Re Kristian, I haven't seen him box in about 4 years. do i take it he still manages to avoid taking punishment? i mean, all boxers slip and decline as they age, is he taking much more now than he used to (he certainly never used to ship heavy punishment when i was seeing him box regularly)?
can anyone fill me in on the above question?

We've all been around a long time and seen guys who can't even throw a punch, yet medically fit, experienced boxers are getting refused because they've lost a few?
I would concur with what you say about Tijuana 1 he has boxed in the Midlands area a few times and personally I always found him to be a gentleman in and out of the ring

Moses Mtovu seems to be going strong on the scene.

I watched him box in May. He can still look after himself. I don't recall him taking too many clean shots in that one.
thanks mate

For what its worth I've seen Kris fight more times than I'd care to mention and I haven't seen any declination in his standards or performances. He 100% has his faculties as I speak to him regularly and he's also matched carefully. I'm sure the Board must have a very good reason for suspending his License.

I didn't mean to come across of having a go witj anyone just got an issue with the system. Think the licence holders should have a vote whos in charge of areas etc.

Freddie Flintoff was such a high profile figure I honestly believe he would of been licensed sat in front of any area which in my opinion was wrong. Im only guessing of course. Overall they do a good jo but could be better. Ive no intention of upsetting anyone would rather have a great discussion on all topics.

Shame if kristian license has been taken - saw him box many times - whenever I've seen him back in the dressing room there's never a mark on him

Laight looks to me as been the safest guy on the circuit. Bad record, but don't let that fool you. A master at staying safe.
