If Burton beats Agogo next Friday then he has to be automatic choice.

you would think so it be a great hatrick wins over Aston , Perkins and Ogogo to win the title again , But they will still pick the repton boxer Frank Buglioni who has not won a ABA title i dont think he has ever gotten out of the London area Finals i may be wrong.
But to Have 2009 ABA Champion not selected for funding podium or development is a joke , the kid has just beaten Ryan Aston a funded boxer and last weekend beat 2 time ABA Champ and world Bronze medalist Neil Perkins in the Semis , He Now meets Junior world champion Anthony Ogogo in the final win or lose he should be seen as kid that should be on funding. Aston, Garvey, Perkins , Burton , Ogogo all entered the ABAS to see who was the best . Buglioni never how can he warrant Podium funding when he wont get in the mix.

It is obviously a conspiracy.In all the years i have watched the ams,this sort of thing has gone on.Along with ridiculous decisions on every single show i have ever attended.The last one i went to,a kid got a standing count against the home fighter when it was him who threw the punch!

Wow - thats is amazing. Tells you all you need to know about the ABAE and their favouritism for certain clubs in certain parts of the country. Sometimes - you think you are imagining it and you have a persecution complex but then you read the above paragraph and just hope that sport England pulls the plug on amateur boxing in this country because it is now getting ridiculous, and it was ridiculous enough as it was anyway.
