Of the many hundreds of bouts I've covered from ringside, Hunter v Pickering was the most intense atmosphere of the lot.

Good luck in retirement, Tear Up

Good luck, Michael. I hope the next stage of your life is even better than the last.

As the man himself says, he's got nothing to prove. Can look back with pride on a great career and be content with his family. Good on him.

He also had the best unofficial nickname of the lot:

'The Scourge of Hartlepool Bouncers'

Go easy, Mick

Good luck Mick, I always enjoyed your no nonsense style in there.

See here for the Rocky Dean fight: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBh7BzTCxZ4 The finish (around 3 mins on the video) is a peach.

Are you still fighting Sean? Sooooo much better than your record suggests (if the record included a column for how much notice you had or how many hours you grafted at work on the day, it would explain a lot).

Setanta. When it folded here, he continued with them in Ireland.

Great fighter. Great person. Great memories. Hartlepool won't see his likes again...

Yes I've renewed my licence this season and back down to around 9st, had a shoulder injury last year but all sorted now can't wait to get back now!!! Thanks for compliment I suppose you're right I'm a working boxer like most of them.
