For those interested- I start training with Bobby Rimmer tomorrow for my comeback fight in feb/march. I'm absolutely flattered to be working with one of the best trainers in the country and can't wait to get started. Been saying for I long time that I needed a decent trainer- its going to be an awesome experiance training with Gomez, Brian Rose and Jack Arnfield.... I'm sure theres plenty of black eyes coming my way but can't wait. :good
You better win a British title or we'll all be disappointed with you Jeff............. Seriously though Jeff hope it goes well , and as for the British title.....well stranger things have happened .
Fantastic news Jeff - will this involve a move for you as his gym is in Manchester isn't it? At least you'll be in good company training alongside Blackpool's Rose and Arnfield. Really hope all goes well. Keep us posted.
Brodie will eb there too Jeff. I'll pop down before the blackpool show in feb mate, I'll be getting an interview and probably some training footage etc... of Rose and whichever other VIP fighters are trainign on the day. Incidentally, Bobby Rimmer is one of the nicest guys in boxing - a good choice of trainer mate!
To all interested- thanks for your support. Today was simply one of the best days off my life in boxing.... I feel its destiny to train there and there are so many scary coincidences why its freaky.... I loved the place and Bobby is a gr8 guy.
Good luck with the training Jeff. The date has been confirmed as the 16th February 2008 at the Blackpool tower circus which is a great venue. Now you have a definate date this should spur you on !!!!
Sounds brilliant Jeff, good luck. Get a fight in northern England & i'll most certainly come down from Edinburgh to watch it.
Bobby's a great guy isnt he!! Looking forward to the show to be honest, I think im on my holidays then flying back on the morning of the show, straight to blackpool for the show then out after for a few beers and staying over! First show of 2008! What weight you hoping to get down to mate?
I've began my diet so its really a case of seeing how low i can get... Gomez seems to think that Super Feather is still a possibility so who knows. If I can get to Super feather properly with proper training I know i'm a definate top tenner.... and one thing I am is realistic about my capablities. At 9st 4lbs i'm more then an also ran but i'm not sure I can get there. Will be nice meeting up mate.
