    Good memory mate. I think one of them featured poor old Wayne Downing getting a hiding. Yeah, I should have remembered Welborn and Maxwell being at Walsall. Pal of mine boxed on the show. Must be getting old !

    Downing was on the one my cuz headlined . Downing lost to sean mckervey. Ghent Gordon was the other 10 rounder. Use to love the local shows but to many mismatches and not enough 50 50 fights happening

    Richie Ghent ? Are he and Tommy your cousins Maley ? Come to think of it, your name suggests your did a bit yourself.
    Yeah, agreed, the shows did become less competitive although the last show at Wolves before it closed, Welborn v Tank Aston plus 2 other Midland Title fights was fabulous.

    Action fight, in a small venue, with a packed wildly cheering crowd.

    Football stadiums are dreadful for boxing.

    The Manchester Arena is fantastic but anything larger than this and it is pointless.
