Ally - the type of headgear you pictured would only be allowable if AIBA approved it - or the EABA approved it. I doubt seriously that it would be sanctioned for competitions. How are you???? Long time no hear. :D Hello there! It has been a while, how are things with you? I am still plugging away i...

hmmm, I wonder do you know the cornea problem he has? I see a cornea specialist regularly for the cornea condition I have. Here is information for you, this office (Boston MA, USA) specializes in Corneas... Opthalmic Consultants of Boston http://www.eyeboston.com 1-800-635-0489 I personally see Doc...

Fundo has a genetic eye condition which has caused erosion of his cornea. This has been exacerbated by boxing. The condition will clear up on its own, if his cornea is not irritated, but this would mean either giving up his Olympic ambitions or risking permanent blindness. He has been offered an ope...

We have a boxer (Fundo Mhura) at our club in Edinurgh, Scotland who is a real prospect. He won a bronze medal at last years European championships and is currently training with Great Britain’s Olympic squad. He has a condition which causes his eyelashes to turn inwards when he is hit. Doctors are n...

Rocky Marciano.

His amateur record was nothing special, I think he won 8 lost 4.

Leith Victoria’s Fundo Mhura was sensationally excluded form the Scotland squad for the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne in March 2006. A combination of an inopportune bout of mumps preventing him defending his Scottish welterweight title in 2005; no subsequent box off; and chronic delays in processi...

Might be a bit early the guy is writing a book. I'll talk to him though.

delisa wrote:California also recognized the Newsboy Brown-Hill fight as for the title, as did, of course, Britain.

Yes they did.

However the premier sanctioning body of the day was the NYSAC. Until recently confusion as to their position has led to Benny Lynch being credited as Scotland's first world champ.

I am doing a little research into the career of Jonny Hill. He won the world flyweight title when he beat the American ‘Newsboy’ Brown on points in 1928. My question is about Newsboy. His Bio states that he emigrated to the USA from Russia. His name however is not very Russian. David Montrose, as fa...

Regarding Jonny Hill: I spoke today with Brian Donald, journalist and boxing historian, who has been doing some research into the ex Leith Victoria (my club) Boxer. He has been given access to the family files and has read a letter from the New York State Commission confirming that Jonny Hill was th...

Craig McEwan is looking for some bouts. If you have a match (or a possible match) for him (75Kg 300ish bouts - will box anyone) please let me know.

post here or pm me

I do not understand the term myself but is it giving George Bush a cuddle?

I don't think Harrison has the one punch power to deck Marquez. Harrison's power is not of the same order as Pacquaio's. However more importantly, he's nowhere near as quick as Pacquaio and would have a hard time landing a big wide hook on him. Maybe it is a bad day at the office on two occasions, ...

I do not agree that Harrison has been "exposed twice". Assuming the first exposure to be Medina 1, he was simply ill as was evidenced by the wholly different performance in the rematch where Medina had to use every dirty trick in the book simply to survive. As for the comment that Harrison...

Hi Guys, Thanks for your info, Once I am in a club and fully fit who then decides who/when i fight. Thanks A good club should follow basic principals. 1. Have you expressed an interest in boxing competitively? Many people who train at boxing clubs never box, so you should let the trainers know you ...

I think it is a bit harsh on Harrison to imply that he is prone to invalid excuses. The only occasion where he cited illness appears to be validated by the vastly different performance in the rematch. That said this fight was much harder than his camp expected. Sadly due to amateur boxing commitment...

You don't say where you live so it is hard to be specific but your national association should be able to give you a list of affiliated clubs. If you are rural you may have only the choice of one club. If you live in an urban area you may have a choice of clubs. If so most will be happy for you to t...

Particularly against Marciano who had an unremarkable amateur record.

I do not approve of anthems for boxing, believing them more appropriate for team games. If they have to be played then it should be both not one. The two (Scots/English-UK) anthems are in many ways similar as both talk of beating each other off whenever one of us got too excited. I think the differe...

what kind of garbage response was that??? like they dont have a point to make or no they are in the wrong so just dont want to discuss it thats what it seems to me. You watch the documentry on bbc 1 tonight?? you know any of the boys from amatures i cant say i do but maybe as they are from west and...

Dear Mr Tennent Further to your recent letter regarding our policy on Boxing, the BMA bord of Science believe that we adequatley covered the basis for current BMA policy in our previous letter to you, dated 19 October 2004. We have nothing further to add to our original response and the bord of scie...

This is the response from the BMA. They pretty much failed to address any of the points raised focusing instead on taking umbrage to the accusation on references and trying to sell me a book. I have responded with a numbered list of questions. As I have copied ministers and MPs they will be under so...
