MICHAEL 'THE LOOK' LOMAX... anyone rate him?

Seen him fight live and he looked to have pretty good skills, definitely well above your usual british fighters who engage in sloppy 4 and 6 rd cuff-fests. Doesnt knock anybody out but moves slick and outpoints people.

A lot of inactivity, anyone know his story? Have any of his fights been televised? Seemed to have a lot of local support at York Hall.

He washes cars for a living and was run over by someone I believe - that led to an injury leave of absences from the ring if I remember rightly??

Before that he boxed my mate Steve Brumant and once he tasted his power he got on his bike and didnt want to know.

Dont reckon he will go far to be fair.

He took out bigger Terry Adams in one-round - not bad form. But Billy Smith said he was decent but had no power in his gloves, didnt like being hit and could be bullied back.

Billy did lose -so some sour grapes!

Didnt see the fight but Terry said he came flying out of the corner wrecklessly and got tagged whilst trying to steam in - could be something of an aberration that one!

Only seen Lomax 2 or 3 times and never thought he looked like he had power to be honest.

Doesn't he cut up as well?

Tez flying out of the corner? Never!

He likes a fight does Adams... and a drink.

He terrorises doormen up town - he can certainly go a bit!

Lomax had a bit of a life and death draw with Silence Saheed on the Bami undercard if i am correct? Neat skills but doubt he will amount to much.

Tom- thats the fight i was ringside for- Billy Smith. That Smith looked very useful, bit of a hardnut, i was amazed to later find out his record was something like 8-45. Smiths description actually sounds pretty accurate of the fight as i recall it.

Lomax knocked Smith down with a jab but it was only an off-balance knockdown.

Dont think he'll go world class, but ive seen less talanted britihs fighters get European shots- see Steve Bendall.
