumpole! :welcome Am sure there was no slant intended by 'The Lads' - just don't want you to get the wrong impression of an established poster here given its your first post on the brit forum.
John Duddy will have a very tough test against howard eastman but he will win by tko in either the 8th or 9th.
I'm sure there wasn't, but you have to admit it is a somewhat enigmatic post. Call me thick if you like but I don't get the .."back to where he came from" bit and was seeking clarification. Hoepfully get beaten I can understand, if you're a Thompson supporter, but the post had nothing to do with the outcome of the fight. Am I missing something? True, first post for me on this site though I do read the site at least once a day and this is the weirdest post I have come across. But, as I have said, maybe I am missing something.
For ESB'ers going to Vegas. Half a dozen of our British boxers including John Murray and Lee Meager will be fighting on a Golden Boy Promotions bill at the MGM Grand on Friday 7th December.
Yep, got tickets for that one!! Looking forward to it, the mexicans dont roll over like some of the british journeymen these kids often face.
ha ha - just re-read it, no slant or pun intended. Wherever he came form to arrive in bolton on Dec 8th I hope Mark knocks him back there, thats all. Main gripe with mr brook is the fact he's been such a waste of talent, although admitedly he's looked ten times better in his last match or two. He was mooted as the next big thing and dissapointed time and time again with weight and commitment issues. As it happens I doubt the fight will go ahead anyway.
