    Great piece again Jeff. Really made me look forward to this fight, I quite fancy going (especially now local lad Dean Harrison's got the English title shot against Daws) but its a bit of a way from here and still feeling the pinch from Xmas.

    As for the writing think we are quite similar (as in when I was at school I'd spend most my days staring out the window, had a short attention span etc) but I do enjoy writing some stuff, short stories, screenplays (I'm quite a big film fan and sort of self taught myself to write screenplays), things like that, but like you also it has to be something I'm interested in or that I can relate to. Actually been thinking about doing a bit of writing on boxing also lately, writing some pieces properly as at the moment all I do is post random illiterate shite on here when I'm supposed to be working lol, obviously not to your level but I've been thinking of maybe starting a boxing blog to get a bit of experience and a feel to it. I'm also the same punctuation wise (as people can probably tell) but once I proof read also those problems usually iron themselves out. Just wandered what you thought?

    Also great to have more people from within "the game" (Curtis Woodhouse and Dave Coldwell). Without sounding like an arse licker i'm a fan of both (even though Curtis did play for Birmingham but we can forgive him for that!). Really liked the piece on Dave in Boxing News a while back, came across really well. Sorry though mate i'm an admirer of Murray so will be rooting for him Saturday lol.

    I cant wait for this fight, its really building up to be a great!
    i personally believe this a fight between the two most talented lightweight fighters in the uk currently. theres a hell of a lot to gain/lose from this fight, however i just have a wee suspicion that its gonna be mcallister who leaves with the belt.

    McAllister was brilliant last night, he really impressed me. Every credit and he conducted himself very well after. Good lad.

    Which one mate?

    As for his tactics. He just ran out of steam. But he proved he belongs at that level something that I doubted before hand. Dave Coldwell has improved him massively. On that showing he is good enough to be British champion once Murray and Thaxton move on. I'd pick him over Lawton but agree with Billy Nelson that Limmond is a better fighter. Needs to be active this year.

    the one asking if you could send your list of fights

    i thought he let himself take abit too much punishment up close. He did run out of steam like you said though and that body shot didnt help.
    would love to see lee fight alex arther like he said he wanted too

    I'd like to see McAllister against anyone up there now.... He's got a good chance against anyone. The bluprint to beat him is set in stne though so he and Dave Coldwell will have to work on the mistakes he made to ensure he doesn't do it again. But Murrays a bit special and I wouldn't envisage anyone been able to pressure him quite that intelligently.

    I like Lee's style in the ring and I like Murray's determination and power.

    Mix the two and you have the perfect boxer IMO.
