Ah right. Just seem very knowledgeable on here, did you have a previous username on boxrec?
no mate, I only started posting Sep 23 but seem to have signed up Feb 22, I think I signed up when I was looking up records and it made you sign in. Bloody love boxing.

So where are you from? Do you have any connections in boxing?
I speak to Jackie Kallen regularly and know Thomas Hauser a bit, as am a bookworm and read Hauser's literature of fiction and ended up getting to know him when he wrote an article about Dec Spelman, who I do know
Few names there. Kallen, James Toneys ex manager. And Dec, well I was online friends with Scott Westgarth (RIP) I got to talk to his dad a lot as he was the first pro boxer main event i went to see

god bless Scott, remember that fight. I aways thought Dec conducted himself very well throughout it, very hard to know what to say or do with such a tragedy. I used to watch Dec, he was sponsored by my friend's business, lovely lad. Trains Gainsborough BK Pro Rico Hoye now, Rico is a top BK fighter who trains people in boxing MMA and BK, fights with a colostomy bag, tough tough man.

Very sad. Still have the message I sent to Scott that night. Tragic.

Grannum is one of those journeymen you know could/sometimes should win so many more than he does. Not knocking him, it's an art form and he is talented.

It shows really what Allen is capable of. He's not scared anyone in the top 20 (UK). Personally I think he's just picking up a few quid here and there with these fights. I'm guessing tonight he's just earned £5000 which isn't bad.

Really, MasterG ? I'd be surprised if he got £5k for a 4 rounder against a guy with a long losing record.

Allen kept busy during the 4 rounds and at least didn't sleepwalk his way through it.

Forget Dave's talk of having much boxing ability....it's levels. When he steps up against a winner, the result will always be the same.

Yeh I think that was a 5k fight. I know boxers who get around that much at this level

Fair enough, MasterG. I'm surprised, because I wouldn't have thought boxing live on YouTube equates to the normal TV money boxers can expect.

If King's as limited in experience as the commentators are claiming, King could be worth keeping an eye on.
