A video of them here, from earlier in the year.

They sound like morons.

I really hope someone humbles those guys.

I'm one of the "Racist, Inbred, Disrespectful bunch of caants" that you lot make yourself feel better by talking about. I am none of those things and as far as i'm aware none of the walshes other fans are either. We are friends and family of 3 young boxers, originally from Rochdale, now boxing out of Cromer. All of whom have had varying degrees of success at ABA level, and at present doing very well as professionals. Micheals style is working very well, however much it annoys people like yourselves, with a record of 4 fights - 4 wins - 4 knockouts. Beating Delroy Spencer twice along the way. For any professional thats a good start to their career. The hard hitting Ryan has a record of 5-5-1, again a good start with a 21 second ko on debut, maybe hoping to increase the last column but not concerned, a very good jaw as proved against a bulgarian gypsy in his second fight. Liam is a good technical fighter, choosing his punches carfully and pulling them off with power and acuraccy, has a record of 3-3-2 and was excellent on the khan bill on saturday beating a much bigger opponent in Youseff al Hamidi. As a boxing fan i dont like hearing people shouting the likes of "kill him" either but it happens at every venue, not just when us walsh fans are about. Ive been at all of the fights and in my view there has been alot of very pleasant interaction between us and other boxing fans and we have always applauded the opponents after the fight. I hope that ive said enough to change some of your opinions. As for Vinny Mitchell he would be best suited to either Liam OR Ryan and as a fight fan i too would like to see it but i think that many of you may be suprised by the outcome. Please remember that it is only the start of the boys careers and practice makes perfect, give them another year and then you can start judging.

I can only judge from what I saw, but there was , to my ear , a significant ammount of racist chanting (monkey noises) coming from Walshes fans during Michael's first fight with Delroy Spencer. Spencer himself was clearly upset about this.

As for the fact that all three are undefeated, this is hardly surprising. Their opponents have all been brought in at very short notice, all with limited records- par for the course for "prospects."

That said- time will tell. I'd hope to see them in some more competative action next year- there are other prospects out there too, of course, it would be good to see some of them square off.

I can guarentee 100% that the walsh fans were not making racist remarks, any one of them that ever decided to do that would be quickly stopped as we are there to support our boys, not to make enemies. I am not calling you a liar but i think that you may well have misheard us.

As far as the rest of your comments go i agree with what you say, they were never going to be thrown in against the best straight away, FW is far too canny for that, but mark my words by the end of next year they will be facing and beating a different class of opponent. I too would like to see how they would fare against other prospects, as FW did with Sam Sexton and Derek Chisora, it would be a good gauge on where they are in terms of going forward and also enjoyable to watch.

Yeah, this has been discussed before- I think it was claimed that the fans were making "oooooh oooooh " noises as part of "Who Let The Dog's Out," which were misinterpreted as "monkey noises."

Yeah, I'd hope to see them move up in class. At the moment, with regards to their ability, I'd have to say that "The jury is out," defence could be an issue- but time will tell!
