might be worth posting your findings on here afterwards , letting us know whos the ones to watch potentially as far as possible olympians . Leigh wood , who i mentioned above is a lightning quick super bantamweight from nottingham but trains out of lincoln , from what im told he was going to go pro but is now holding out for the olympics , ive only saw him fight once but he looked good that time. Aint it all being organised by Todd at droitwitch abc ? , ive got him on facebook so ill ask him who he thinks are the ones to watch and post it on here .

I have heard he is a talent alright Jon.

Isn't he the kid who beat Moylette, the Irish world cadet champ?

gwan leigh mate , comfortable in the end , nottingham has got another future champ , should reach british level when he turns pro , at least , its my understanding that its aba's then olympics , then pro , all being well

You Midlands lads - what's the story with Lee Glover ?
Is this the kid that was turning pro last year with a Promo team from Coventry ?
Is it the same kid I seem to recall getting robbed in the ABA's before ?
Hope I've got the right lad.
