VIPBoxing.com News - Last Night's results.....

Godding in particualr impressed me. Much better then his debut. Kays was very good too.

 

Why did most of the fighters opponents get changed on this bill?

Am sure it was previously announced on here that Rose, Arnfield, Johnson, Matvienko and Goddins were all due to face different names ....

Any explanation for VIP's Danny Harding coming in 6lb over the agreed limit for his fight with Baz Carey?

 

He's been out the ring for ages, took the fight at late notice because someone dropped out... errrm.. christmas?

carey was also 3lbs over, allegedly

 

Whoever dropped out needs a slap I think.

 

The fight was made at 10st 2lbs Harding was 10st 8lbs and Carey was 10st 3lbs....

 

Wasn't Danny Harding due to face Lee Cook (before he withdrew) on February 1st?

Surely he should have been in shape anyway?

 

I don't blame Baz for not fighting. Why should he give away a chunk of weight when he is on the opponent's show? Baz said to me that he was giving away weight against Nathan Brough at Christmas, a fight in which he was stopped in three. He probably didn’t want the same scenario.

Carl Allen would have probably fought in that situation. Then again, Carl is a physco!

 

Agreed - not least because of all the mischief he has been causing on the forum recently! :smile

 

God what do i need to do to smooth things over ladyfriend? Your harder work then my missus :rofl

 

I'd love to meet Carl personally as opposed to fighting him... whats he like? Seemed dead sound after the fight. He is a very poor boxer stylistically but my god he can clout with his right hook. That was the first count I ever took when he caught me, still think I beat him though- not that it matters too much these days

 

I don't blame Carey either. As you say, why should he give further advantage to his opponent when he is boxing on their promoters bill?

I do feel for Carey. First his rematch with Jeff falls through and then Jeff's stand-in comes in a few pounds over the agreed weight.

At the moment it reflects very poorly on Harding.

 

Carey will have still been paid... stop feeling sorry for him- he is the enemy.

 

Carl is a top bloke, friendly and easy to talk to. Oh, and all the ringcard girls seem to think he should be a model. I've been speaking to him a lot recently - planning on doing a big piece on him when he reaches 100 pro fights (he'll retire after the hundredth) - and he has some brilliant anecdotes from past contests

He is still very, very dangerous with that right - though he doesn't use it as much as he did in his hey-day. Billy Smith, the Gypsy hard man from Worcester who has chin made out of cast-iron, said to me that he has never been as dazed after a fight as he was when they fought for the Midland Area title last year.

Carl drew with touted Martin Gethin last year, though he even admits he didn’t deserve it. I had Allen losing every single round. Anyway, Gethin gave him such a beating that he was temporally blind over the weekend as both eyes had closed over. He was still looking for a fight the next week despite not being able to see.

 

madness - did you ever see him beat Dazzo Williams heard it was televised never saw it though. He drew with me (when I was a prospect), lee meager, Colin Toohey (good fighter) and someone else who I can't think of who ws considered a good un, plus he chinned Carey and dazzo Williams. When I fought him I was outboxing him throughout and because he pulls back with his chin up in the air I was well on top then in the fifth I went for a left to the body and he nailed me and I fell down on my ass off balance I laughed to the ref (micky Vann) and he laughed back but i thought i don't fancy another one of those. So I boxed off the back foot where he did very little and I thought that the ref was going to just raise my arm but he raised both I was a bit cheesed at the time but it was a good experiance in hindsight.
