Jeff *spoiler*

[jBacca]

You lost but you gave it beans which is all we wanted. Great effort mate, think you'd have had him if you'd been more active.

Unlucky fella.

[J]

unlucky mate..and at least you can say you got a fan as far away as Barbados!

[Craig14]

And he gave Boxrec a mention top man

[SAPFO]

One of the best PF fights for me. Be proud, you said you was going in there for a war, you did!

[alexpaterson]

What a warrior, did himself and everyone proud!! Absoloute legend

[Yes We Can]

Superb effort from Jeff, hope this performance opens up a few more doors for him in terms of fights, he certainly deserves it off that showing. Would be an exciting little undercard fighter.

should move down to 147


oh and new nick name ..... Jeff "better left hook than smoking effing joe" Thomas ?

[Howfs89]

Yeah great entertainment, and took the loss with dignity...Can it get any better? BZ Fella.

[Finn]

And he gave Boxrec a mention top man

Yep seems like a proper nice fella, he made that a pretty exciting fight to watch. Lovely left hook!

Both those guys behaved very well in the interview theres a couple of big time boxers that could learn a lesson there lol

[damianhucker1]

Well done Jeff , you can feel proud of what you did as it looked to me as if you gave it your all , which is all anyone can ask .

[CB]

Yeah enjoyed that and it was a nice punch to knock him down.

Had some joy with that right as well. Probably should have threw it a little more.

Hats off to you for tonight though.

[Tommy Gunn13]

Hard luck Jeff you gave it a good go&you done us all proud

[Deno1986]

Fantastic effort, Jeff. You did us proud

[Gazmac81]

Great Left hook i was out my chair for that one, looked tired very early like you were blowing , dont know if thats just your boxing face

Gave us excitment though

[kamicazze]

Well done Jeff. I think you'll get Masters and area title shots on the back of this and they are thoroughly deserved.

[15829]

great effort jeff done yourself proud



maybe you can get a shot in the next welterweight prizefighter

[GlobalBox]

Proud of you Jeff, the guys were too big but still you gave it to them - well done mate - done in weight and away we go again

[stevek3lly]

Enjoyed the fight and Jeff made a really good account of himself. Well done fella, unlucky to have gone out, but a draw was the fair result.

Will it class officially as a loss or a draw?

[curtis wood]

well done jeff you did yourself proud great little scrap

[Final round]

Yep well done Jeff, shame you forgot to have your inhaler you would have knocked him out.

[Jeff Thomas]

Thanks a lot lads! Glad I did you guys proud and thanks for the kind words! The above is a sticking point at the moment - I was told at the conclusion by John wish that it would be marked as a draw on my record, but when I spoke to rob smith he told me it would be a loss!

This I don't accept- call it pride or stupidity but the rules state that three judges will make a decision and thus they arrived at a draw - no where in the rules does it state there will be a fourth adjudicator and whilst I accept his pretty ridiculous score card it should have no bearing on my record as it was not in the rules! I wasn't bothered as I felt kris deserved to go through anyway but pride won't let me have a loss on my record when I did not lose!

Not bitter or anything but just want the fair result to be shown

[Londonirish]

Well done Mate

Its down on your record as a Draw.......... Also says Agyei-Dua progressed to the semi-final by virtue of the referee's casting vote, But it is down as a Draw ...

[JamesH]

You deserve the draw on your record. As on here, you conducted yourself wonderfully in the build up and most importantly on fight night. I thought he was too big for you but you bit down and let the windmill go. A great ambassador for boxing forums, well done Jeff.

[Jeff Thomas]

Thanks - can't tell u how much ur respect makes it all worthwhile- going to move down to welter and will feature in more great fights! Believe me I'm still jmproving - only boxed one 6-2's in five years !!

[axelf45]

well done

classy knock down

thought he was just a bit to big for you,

[dondada]

Yeah, I sh1t myself when I saw how much bigger than Jazzy the other chap was.

I almost did my back in leaping in the air when Jeff landed that left hook!

You tried your best mate - on reflection, not only was he very good for a novice, you were out of your weight class.

Well done, son.
