well done to him in winning the British Masters Belt at Welter with a 6th round stoppage on away soil over previously undefeated Rob Hunt!

Also a rob hunt that had beaten and dropped him every round a few fights before well done Ben

My bad that was meant to say won every round and dropped him once sorry ben

Rob dropped him once in the 5th in their previous fight. Well done Ben.

Ben went into that fight on a bad run with no confidence we had just over 2 weeks notice so want hes done is amazing really. What i did notice was how hard he was hitting on the pads warming up he went out there and put rob down 3 times and to be honest there was no one more shocked than me. Well done ben you did me proud.

Aye, report here:

It was Rob's first real fight at welterweight and he was caught out, but you have to acknowledge the amazing turnaround achieved by Lawler.

shame for Rob.

Hopefully Harrison v Hunt will happen at some stage, that would be a good local derby, Stafford V Wolverhampton.

Shame for Rob, he's suffered some bad injuries, was a big prospect at one stage. Fair play to Lawler though, love his attitude, just wants to fight.

Harrison Vs Hunt? Not so many years ago I'd have thought both could of got to British title level, if (as expected) Dean loses to Gavin be hard to see where else he can go.

Wheres Russ Colley, is he still going, he looked quite tidy not heard of him for a bit?

what planet are u lot on?

whats your problem?

Its nice for people to have a little word here n there for small hall boxing such as in the black country as appose to the usual smith, bellew talk we get all the time. no offense to them lads like

Not heard anything off Russ Colley, presume he's knocked it on the head.

Agreed Bleaky.

We should set up a Birmingham/Black Country section ha

Planet YAM, that's the planet we're on.

In other local boxer-related matters, The Lyndsey Scragg/Erin McGowan fight from Australia the other month is a good 'un if you can get to see it. One-sided, but a good scrap.

how did our girl Lyndsey get on? I used to love watching her. jab like her left hand's made of concrete, 'go to the body Lyndz' brilliant

Jabbing was sadly not an option, by dint of the fact that Erin was about 8 feet tall and firing off an evil-looking jab of her own.

Judges had it 100-90, 99-92, and 98-92. I hate to say it but I couldn't have given Lyndsey a single round, myself. A couple or three might have been 10-10.

She showed some guts, though, stayed in it right to the end.

(Edit: 99-92, not 99-91).

:(

what planet we on?

Black Country boxing, so what if he aint got all the "in crowd" or any of the "in crowd" we still have enjoyable shows at the civic on a sunday afternoon. Hope Errol keeps em going

So thanks for your in put!

It'd still be interesting to know what this Chris11's precise objection was.

Ah dont worry about it,chris is as mad as a bag of ferrets online but a realy nice guy in person
