REVIEW ON DRAGON BOXING, PROSPECT WATCH.

Starting off at Bowler's in Manchester on Friday night, Rick Godding (now 15-0, 2 KO's) secured just his second career stoppage with an impressive looking 4th round TKO of Dee Mitchell. The Bolton man came in at biggest weight of his career, but probably needed to put some pounds on to deal with his light middleweight opponent. Mitchell had only been stopped once before this, which was way back in July 2007, and it was due to an injury, not any sustained punishment. The ambition has gone out of Mitchell, but the likes of Tom Doran, Erick Ochieng, Kris Carslaw and a very good German called Jack Culcay have all had to go the distance with him. Godding seems to be coming on very well at the moment, and this is a really impressive win on his record.

I rate him but anyone else see the fight? Im thinking maybe time for Rick to step up a little?
He's on the Brian Rose show at Blackpool 31st March.

Very good boxer in my opinion. Tryin to box smart and clever. Some lack of power though, but very good skilled and have brains. I also haven't seen his last fight vs Dee Mitchell - really wanna find a vid of it. The fact that Godding stopped fearless, very experienced and seasoned, very durable brawler and agressor like Mitchell makes a sence. Looks like a statement.

Sorry for the off-topic, Curtis, but may be you know or sparred with Lee Edwards from Sheffield. He is inactive for a two years i believe. Was boxing in a light middle/middle division.

About subject: If Godding will fight on March 31th in Blackpool wanna see him vs guys from this list:Jeff Thomas, Scott Miller, Femi Fehintola, Gavin Tait, Jack Perry, Peter McDonagh, Nathan Graham, Glenn Foot, Ronnie Heffron, Michael Lomax, Craig Watson, John O'Donnell, Nathan Weise, Martin Welsh, Paul Burns, Scott Woolford, Liam Smith, Marcus Portman, Kris Carslaw, Robert Lloyd Taylor, Steve O'Meara.

Dont you know why he is not an active boxer now?

It seems to me like for Godding is pretty suitable to be in a lightmiddle division.

he works away on the riggs and earns a decent crust doing that but hes in and out of the gym so dont rule out a comeback
