Not a very spoke about fighter around here. Unbeaten in first 16 fights. Based the majority of his career out of the USA. First ever man to defeat Ross Thompson. Stone was 2x IBO 154 Champion and made 3 defences of the title. Never avoided no one and went in there with the likes of Vernon Forrest, Shane Mosely and Sergio Martinez. Thoughts on Stone? Whats he up to now a days?
He was a guest on the On The Ropes radio show a couple months back. He's enjoying retirement, IIRC. :good
Watched Adrian fight Geoff Mccreesh years ago,sound boxer who mixed with the best but never quite made it,also saw him come home to Bristol for his ,I think his last fight at the good old Whitchurch Sports Centre,mecca of Bristol boxing!
looking at that clip makes ya realise how safety first the referee's have gone since then. :roll: stoney was a solid fighter. bottom half of the world top 15 sorta level. :good
