He's not a bad lad he just lost sight of the big prize,there is nothing wrong with self confidence it's how you handle yourself after it gets dented that matters,I think we will see a different Mitchell tonight now that he's with Adam Booth,in his fight with Jupp there was no plan B he was so sure t...

Dalcumly I'm surprised you have left it until now ,why did't you start up your Sudan boxing Organisation back when the WBC,or WBA WBO IBF WBU were all formed,sorry to tell this but I think you may have missed the boat

It does indeed ,and if there are repercussions it will make things even more interesting

its as well your opinion Expe is only your's or there would be far less people helping to make boxing safer for the boxers,just what part do you play in our sport apart from critic

Despite all the negative posts on here I am very proud to be involved with MBC/WBU And I'm looking forward to the times ahead,It didn't need to be this way with the BBBOC BUT IT IS THEIR CHOOSING,We worked with them in the past and no one can deny that with champions like Ricky Hatton the WBU really...

I have been told it's £20,000 now but if it is only £10,000 it's even more farcical

Anyone that still thinks that BBBOC run boxing in Britain must also believe in the tooth fairy the big promoters run every aspect of boxing from who gets the fights and in some cases whether they get paid for boxing,if they had any power all boxers would have their pay backed up by the board,as it i...

Can someone explain to me how the Boxrec ratings are contrived,just been looking at the British Super Feather Weight rating and there is a boxer ( Romeo Romero) rated at 15 after only 2 bouts against very mediocre opposition yet there are active boxers with more wins below him,I know Romeo is a flam...

This is the official BBBOC ruling on a boxer being eligible to fight for the British title ,Must be a British citizen by birth or be a person born abroad who has since become a British citizen and has been permanently resident and domiciled in the territory for a continuous period of not less than 5...

a lot of the A class referees are kept from moving up to star by the fact that it is the star Refs that decide on who does and does not get it, so it become very much a closed shop, I suppose they see it as a threat

I have just finished one of the best boxing books that I have read, the title is A Boxing Companion Edited by Harry Mullan And Peter Arnold first published in1992

Micky Duff is suffering from alzheimers & is living in a care home

Thats a great read Mate, where are those characters now

I found Dark Trade an interesting book a change from the usual screed describing fights that we all know punch for punch, he added a more human side to boxing particulary his time spent with James Toney

A very happy Thanksgiving to all my friends across the pond have a great one

In theory it's a great idea but just not practical for us fans to try to put this on, I still feel that the best chance of this taking place is if we can convince Eddie Hearn of the commercial gain for his company in doing this on Face book we have about 2,400 members who have shown interest in this...

Connie called me a drama queen, here's why. I went out to get the newspaper, I found the paper underneath one of the cars on the driveway. I had to get down on my hands and knees to get it and at 74 years of age that's not an easy task to do. I struggle getting up, and in doing so I ran out of brea...

I think Connie got over her blouse that I ruin. She just asked me if I would like her to make albondigas with home made tortillas. "Hell yes babe, go for it" I said.... I think you had better check for any special ingredients like powered glass, you know what women are like mate when they...

Thanks for the explanation Charlie, from a distance it did seem very strange for the Mayor to do this especially as he no doubt wants to get re elected some time. would it have been more acceptable to FDNY if along with relatives of those that died say a quota from each fire house were invited ther...

Nipper Read is the bloke who brought down the Krays.

Glad you spotted the not so deliberate mistake but both "nippers" were great fighters in their own way

For Charlie Norkus http://framework.latimes.com/2011/08/29/rescue5/ Thanks Frank. FDNY Rescue companies (there are 5) are heavy-duty rescue units that carry specialized equipment not found on other types of fire rigs.

The Nipper book is a great read, An unbelievable story of a young kid who was boxing 15 rounds at 14years old & this career was finished before he reached 20, in a boxing world without many controls Pat" nipper" Read was exploited beyond any reasoning

Just watched it randy well put together but could been even better without stallone, after all it is a boxing hall of fame

Rick you know how business was conducted in the past ,the boxer took the punches & the promoter/managers took the profit along with any behind closed door scheming they could get away with,Hold on just one minute I could be talking about today nothing has changed just that those with the power h...
