    To be fair to Gilmour, the reason Anderson lost was because he changed his trainers, he went to Shannons and was never the same again, slow sloth like, not the thunderous fast mover of before. So it aint Gilmours fault, Kevs and Shannons more like. Again with Appleby, he must be a good promoter to get the kid into the position in the first place, he just got beaten by a better fighter on the night, a bit more experience cant go amiss, although going with Terry McCormack:huh not sure its a good idea, didnt exactly do Arthurs any good did it? Gilmour is the best we have for sure, up here at least. Who else is there Morrison, come on now:-(

    Ando was another one who was in too many tough fights before he had fully developed and now as a result he seems a bit punchy. Maybe Gilmour knows if he gets a decent fighter its only a matter of time til Warren swoops in and steals them so he bleeds them like a vampire before they get the chance to leave him.

    ps. Appleby getting paid 100k was just a rumour.

    Agree with you Dunky. Sending young fighters down to the lions den against top fighters where even if they do manage to win, they get shafted by the judges. Ricky Burns getting sent down to fight Graham Earl in his 10th fight???? A 10-0 Martin Watson fighting Steve Murray down south?? Getting shafted in Brit title elimator against Lee Meager.
    He couldn't promote a **** up in a brewrey.
