Bloody hell, way to end a career!

Maybe when someone said he could be the next Scott Harrison he never quite understood what they meant.

Anderson had potential but has looked god-awful in his last few fights and would never have moved past domestic level.

Spot-on, but still shocking.

[whicker]

Yeah, other than an early fight with Shon Davis- a capable and keen fighter- he doesn't seem to have fought anyone of note (but then, he only has had 10 fights.)

scottish boxers!!!

to be honest this victim could of hurt burgaled or pushed drugs on a family member which i would also attempt to seriously hurt as would most.
i find it hard too see how a proffessional boxer would struggle to controll themselfs as the dicipline they go through shows they are diciplined people.
ive seen anderson in interviews & he seems a bright enough individual??

[Gazmac81]

to be honest the full ins and outs need to be heard before judgment from people can be passed
hes a tough boy so for him to be using a hammer on someone maybe suggests it was more than just a scuffle with someone

unless he just totally lost his temper and hammer was there

doesnt look good though

Such a shame, who'd be a Scottish boxer? Edinburgh is a warzone at the moment though, shootings and stabbings every week. Hope he can get himself back on track but it dosen't look very promising.

[1southpaw]

well if this is true and being a boxer he should have controlled his anger. for a boxer to use his fists outside the ring is out of order. he.ll get whats comming to him a long prison sentance (hopefully) we done dont need knob heads like him bringing a bad name to british boxing

[Gazmac81]

alot of boxers maybe dont need to use there fists outside due to people not messing with them
however if pushed then sometimes theres a few clowns out there who deserve a punch

not condoning this in anyway as it sounds pretty brutal
but well know the ins and outs soon enough no doubt.

Here are 3 topics taken from the Edinburgh Evening Newspaper,

Published Date: 30 June 2009
BOXING champion Kenny Anderson has made a second appearance in court charged with attempting to murder a man with a hammer.
Commonwealth Games gold medallist Anderson, 26, is alleged to have struck David Togher with the weapon in Hay Drive, Edinburgh on June 23.

The professional super-middleweight is understood to have been training in Los Angeles when detectives visited his wife Lisa at their home in Paisley Drive, Willowbrae, to speak to Mr Anderson in connection with a hammer attack in Hay Drive, Craigmillar at around 8:20pm last Tuesday.

Another man, Dean Scott, 26, from Edinburgh, also appeared from custody at Edinburgh Sheriff Court today charged with the same offence.

It is alleged the pair, while acting together, repeatedly punched and struck Mr Togher with a hammer on the head, severely injuring him, and attempted to murder him.

They appeared separately, in private and on petition, before Sheriff Alastair Noble, and made no plea.

Both were remanded in custody after being refused bail and are planning to appeal for their freedom at the High Court later this week, said their solicitors.

Published Date: 25 June 2009
DETECTIVES are today hoping to talk to a 39-year-old father shot on his Edinburgh doorstep as children slept upstairs.

The victim, named locally as Douglas Downing, was today recovering after being wounded in the waist area as he walked his dog by a shotgun blast fired by a masked man.

Detectives say they are hoping to talk to the "well-respected family man" again today as they try to identify a motive behind the shooting in Duddingston's Paisley Drive yesterday morning.

His two young sons were led away by relatives yesterday afternoon clutching small suitcases while Mr Downing's partner, Carol McEvoy, is understood to have spent the day at his bedside at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary.

The sons are both pupils at Parsons Green Primary School, just 50 metres from the spot where their father was shot.

Asked by neighbours how he was coping with what happened to his father, the older child is said to have replied "OK".

A family friend described Mr Downing, a plumber, as a "lovely, quiet guy" and said the community was struggling to understand why anyone would shoot him.

The attacker, who was wearing a ski mask or balaclava, fired at least two shots, with one of them hitting Mr Downing and the other reportedly damaging the house.

The victim was able to raise the alarm and an ambulance arrived at the scene minutes later.

Officers described the attack as "lethal and life-threatening" and said that while they could never rule out a case of mistaken identity, they were satisfied Mr Downing was deliberately targeted.

Officers said they had not identified any drug or criminal-related motive for the shooting.

Police said Mr Downing underwent an operation yesterday and was able to speak to detectives for a few minutes and give them a brief description of the assailant.

Detectives said a silver car parked in nearby Meadowfield Drive was seen leaving the area at speed at the time and may have been the escape vehicle.

A team of five officers spent yesterday combing through Mr Downing's front and back garden, and his bins, looking for evidence the gunman may have left.

Detective Superintendent Allan Jones said that Mr Downing was shot as he returned home from walking his dog at around 12:40am yesterday. He said: "On entering his home address, he became aware there had been somebody lingering in the background.

"He turned round and that individual discharged what we think may have been a shotgun at him.

"At least two shots were discharged, one of these striking the victim. It was a very serious and cowardly attack which could easily have been lethal."

A family friend of Mr Downing said: "Doug is a lovely, quiet guy. Carol's lovely as well and they have two sons that go to the same school as my children. It must be terrible for the family for that to happen on their doorstep. No-one can think of any reason why that would happen to Doug."

Det Supt Jones said that the shooting was an "incredibly unusual" incident and that there will be additional high-visibility police patrols on the street to reassure residents in Duddingston.

Police also want to speak to two teenagers – unconnected to the incident – who were playing football nearby at that time

Published Date: 30 June 2009
A MAN has been stabbed around a dozen times in a vicious assault linked to the shooting of father-of-two Douglas Downing.
Dean Scott, 26, is being treated at the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary after the attack in the Inch on Sunday night.

His injuries are not believed to be life-threatening and detectives are waiting to question him.

They are thought to be keen to establish whether the attack is connected to the shooting of Mr Downing outside his home in Paisley Drive, Willowbrae at 12:40am last Wednesday.

Mr Downing was blasted by a masked gunman with a shotgun as he returned from walking his dog in what police are convinced is a case of mistaken identity.

Police said their investigations into the two attacks were ongoing and would not comment on whether they were linked.

But sources close to criminals in the south of the city said that the stabbing had been carried out on the instructions of the same drug dealer that ordered the botched hit in which Mr Downing was shot.

Mr Downing, 39, is now recovering at home after being released from hospital. and friends said he was "trying to get back to normal life".

Residents in the Inch said a large number of officers descended on the area yesterday in response to the stabbing.

A police spokesman said: "Police in Edinburgh are carrying out inquiries after a 26-year-old man was assaulted in the Inch area of the city on Sunday night. The man was later admitted to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, where he is being treated for his injuries."

It doesn't take a top detective to link these 3 together. The guy who was shot in a case of mistaken identity lives in the same street as Kenny Anderson. It looks like he is in a world of sh1t.
