Re: Do you subscribe to Boxing News ?

Fighters getting Foreign license
I remember hearing a few years back, about fighters who had medical queries etc, applying for foreign license to box.

Re: Obtaining a BBBofC seconds license
When I did my trainer/seconds,approx 2 years ago it was interview, and a chat about my relevant experience, a couple of questions from the rule book, and then I was put forward to the course. It is similar to a job interview

Any pics or fight posters
Hi Guys,
In the process of revamping our community gym, as we have moved into a much bigger space, just wanted to see if anyone had any old fight pics or posters, that they maybe willing to donate to go on the walls.
Many thanks

Re: Gym fighters
Do you think its an occasion thing, where the bright lights and crowd cause a mental block, or nerves?
I hated going to other gyms for sparring , used to get more nervous than fight night for some reason.

Re: how does being fat effect stamina/fat guys with good stamina
At British level I thought John mcdermott was a good example. Many thought he out worked Fury in their first fight. Not sure of some guys looks are deceiving or they pick the shots and reserve energy a bit more

Re: Aj carter stopped
Awful decision by the ref should have been waved off after 1st knockdown. Does the other guy do many tickets? If not would be suprised to see him out regularly, risk and reward don't match. He will be avoided
