Great way to phrase it materollernads wrote: he was and will always be the peoples champ
and for such a while it seemed Jamie might have carried his class over into world title contention. But some things aren't meant to be. Who knows maybe had you have won that world title you may have lost that common touch that makes you so endearing to fans and those in the game. That would have been a great shame and credit to you for never playing on been 'one of the lads' like Sky were so keen to do with Hatton.Good post mateJeff Thomas wrote:Having watched Jamie from been a starry eyed 14 year old at London Road labour club in Preston right up covering his thrilling fight with Ryan Rhodes for Boxrec- I'm really sad to think that they'll be no more Jamie Moore fights to add to my collection. That said I know Jamie fairly well in a boxing sense and I have a sneaky suspision that boxing may have just lost a great fighter but gained a promising new trainer. Certainly those VIP lads will greatly benefit his experiences- plus his young lad was putting the punches together backstage at the last VIP show at the reebok.
Cracking lad you are Jamie and best of luck to you whatever you do. Easily my favourite fighter of the last 15 years 'domestically'
My first ever meeting with Jamie was pretty funny.
He was fighting in the ABA's against my pal Alan Campbell. Alan was 10-0 (10KO's), murderous puncher and had steam rolled everyone he had come across. I think I was fighting on the bill too (i won ;;-) ).
Anyway we're in the toilets at preston guild hall having a team piss. And I'm chatting to allan- usual retarded kid speak... 'Yeah Alan your well going to do him! He looks scared..., he's never fought anyone as good as you' anyway just then the toilet flushes... out of the cubicle walks a young Jamie Moore..
'Alright lads' he says, cool as a cucumber. I poop myself.
Me and alan just froze there. Felt a right twat.
Anyway 20 mins later Alan climbs into the ring. 60 seconds after that he climbs back out, Moore the victor. Think Jamie give us a wink after the fight- from then on I was a massive fan and always knew he would go on to be a top class fighter.
32-5 (23 Ko's) former British, Commonwealth and European light middle champion. Former Irish Champion. Some career that Jamie, thanks so much for the memories.

PM me mate. Best of Luck for the Future I'd second that. He always comes across well on the screen, speaks very well and most importantly is as honest as they come.Jeff Thomas wrote:They need to get him on the Skysports panel.... I'm sick of Jim Watt, Johnny Nelson needs someone intersting to chat to and even Piper and McCrory look like they'd rather be at home. Get Jamie in.
