    Right,not sure if this will steam on or steam its pants. I got a few fighters i always wonder as to what,where and how they are doing and instead of doing seperate threads i thought i would put them here.
    Missing in Action, people you saw down the shops ( FLINT :good) Fighters current status old and new.Would be great to read and learn more on them.

    Seen similar threads on other parts of the forum,classic for example. Just thought why not do a British one :bbb

    Wayne Alexander, where and what is he up to currently ? I talked of him before, cant remember a reply. Same goes for Richard Williams anyone with any news on him ? Was gutted the possible other fights with Arnie and Tak didnt happen,the supposed four way round robin i mean. They were all under Warren at the time im trying to remember,apart from Williams ? Shame it never happened,the mini comp, given how prizefighter does seem to work and im pretty sure back then it would of worked, opinions also please.

    Craig McEwan,forgotten his mates name on here who keeps us up to date on him. Is his fight still on and how is the preperation going ? Any stories on the sparring at wildcard would be great.

    Also one last question ever since i had Sky i have watched sooo many fights with Jim Watt comentating. Nice hardy fighter and a whole lot of respect for him and his analysis but everytime without fail when i listen to him i say to myself and the rest gathered..."bitter *****" ?
    Is it just me thinking this ?

    Please start this off FLINT you know you saw Enzo on Boxing Day :yep

    If this trains a non starter then im serving my time in it, ma make-do coalshed :smoke

    i was a big fan of richard williams as he boxed at clubs i trained in and also he grew up a few miles down the road in stockwell. i met him once at earlsfield abc show really nice humble bloke. i think he quit boxing and the meals on wheels job lol and is now doing work with troubled kids for southwark council i think.

    he's a father of two and if i remember after the eastman fight he said he wanted to be with them more. what a unlucky guy when you think about it looking now how good martinez is doing. he beat shannon taylor and it looked as if he would slowly progress to a world title shot and that one big payday but it never transpired. that light middleweight division domestically had so many fights to have but we only had the few.

    He also had some chest/breathing problem didnt he, before coming back to the ring ? There seemed like tons of fights that could be made at the time.

    Nice post cheers

    Yeah i remember something about that i think if i remember rightly it was a heart scare something to do with his heartbeats. i know gary lockett had the problem with pillows and he needed a plastic wrap over his pillows and it was quite serious.

    You ever go to Jones's gym FLINT ? Never noticed if you mentioned you trained etc in the past. I be well happy if a gym was at the back of my house.

    Cant find any Alexander footage at all :( The Harry Simon fight i would love to see, barely remember it. Was there not a few knockdowns ? He also took it on short notice aye?

    Alexander ripping Townsleys nose of was one of the most sickening shots i seen,nearly took it off.
