I know John very well, even to this day. He always used to refer to you and Andy as the big hitters!!! It was the Gemini you were in, wasn't it?
yes mate i was with gemini and still train there of a morning time i wouldnt say andy was a big hitter though lol i was and still am i like to think any ways i stopped about 18 or 19 of 36 anature bouts and knock out a lot of older men than men when i was a kid so thats why he says iam a big hitter lol

Who was your trainer, John Rice? He trained John and he speaks very highly of him.

yes iam still with john hes great been with him since i was 11 iam in agony right now cause of him he realy put me through it today

There was some good lads at the Gemini, the Vlasmans, the Burns, John, yourself. There is probably loads of other I have omitted, the old memory is not as good as it used to be. There was a good lad called Lee Edele, I think it was. Have you ever trained at Frannie Hand's gym in Oak Street, I know John still goes there occassionally. We both used to go years ago.

Tony,

Best of luck with your comeback. You seem to have the right idea with 2 or 3 warm up fights (mind you they are harder to find nowdays) and then get yourself back in the Champioship level.

Regards

Bristol Boys

Jamie, ask you dad if he remembers Sid Smith

Posted: **13 Apr 2005, 12:27**

He often recalls their fights. He said they were tough. Never got to see them unfortunately don't think they are on tape either.

UK fight of the year I think...yeah and never on tv. Don't think even Eric Guy was on hand to film.

Wouldnt someone like Jason Collins or Howard Clarke be a decent fight for you returning

Posted: **14 Apr 2005, 13:17**

Good call, dve3333.

I would opt for Clarke first though if I was Dodson's manager, Collins next (or even the third comeback fight).

Have to say, I'm firmly behind Carl Froch (after all it wasn't Carl who pulled out three times) but realy respect Tony for coming on and fielding so many questions.

Posted: **16 May 2005, 08:23**

Has a fight been scheduled for Tony yet?

Posted: **16 May 2005, 11:21**

Think he was sheduled to fight in the Liverpool bill on Friday, but had to pull out. Not sure why, might have been an injury

Posted: **16 May 2005, 15:11**

Dodson seems like a decent fella. Maybe he should fight a rematch with that Pierre Moreno guy?
