ITS BEEN AN ABSOLUTE PLEASURE

[alexpaterson]

Just looked at your record and I was amazed how many top class names you'd shared the ring with! And didn't get stopped a lot (plus drawing with Theophane!) well done and enjoy your retirement

[Counter-puncher]

Thorpey- congratulations. you've had a good career, I've see n you several times and always enjoyed watching you, you have been in the ring with a lot of good and very good fighters.

you have a lot to be proud of in your time in the ring and I hope you enjoy your well-earned retirement- everyone in the game speaks of you as a proper gent and I add my name to that list. hopefully I'll get chance to say hello if I see you around at a bill.

all the best fella

You're very well thought of looking at all these posts. Hope you get to be a referee or inspector; you got the nounce and experience to be really good.

Best of luck Thorpey, sort out what you have too and then back into the game in another role, to much knowledge to lose.

I'm sad to say that after 139 professional fights the time has come for me to call it a day.I could sit here all day sayin what if i'd done things this way or that way or i wish i'd done this or that,but the truth is i've loved every minute of it and i wouldn't have it any other way.Over the years i've Had some brilliant experiences,i've met some amazing people through boxing and made some great friends and i'd love to write down their names but there's too many and i'd hate to leave anyone out so i'd just like to say a big big thank you to everyone i've been involved with through boxin,its been an absolute pleasure and i'll miss it like nothing else.I'm gonna take some time out while i try and sort out my shambles of a personal life( ) then hopefully once i'm settled get back into boxing as maybe an inspector or referee.

all the very best

[SWALSH]

Caught some of your twilight fights and reported on them for Boxrec. You've shared the ring with future world titlists and the elite of the domestic scene. Even in your 137th fight (Hamilton?) I remember you screaming at your opponent you weren't weak.Your kind are the life blood of the scene. All the best in whatever you do next, hopefully stiil in the game.
