just got of the phone to nigel s trainer yes fightacademy the phone again fight made should b a good fight nigel on form lookin forward to going down my mate on there ill wait till its announced til i say who it is as hasnt went to press yet

Nigel Wright is a nightmare, with notice, at the right weight he could get in with just about anyone and give them a proper argument. He can box and punch; that poor kid last time :( his manager needs sacking. Wright is no stepping stone, hope Nicki is in good nick and has a game plan or Nigel will clean up.

nigel is always in good nick mate lives for the title train s in our town under my am coach hell take some beatin mind simon

Nigel really seems to know what he is doing and looks very grounded, his legs are always under him when he punches or moves. He has got better the last few years; he is British Title material at least.

only thing he s not busy either with bad managment which i know he is with gus that he should of been champ a few years ago he happy to go the distance nigel and gettin better at that i use to think fornicate that get them out of ere and go to war might of been my down fall

I'm not that sure that the aggression and fire can be taught; some people are naturally passive (even boxers) and some are passive/aggressive and some are just out and out aggressive. Nigel seems to have the temperament to be patient, to pick the shots and box to a win. There's a craft to that but to watch it and get fans they need knowledgeable fans and neighbours. An aggressive fighter; well everyone knows what they are seeing.

You don't win ABA titles by being a pure brawler or a steamer though

Good kid Smedley, he can shock a lot of people if this happens ;)

Nicki won a junior aba title with a first round stopage and lost in his 1st ever championship in the final to Amir khan on points which was a good fight to watch,he had only 9 fights behind him wen he boxed khan,he had 86 w 80 at that time, he never went senior as he turned over

is that fight on steel city?

we are hoping it is curtis but its out of our hands and up to Dennis ,Frank maloney and nigel wrights management team, but both camps want the fight so we will just have to wait and see,

good fight if it comes off ill be watching closely

HUGE step up for Nicky but hope it happens, great fight.

Smedley is a very good kid who if he really is trainin hard can provide a shock here.

Massive respect to Smedley if he takes this fight.Wright is more or less British title standard.

We have been. Chasing fights like this for time, and when we told nicki u could see his eyes light up fights like this should bring the best out of him,nigel is a very good boxer but these are the tests we want for nicki

never seen smedley fight but i think wright is a class act and if his tempraments right i only see a wright victory

There are more than a few good, spirited boxers between journeyman class and Nigel Wright. I've only seen Nicki box once and obviously you know his talent and potential. I have seen Wright a few times though and he is a real, class and hard 10-12 round boxer. If it comes off and Nicki wins, who does he box then? he's up the top domestic level without the necessary grounding and experience. I understand it must be very frustrating to be slated for 'ticking over' and 'keep busy' bouts but getting fed up with it and throwing him in with a wolf is a risky thing to do IMO. Jamie Speight looked lost against Wright and it was man v boy and Speight is a very decent boxer at his level of experience.

I had a feeling it would come to this! You must admit though,mate its a hell of a jump from Moyo to Wright.

people are underestimating nicki hes a top class kid and could prove u all wrong and beat nigel wright

Khan certainly was not unknown.To followers of the amateurs he was sh!t hot from about 14 years old.Everyone knew about him,in the north they did anyway.
