Is Don Broadhurst done and dusted ?

Ok T, you win!

What makes mine so bad is that I couldn't find the official result anywhere for hours. I watched every 1 of my bets come in, but Don wasn't on tele so I didn't no what happened. Boxrec didn't confirm either way, and some posters on here said he won by a point. It wasn't until half 2 in the morning someone said he lost by a single point or something, and Boxrec updated it. Then my girlfriend turns to me and said, "well at least you got 8 out of 9 right". What a thing to say!!! *****

 

Yeah, I remember those comments from Woodhall.

 

Only a woman could come out with something like that!!

 

I thought it was a poor stoppage I won an won easy every round an put him down but he was ok at the time of the stoppage definitely I believe I would of stopped all my other opponents but that was premature

 

I hope he does okay...:good. If he is staying in Manchester from Monday to Friday he should be living the life and be able to give it a good and proper go in a great camp with a great vibe and team ethos...:good

Half the battle is been in the right place, in the right frame of mind around the right people, I think he might have ticked all three boxes with Arnies Gym...:good

 

Frankie, that's not gonna make T feel any better m8

 

Najah Ali was a former Olympian; hardly a 'novice'...

Dedication is the problem with DB.

 

Nice to see a positive response...:nut

 

remind me who Broadhurst beat for the Commonwealth title?

 

Yeah, pros and amateurs are different but it still builds the foundations and experience in the ring. Why are, in most cases, fighters moved on much quicker if they have extensive amateur experience compared to those that had little to none experience? Just look at Quigg and Frampton as current examples. Quigg had very few amateur fights and is currently 21-0 in the pros. Frampton, having beaten plenty of Quigg's recent opposition, is 9-0. He had an extensive amateur career. Both are close to each other in their progression in the pros.

And the opponents Najah lost to were Bayaar (a controversial loss to the-then British champion) and Michael Walsh (a known banger who he had on the deck himself). Not exactly bad losses are they? He's hard to market to the UK fans so he has had to build his career on taking hard fights. Just because he hasn't got a pretty record doesn't mean he isn't a solid operator.
