First time I've seen Johnny fight - he is a bit of a naughty boy.

I don't think I pulled too many antics, the first jab I caught was v heavy. I knew from that I had a hard nite . Watched it on sky & to be honest at the time I was double pissed with myself but looking at it again , there weren't too much I could do. Just too big & strong . I went out on my shield & on my feet . Lots have done worse

Nice to meet you Johnny, you're a nice guy and put a good effort in (which is all I ever expect from someone). Shame I had a meal to dash off to otherwise I'd have loved to have had a pint or two with you mate.

Thanks orb! That's the first real slap I've had . Easy to say now but just too far from my weight class. That said , brad was good & also a top bloke . Even the jabs felt heavy . The board are now going to have a look but that wad a one off. Hope skeete does well . All the people knocking frank w are wrong too . As a man the guy is more than ok. Not only has he paid my bills. He is more than ok as a man .

Snap, my mate who came with was all up for a drink-up at first then started going 'im tired/hungry', he's me best mate so I couldn't tell him to piss off, but in truth I was looking forward to meeting a couple of people. Next time I'll leave the sourpuss at home lol!

That was a very hard nights work for you - from the first bell it was clear that Skeet was too big for you and you did well to get through a few rounds and put up a show. Good effort and another example of why journeymen like you fully deserve an opportunity such as Prizefighter - The Journeymen.
