He lost his first 4 fights, 3 of those he was DQ'd in. Shows he learnt the hard way.

Looking at his record and i forgot that Colin Dunne and Barry Jones beat him over here. Dunne beat him by a shut out decision, even though that was at lightweight its a very good win for Dunne.

I remember that one - he was a right tough nut. This fight was shown on terrestrial tv (in the good old days, when the word terrestrial meant as in the film ET).

I have just looked up the fight - it was 10 years ago :oo

Did that bill also have a few other good fights with the Manchester lads - Carl Thompson ? (I might just be getting mixed up).

I remember reading that he used the weight & kudos of the EBU title to get a job as a PE teacher in his hometown. He had been turned down for the job previously but upon winning and defending the title a few times, the school wanted him!!

Another guy who came over here and had success was Stefano Zoff, he always struck me as tough as the proverbial coffin nail.
