Did he box amateur? seems to have had a few early defeats when learning his trade, which seems to happen to fighters with no or very little amateur fights as there learning on the job

He had around 17 amateur fights, don't think they were at a high level. So he has learnt on the job as a pro

So Williams won?... It was such an awful fight I turned it off

I saw him in the ams, he won his fight (semi finals of London aba's) with a ko. Looked tough but raw. To be fair to him, team solid was already a decent fan-base then. Thought he got a bit lucky last night though.

I think of all the terrible judges scorecards lately this was the worst, found it hard to give Williams anymore than 3 rounds. Certainly the most unworthy of champions but there won't be much of an uproar or a re-match coz Rob Norton is a stinker to watch. Doesn't make it right though.

im massively shocked :!: williams was a pretty poor boxer in the ams with only a dangerous left hook he'd telegraph.but well done to him for achieving this i never thought he'd be anymore then southern area level.
last time i saw him fight he got derailed badly by turbot is it??

Williams was the fighter the chuckle brothers wanted to win. It be Toks Owoh next.

I thought he lost comfortably last night.

Can't see there being a rematch, certainly not on telly anyway, but kinda feel for Norton not getting a Lonsdale for keeps as a result.

To be honest I don't think he'll last long as champion, a fighter with a solid workrate and decent footwork would take him.

He lost to Dickinson in Prizefighter, Rasani and stopped by Turba!

What an awful fight, sky+`d it an watched when i come in after a few pints, wish I`d stayed in the pub. Got to be the worst British title fight in quite a while. we all know tha Norton is poor to watch at the best of times, but Leon Williams was worse, he hardly threw a punch for the first 6 rounds, and I couldn`t give him a share of any of them, thought he may of won 3 or 4 of the last 6 rounds, no way he won that fight, then in the post fight interview Williams said he "put it on Norton"!!! Matty Askin should be screaming for a shot at Williams, a very undeserved British Champion in my eyes.

Turba knocked out Williams. Hasani Rasani beat him on points ffs! They planning on having him fight Owoh next.

Worst British champion I can remember.

"I put it on Norton"

LOL

Not quite the way I saw it.

As much as Norton bores me, he should still be champ.

I switched off after 4 rounds,sounds like the fight didnt get any better...

fornicating hell

Rasani can whack a bit but can't box for toffee these days.

Dickinson deserves a shot, so arguably does Turba (can he fight for the British title??)

Askin and Dickinson are the 2 best Cruisers in the country by a long way

tony conquest is improving all the time, if he gets a win over Toks Owoh next month he will putting his name in the cruiserweight mix...

Promoted by the chuckle brothers no wonder he got the win following in father footsteps of dodgy decisions!

I believe Williams knocked out Conquest in a round in the amateurs for what that's worth....I think somebody told me he'd mobved up to heavyweight now?

Not sure on the latter
