Peter Jackson, who writes regularly on this forum, was awarded a draw against Patrick Cito tonight at Dudley, my man (terrible Terry) at the event said that he had Jacko winning, and Jacko has just rung me to say he feels gutted and that he thought he had done enough to have won the fight

Results of the whole card are up at http://www.britishboxing.net

Unlucky on the decision, but still take the positives - you've come back from a tough defeat to fight well. Keep in there, mate.

You must feel pretty low, what with the problems concerning the English title and now this decision - but your time will come, the luck will even itself out in the end!

Jacko was definitely unlucky. His opponent, Patrick Sito, a Zambian based in Birmingham, was no mug, but Jacko's boxing, movement and fast attacks to head and body deserved to see him home.
Still, a draw shouldn't affect his pending British Masters challenge to Martyn Bailey.
Also on the bill, Birmingham light-middleweight Terry Adams made a stunning pro debut when he flattened Welshman Neil Addis with a big right in the second round. Addis, slightly taller than Adams, boxed competently in the first and looked like giving the equally well-schooled Adams a hard night (it was scheduled for six twos). But in the second, Adams began to get through with left hooks, then unloaded a perfect right, and they could have counted to a hundred.

Bad luck there Jacko, sounds like you were robbed. Just remember:

All round a good card. Peter Jackson, well supported in the hall, was definitely unlucky. He attacked with fast combinations and moved well, but after clearly winning the first two rounds began to get caught more frequently by hooks and uppercuts, which must have swayed the ref.
Cito for me didn’t do enough or force the fight sufficiently to deserve a share of the spoils. Unlucky Jacko, but it shouldn’t effect your standing and Cito proved himself to be a well schooled fighter.

Terry Adams’ fight was a cracker. Plenty had come up from Birmingham to see his debut and he did not disappoint. The Welsh lad looked fit and in the first round boxed well, parrying and slipping most of what Adams offered. In the second round it had the look of becoming a tough fight when Adams detonated a right onto his opponents jaw and it was game over.

The main event between Richard Swallow and Marcus Portman was a messy affair with styles clashing badly, leading to heads coming together and excessive clinching. Portman boxed well from the southpaw stance and built up a lead over the first 7 rounds, which was cut into over the last couple of rounds as he tired. Swallow tried throughout but couldn’t get to grips with Portman’s style and lost 98 – 92 after 10 tough rounds.

Young Muttley also made an appearance. Four laconic rounds with Peter Dunn acted as a warm up to his scheduled appearance on allegedly’s Scottish bill in March. Muttley, who boxed for Wednesbury ABC as an amateur, is a name to watch.

Perfect summing up of the show, Terrible Terry. Nice to see a few Midlands 'faces' mingling around the hall: Rob Norton of course (his brother Danny won a four-rounder on the bill), Andy Flute, Gary Flear, Roddy Doran, the legendary Nobby Nobbs (who casts himself off as a poor man, but we all know he's a millionaire), Paul Wesley and co. Considering there was a big ABA event just down the road the same night (which was packed out), the attendance at Dudley was excellent.
Rob Norton, former WBU cruiserweight champion, looked in excellent shape, and it struck me he how overlooked he is in the current cruiserweight mix. He gave Mark Hobson a tough fight for the British and Commonwealth cruiserweight titles last September (really hurting Hobson in the seventh round) and is probably too dangerous for his own good. You don't hear David Haye calling him out.

True Bennie, I noticed a few faces myself.
Andy Flute was looking hard as nails, despite being retired for a good few years. Terry Adams was cornered by good ex-pro Trevor Smith, the only man to have beaten Jason Cook professionally.

Rob Norton is a name no one is shouting or calling out – that in itself is an indication of his ‘dangerman’ status. It would be good to see him put in the mix with one of these young bangers. He would certainly put their boxing to the test.

I doubt we will be forgetting that name in a hurry Terry

Bad luck to Jacko, but good luck in that fight with Martyn Bailey
