    Those fights were incredible.... Robbie was a wicked little fighter but I've heard he is now a vagrant- no joke. Hope i'm wrong. Ampofo was a gutsy little banger. Thanks for bringing back some great memories. :good

    After he retired, he worked the doors for a bit in Blackwood. Obviously being quite well known in the area, he saw a bit of action and was constantly in scraps. I think he got into drugs a bit and ended up going to jail for attacking somebody in their own home.

    So sad... when he beat Ferrid Ben jeddou and Danial Jiminez he was undoubtebly world top ten material. His fight with Alberto Jiminez was of the highest order.

    Robbie Regan was my best man and is a good friend of mine, In fact I just got off the fone to him...he is currently Training youngsters at his recently opened new gym in Cefn fforest. and to be honest he has had his ups and downs but who wouldn't if fate had dealt any one of us such a cruel blow as what happened to Robbie....I have every one of his televised fights but they are all on vhs am hoping to get them transferred to dvd soon. The Ampofo fights were classic but in fairness Rob should have won them all ....that blatant head butt..but as they say Que sera sera.....Robbie Regan my good friend you are a legend buddy xxxx btw bolluckchops is my twin bro .

    I clearly remember the fights and they were really good. 2 boxers who both wanted to win.

    Ampofo has always had a place in my heart. Lovely little fighter :)
