Olympic qualification event

They were even after two rounds, not sure how the third was going before the stoppage.

 

Does Baisters forename begin with a W?

 

Mcracken was right

 

Yeah it's Warr3n

 

Cracking result from Maxwell apparently he was really putting it on the Russian before the stoppage according to John Dennen on twitter good to see Callum Smith get through at light heavy as well onwards and upwards! :happy

 

When's Ogogo on?

 

This is really promising from our lads. British boxing seems to be flourishing

 

Our amateur setup is the envy of the world. It really is. Will it breed the next generation of champion? Only time will tell, might take another 10 years before we can look back and say with any certainty about the class of 08-12 and beyond.

Also would like to say Rob McCracken is the dogs bollocks he has done a great job.

 

England and Ireland are the cream of Europe these days . Can see Britain and Ireland cleaning up at the Olympics.

 

Totally agree. I'm not massively clued up on the amateur scene, but every time I check out results and watch the championships, our lads perform well every time. And it's not just one or two of them, it's pretty much all the lads on every weight class. It's refreshing, really is.

McCracken is doing a blinder.

 

is it the same joyce 's from Mnchester ? or Joe's son ?

 

I wonder where the funding comes from for boxing because it seems unusual that when major organisations and government arent too keen on it in general even the ABA's they are getting funding for big training facilities and funding boxers to near enough train full time.

 

Lottery mostly

 

Hes big Joes Grandson, hes also Joe Wards cousin.

 

good to see callum smith won aswell was getting alot of stick of people getting the spot at light-heavy after moving all the way up from 69kg.
