Beat Napa in only his 12th fight

gary corcoran looked very good to me in only his first pro outing, he beat billy smith 40-36 over 4 rounds but looked very strong, in great shape and good variety of punches, not many beat billy smith as comfatable as he did. good start but there will be plenty of harder fights along the road, only time will tell how good he will be, but defently one to keep an eye on

martin ward going the top mr power he has everythink i watch him most nights gives me the buzz like he great attitude towadrs fightin any of them at the top

Anyone know what the story is with John O'Donnell ?

There hasnt been much about him since his last fight and I belive he still has a lot to offer and could stil win a British title if he fought on.

Seems to me to be a confidence fighter. Following his first paid defeat in 2007, he was out of the ring for a fair while. Maybe self-doubt creeps in?

Anyone know if the 91+ lad that won the GB Champs is a traveller, his name is Joe Joyce and he looks huge and it looks like has a decent Dig on him .

He apparently is a bit of a novice but looks like he has potential .

Everyone in the boxing world knows a traveller boxer who was brilliant as a amateur but just couldnt live the life as a pro.
I've seen both of Alfie's fights and think he will go very far. Really good body puncher.
