2 TITLE LOSSES FOLLOW 2 WINS BUT PROSPECTS SHINE
After British title victories for Tony Quigley and Gary Davies , VIP had 2 title defeats to stop their great run following the success of Jamie Moore in his European title victory. The plus side was the performances of the young VIP prospects.
Mike Robinson - Lost in his English title challenge to Ross Burkinshaw in a great scrap which was as even as their fantastic draw a few weeks prior. Each round swayed from fighter to fighter as one traded whilst the other rested , we had Mike just in front due to his cleaner work rate but in the 7th round he tired and the referee called a halt to the scrap. It was only Mikes 6th fight and maybe was a bit to soon for him , but he will be back.
Mark Moran – Was beaten in his bid to become the British Super-Bantamweight Champion by Jason Booth who got himself in a rhythm and looked very good. The fight was halted in the 6th when a bad head clash left Mark with a bad cut eye that left him unfit to continue , however apart from the first round Booth was in control and was winning the fight comfortably. The real Mark Moran did not turn up but he is still English Champion and we will work him back another go.
Martin Murray - Looked very powerful in his 2nd round stoppage win over Kevin Conception.
Carl Dilcs – Picked out some lovely shots in his easy points win over Journeyman James Tucker who was a late replacement for the injured Joe Ainscough.
Jack Arnfield – The 19 year old moved to 10-0 with a tidy performances winning over points against Paul Mobrey.
Nick Quigley - The 18 year had a points win over the cagey Kristian Laight in his 2nd pro fight and shown some good shot selections.
Tyrone Nurse - Been a pro for just over a year now since turning 18 and moved to 7-0 with a sharp display in a points win over the durable Johnny Greaves
Karl Place – Moved to 5-0 within 6 months of being a pro when he stopped the decent Jamie Spence in 2 rounds , it was a controlled aggressive display.
Next weeks gossip will have details of the next VIP show in Bolton on the 17th May which will have 9 fights topped by Alex Matvienko in a British Master title fight and will include the pro debuts of Trevor Crewe and Tony Aitcheson.
