jus thought you guys would like to know this On Monday i went down to London to train with a pro trainer Ben Doughty at the real fight club (hes Yassine El Maachies trainer). When we met him he had his son with him so couldnt train us on Monday as he didnt anticipate having his son, so he took us round afew gyms to meet the pros. Nobody was at the Real Fight club so he took us to Gleasons UK where we met Darren Sutherland, Tony Salem and Brian Lawrence. As we walked into the gym Sutherland and Salem had jsut finished sparring so we was gutted we missed them sparring. after 2 rounds on the bags they stopped traing asnd spoke to us and were all nice guys ad i got a photo with them that i will post up sometime. We then went to Repton and had a look around and agreed to meet later at Repton for me to get some sparring. We met up later and Ben got me 4 rounds i did 2 with a guy called Elvis who was an awkward southpaw who frustrated me in 2 real even rounds, i then went in with Ward who is the 2nd best Bantam in the world and tis guy was class. It really showed me the level i want to achieve and how far off i am. I thpught i did ok but Ward was playing with me and burst my nose in the second round right at the end to halt my sparring. Ward was taking it easy but hit me with afew meaty shots. The next day we met Ben at the fight lcub again for trainingwhich was good and he gave great advice and tips, we met Spencor Fearon there who is a 100% nice guy not at all cocky. he was real quiet and watched us train and spoe to my dad and offered us ringside seats at his next promotion. we also met uncle who is famous round london but forgot his real name he was once Contehs sparring partner. anyway it was an enjoyable 2 days andi would like to thank everyone who met us and it has really motivated men as i see the level of boxing i need to one day be able to achieve my goals.
yeh he is a great fighter and completly down to earth hope one day he becomes a cghamp then i can say i met him
cheers mate ike i said its giving me motivation and a goal yeh we had a laugh, hes a nice guy but did you know hes already 26 i think its martin ward and yeh he boxes for england hes in boxing news alot, hes got potential like hes only 17
Cool stuff, nice one Gpater. Best of luck with it mate. :good Did you get to see Martin's brother, John Ward? I know everyone raves about Martin, but his brother is really tasty too. Very classy boxer. Last time I saw him box I think he was either 64 or 69kg.
Yeah the Dazzler had eye problems. He was training with the Ingles at the time i remember reading and eye has set him back a few years
didnt see his brother but if he has half the potential of his bro the guys good yeh i knew he was with the ingles but didnt know he had eye problems also hes bigger than you expect and real quick and completly honest
