    A very talented boxer. Big things expected of him. Went the furthest in the worlds from the england squad at first try. Sound kid. Very quick and throws a lot of shots.

    derrick harmon (lost to Roy Jones) - he worked at the gym I went to in Vegas. This was very very light as I am WAY too small for him. He's a much bigger guy than you would think a light heavy would be. His walking around weight is something like 220. Not even his medium effort I think because I would have been sent to the hospital.

    Ricky Burns - Commonwealth champ and is about to challenge for a world title. Used to spar him quite reguarly as a kid, with him just messing around and letting me work. His speed was still insane though. I used to absolutely love sparring/training with him.

    Where did you fight Mandy, Amy, Ringside? She is fighting in the Canadian Championships right now, and breezing thru so far. She's really good. Should be in the finals but haven't seen the results from today yet. Our team Ontario is kickin' it! Wish I was there to watch. They separated the senior and junior nationals this year. Seniors running in Quebec right now, and we got junior nationals starting on the 23rd in Nova Scotia.
