MICHAEL GOMEZ - Lost last night in his bid to win back his old British S-F weight title with a controversial 6th round stoppage to Carl Johannson . Mike pushed the fight from the beginning to Carl and was having great early success , however as the fight went on the boxing skills of Johannson was turning the fight his way, particular at the end of each round. Mike has only had 6 rounds of competive boxing in the last 20 months and this was shown as he just tried to dig out the win and not use any of his old boxing skills and head movement. It was a good effort , but the chance to take the opportunity did not pay off and we are all sure that with a few more contests behind him in this comeback then Gomez would have won. Mike is now hoping for Carl to win against Mitchell and then he can have the rematch which was promised by Carl and Maloney after the fight when they had a very civil and respectful chat. GARY SYKES - Moved to 6-0 with a 4th round stoppage of Dwayne Hill in another very entertaining fight . Gary started off superb sticking the jab in Hills face , picking wicked body shots and moving like the prospect he is. However, his inexperience as a pro and liking for a scrap drew him down a level and the fight became a punch up treat for the fans with Gary decking Dwayne and taking a few himself before the stoppage - he will learn from this one. THOMAZ MAZURKIEWIKZ - Takes on Andrew Ferrans in Scotland in a Welterweight contest on the 2nd November 2007 DANNY HARDING Makes his comeback from a successful nose operation on the 25th November show in Colne . STUART McFADGEN - Tops the show in his own town of Colne and expects to shift all the tickets himself !, they will be available from next week
The Gomez stoppage controversial? I take it you mean him wanting to continue when he was utterly spent? The fact that he wants a rematch tells us that he doesn't know when to quit.
