Re: Tom Dallas
This isn't meant as criticism, but didn't Dallas as much as say that his main aim was to make as much money from boxing as possible - no harm in that - and that's why he took the Price fight at such short notice. If that's the case it perhaps wasn't that surprising to see him in prizefighter

Re: Prizefighter Reserves?
Saw Darch in the welsh ams a couple of years back when he won it. He was giving away a fair bit of height to Andrew Wyn Jones but just seemed to bully him out of it. He's quite stocky and seemed to have a good dig on him but his technique was pretty wild. Haven't seen him since he's gone pro

Is Krasniqi with Sauerland, if so he'll probably have a shout, suitably padded record and a light puncher

Boxing Sponsorship
Sorry in advance as I'm sure this is a really dull question but I've been wondering how much do people typically spend sponsoring a boxer and what do they hope to get out of it? I'm not talking about big companies sponsoring known fighters, more about small companies who sponsor people just turning ...

Re: Me vs Jason cook
Should be a really good fight
Cook has got a lot of heart, will come to win and can bang. Gavin has got the better skills which will see him through
Should be a great learning fight well done for taking it

Re: Trouble at the Boxing
I imagine it would be quite difficult to shift from reactive to pro-active measures at boxing unlike football. For example in the main football fans travel from one town to another for a match (I appreciate the cockney reds etc are different) so the football intelligence teams can monitor and contro...

Re: Gavin Rees back at Lightweight
Damian Owen is also a light welter, i'd be very suprised if either came in anywhere near the lightweight limit. Also the Calzaghe's are really struggling, they have no tv and sticking the likes of Rees and Pryce on is very expensive, they are too expensive for small hall shows. I dunno if this 'new...

Re: Maccarinelli vs Lebedev on Khan undercard
Its an interesting fight because isn't Lebedev also a FW fighter? If the roles were reversed and Enzo was the undefeated prospect and Lebedev the former world champ coming off 2 bad losses I'd see it as Warren sacrificing the former world champ. But surely another defeat for Enzo and its curtains?!

Re: nathan cleverly
He's definitely improving. The lhw division isnt the strongest, my the time he is ready for the big fights you'd assume people like RJJ, Hopkins and Woods will have departed so I can see him winning a world title at some stage.
