taking one ****stani and allowing him to suceed while 500 hundred others are victimized woulden't make it right would it, its done to protect them from legal action, go along to shows, discuss travelers with officials, then come back on here and be honest with your findings.:think:good
theres a small piece on him in boxing news this week. didnt realise he's lost 15. he certainly come on alot since most of them:thumbsup
Some big upsets after the first round, Willie McLoughlin the only man to beat current Euro champ Bacskai last year was beaten . Commonwealth Champ Paddy Gallagher knocked out aswel as Youth Olympic champ Ryan Burnett beaten 4-3 against Michael Conlon .
:good Definetly one to watch from what I've read. Not seen him in the flesh yet but I hear he's pretty handy, although (second hand information granted) I hear that he looks more cut out to a pro game than ams?
Have you watched his ABA final last year? Was the only fighter to stop his opponents looks very relaxed in the ring and will do well in the pro game. Reminds me of Carl Froch but in a good way. He has obviously got power and likes to walk his opponents down Him and Callum Smith are both the same age and weight that rivalry will run and run right into the pros who knows could one day set up a massive local derby between the two. It helps that they dont like each other either
From all the top amateur lads ive talked too theyve all said Fowler is class. The British team is looking good at the minute with a lot of healthy competition and if they all stay fit I can see us having a very good Olympics (especially on home soil)

North east ABAs start tomorrow up at Newbiggin. Can't wait, there should be a few good scraps on the card
Good fight 18th March (I think) Hugh Grey vs Rhys Pagan - 64kg 1993 Youth Scottish final. Both guys are immensly strong and hit solidly. Both have decent boxing skills but like to impose themselves, and Pagan is massive for the weight. Should be a *******.
