Was he based in Liverpool and is that why you think that so many good ams dont become good pros because they get too big for their boots too early.Bomber 1 wrote:Nice guy was Matt, I had good chat with him after boxing him and he was a top fella, told me he chased the women played the game and just burnt the candle at both ends, he has a few kids one down here an one somewhere else, he liked Liverpool but there is just so many distractions in this great great city.. This is why such a tiny town produces great amateurs in the dozens but not as many pro's but I feel that's changing a little now.. I think had Ellis had got down to the 13st 8 limit in the old days he could have definitely won domestic titles at least IMO...
Good to hear about the Tiger Woods situation not reaching a billion, means you could still be in with a shot with being the first
