Good value boxer, I remember him winning the British Super Feather title , Hugh Forde fighting in front of his own fans was unbeaten and looked on the way to a routine defense, he then spent a second to long on the ropes in the 3rd round and Kevin landed a superb right hand to KO Forde.

Kev was a cracking fighter - long arms, dangerous punch, misleading record. His British title win over Hughie Forde was funny because Forde was trying to win a Lonsdale Belt in record time and had already lined up his next challenger, one Mark Holt, a few weeks after Pritchard. To compound this, both Boxing Monthly and Boxing News came out with blatantly disrespectful previews. They completely wrote Pritchard off.

Bang!

From memeory he was a good fighter and in always good shape; similar to Sugar Gibilru. Far better than his record suggests.

kevin was a very good british level fighter , he fought my brother pat and won on a cut eye in the 2nd i think ,which really pissed pat off.

it's funny that he's still 9,7 as pat is now 13.7 not bad for a former feather weight

When Kevin hit his stride the super feather division was crazy; no one could keep hold of the belt and there were upsets galore; I'm glad he's doing alright, he were wrote off terribly before his big win, (ropey 'tache though).
