Missed this fight in 2000. Llewelyn fight was on undercard of Colin Dunne/Billy Schwer. Was it broadcast and if so, anyone remember it? Not to be disrespectful of Llewelyn but the guy was so fragile, Sprott must have been on a real low to get blown out by him.

Did see Sprott lose his undefeated record to Harry Senior on body shots in 1998 though, anyone recall that? Senior was a hard bastard!

Wayne bombed out Sprott big time after three touch and go rounds and Sprott just came apart when Harry realised the body was a problem area for Sprott, but it's Michael who had far the most successful career since.

I always liked Llewellyn but it's his attitude what has cost more than his ability to hold a shot. The Kenna loss was shocking.

Yeah i remember the Harry Senior fight, have it on tape but badly aged.

Were you ringside for the Sprott/Llewelyn fight or was it broadcast? Dont know much about him other than Pele, Frankie Swindell et al easily bombing him out. What was his attitude problem....?

there was a fight with llwellyn and someone with the surname gasgoigne i think and when lywellyn stopped him he laughed in his face although he did apollgise and looked shocked at what he had done.

Sky broadcast the finish of Llewellyn-Sprott the for rest I read a couple of diffrent reports. Sprott just caved in after some heavy shots.

I don't think Wayne was one to listen to good advice, maybe a trust issue, he always seemed to think he knew best. I had a brief chat before the Kenna fight and it was obvious he was taking Colin for granted.
