Re: anyone fancy living the dream and having a fight?
A few years ago, I would have taken you up on the offer (did some sparring in the past). People I used to spar with told me I could punch and take a punch pretty ok.
Getting closer to the big 40 now, so I'll stick to playing football, but good luck mate

You would get matched sensibly and then be able to tell your grandkids that you did it, should have, would have, could have were the last words of a foolbengulnaci1 wrote:A few years ago, I would have taken you up on the offer (did some sparring in the past).

Are all your shows in Pompey, Bill or do you ever venture north? I might be interested if you do a show not too far from Liverpool.

Great idea! Shame Carlos is in China - imagine his 320lb going against some keyboard warrior...kingfinn wrote:maybe we should get a boxrec round robin tourney going, bet theres a few people on this forum who would like a crack at each other for real lol.

I'd also be interested in anything like this in the Liverpool/Cheshire area (live there now), any training facilities, white collar organisations etc.SweetLikeSugar wrote:Are all your shows in Pompey, Bill or do you ever venture north?

Maybe worth us looking into?

It is a great idea though! Kudos to Billy for posting this up, it would make a good new year's resolution and it would be very interesting to read up on the preperation and the lead up to the bout for any boxrecers who fancy having a go.

Re: anyone fancy living the dream and having a fight?
If I was anywhere near Pomp I'd fancy giving it a go. Best of luck mate, as stated it would be great if a few lads of here got involved and we could follow up on how they're getting on preparing etc.
Re: anyone fancy living the dream and having a fight?
I've always fancied it but never done it. Nearest I've got is a punchman thing in my garden and some 'back garden boxing' with mates! Am gona try and join an amateur boxing club this year though.

Where abouts in Pompey is your boxing club Billy?

Funnily enough Carlos travelled to Birmingham to fight me once (I'm being serious). It's an old story which we don't talk about any moreoliverfennell wrote:Great idea!

You should tell the story from the beginning if you are going to tell it... and make it the truthful, unabridged version. ;;-)The Law wrote:Funnily enough Carlos travelled to Birmingham to fight me once.
