Errol and Lloyd Christie from Coventry.

Its shame this, not sure why he's out but he needed this to move his career on, too much talk not enough action, the lad has talent no doubt about it but so do loads of other fighters, needs to get busy fighting lads that matter We all defended you when you took all that stick in the match with Gav...

I can't find any odds on this anywhere. has anyone got the betting figures or suggest a place where I can find them please?

Thats a brave post Billy, fair play to you backing your lad which is exactly what a trainer should be doing. Unfortunately I think you may be well off the mark with this one, Burns is a great fighter and has performed well up until now full credit to him. Mitchell has had one loss and you are writin...

Cause trouble and BS talk?? Really? Didn't realise I was talking to School kids. What 'trouble' is there to be caused talking about boxing? Grow up mate, asked for a simple opinion. Wow a lot of you are a paranoid bunch aren't you Anyone who has observed the forums would know that whenver you voice...

Good venue for boxing there used to be many a great show at the Civic back in the day. It will be good to see some small hall boxing back in Bham and full respect to the promoters for giving it an outlet. Maybe some of these lads may be able to build a fan base and keep bringing the shows back again...

Safeerah 7 out of the 15 judges went for Ogogo round for round. And the countback scores were 52 -52. Try the link below for the scores. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/olympics/boxing/9450347/London-2012-Olympics-How-Anthony-Ogogo-beat-Levgen-Khytrov-on-a-majority-vote.html I am in agreement that ...

Surely they must do something about this now otherwise everyone will be appealing, they have to get all the judges and referees together to discuss this terrible situation and warn them all of the penalties for mistakes ( if you can call it that ). You know what, while they are at it maybe they sho...

Totally agree. Ochieng has stepped up to the mark up until now and I think he will emerge with the win from this one further pushing him towards a tilt at the next level up. Quote: Why has this turned into the Saf Show yet again? I have stuck up for you on a few occasions Saf but I can see why peopl...

This is an interesting fight. Erick has to beat these fighters to move on to the next level. Im sure he will and then CommonWealth or British level. Totally agree. Ochieng has stepped up to the mark up until now and I think he will emerge with the win from this one further pushing him towards a til...

Follow this link and you will see the pads in use as a coaching tool.

I personally think that all the high speed padwork that is prevalent in the majority of gyms nowadays is all about show and has no substance to it other than perhaps a liitle bit of a conditioning effect. It is used as an ego boost for the coach, the boxer, or quite often both the coach and the boxe...

I think we can safely say that bout won,t be happening any time soon! Etches vs Carruthers would be an interesting one as would Eubanks vs Valentine.

Where does Aston go from here? What are the opinions on Aston vs Adam Etches somewhere down the line? Etches is another one on the way up who seems to possess serious punching power.

Do you not think they should doubt his ability after that performance ?

Not doubt but still need convincing. When he has beaten someone of note with a decent record then perhaps we can start being true believers!!

5 or 6 rounds down your having laugh or taking the piss, be serious ! Actually said 4 maybe 5 (have another look). Its just an opinion based on my interpretation of the fight. The judges all saw it that way as well albeit not quite as wide as that so I dont see why you are so indignant to the conce...

You could be right Macho about power developing a bit further for Al Harbi. I dunno that it will improve massively as he is 23 now and in terms of maturity I wouldn't expect it to increase dramatically. Even with training geared up to improving the power ratio it would be difficult to see him become...

Have watched this now on you tube. Not a bad performance from Al harbi at this stage of his career. Thought the result was fair enough with Della Rosa ahead by 4 or maybe 5 rounds in my opinion. Interesting to see where Al harbi goes from this point, his lack of power may be his undoing in the long ...

Frankie "fast hands" Gavin

Frankie Gavin won't be able to shake off the doubters until he faces and comes through a couple of real live opponents. Other than Curtis Woodhouse (personally i thought Woodhouse shaded it) he hasn't really beat anyone of note yet. He hasn't got all the time in the world and if he is going to make ...

So you are saying that it is not about the money? You were ready to fight Cleverly weight drained at a days notice. Frankie is not a kid no more he needs to get on with things. Things do not look too bright if he is not willing to take these type of risks. His team are the ones that wanted the figh...

Oh no! If thisi s true its just another nail in the coffin of the career of what should have been one of the best we ever produced in Britain. Frankie has been on here a couple of times stating how everything is back to the way it should be and that his training and life are back on track yet he is ...
