KARL PLACE – Had his first live SKY fight on Saturday night when he stepped up to 8 rounds and stopped George Watson in the 5th of what was a very exciting fight for the live punters. Karl copped for a good left hook in the 2nd but this did not deter his aggression and he continued to walk forward throwing good hard punches that finally wilted his opponent when a barrage pinned him to the ropes.

JOSH WARRINGTON - Was also shown on SKY in another exciting contest which shown Josh throwing 750 punches in the 6 rounds points victory over Chris Riley who had trained for Rendell Munroe – ‘Out with the old and in with the new ‘ was the reaction from promoter Frank Maloney.

Good stuff as always, well done VIP....good, gritty matches with good, gritty up-and-comers.

This is the bread and butter of UK boxing....

Who are the opponents?

[Captain Hook]

I was talking in general about VIP. Been to several of their shows and they're what boxing is all about IMO. Tough fights with good prospects, great atmosphere and no nonsense.

Examples of fighters I've seen on their Wigan and Greater Manchester bills would be Flournoy, Moore, Matvienko, Murray, Thompson, Sykes....always value for money.

What opponents are you talking about?

[Captain Hook]

PS If you're asking who are the opponents for these upcoming cards I don't know, you'd have to ask VIP. I'm just a fan....

I looked on "schedule" and could not see any opponents listed - I just asked as you said the were gritty matches and I thought that the names had been announced.

[Captain Hook]

I was talking generally sorry pal, sure they'll be announced soon..

Has Trevor Crewe packed-up ?

He appeared on the Boxrec schedule a couple of months ago on a bill in the north east a while but never boxed. I always keep an eye out for him. Very aggressive boxer!
