Stephen Reynolds. What is he up to? I havent heard shit since his debut.
I manage the big fella. It aint easy managing a lad that’s older that you, especially with his international amateur experience but we’ve built him a following, he is 2-0 at the moment and hopefully will be fighting for a title of some sort before the end of the year.HomicideHenry wrote:Stephen Reynolds.

Yeah he is a Cruiserweight but would do HW if the fight was right.Deano s wrote:heavyweight I thought he was smaller than that ?
He was top drawer, fought in the 2001 world championships when he was ranked #1 in Boxing News' ranking above David Haye at the time and won 5 Irish Senior titles and his brother Alan won 7. The Irish heavyweight title sat in their house for over ten years.HomicideHenry wrote:As an amateur the guy was something special, that's for sure. I wish him all the luck in the world, the odds are somewhat against him because of his late pro turn, but at the same token the cruiserweight/heavyweight division are the only divisions where age doesn't necessarily matter as much as it does in the lower weights.
I've sent u a pm, but u have not got back to me. I would like to intervew you and Stephen on my radio show program in the next two weeks, if it can be managed.slapbangwhallop wrote:He was top drawer, fought in the 2001 world championships when he was ranked #1 in Boxing News' ranking above David Haye at the time and won 5 Irish Senior titles and his brother Alan won 7.

I hosted an Irish amateur team boxing team that box in Baltimore back in '00. Both Reynolds brothers were on the team. Did his crazy brother Alan ever turn pro? They both could fight. Tell them Jim says hello. I was also a US ref/judge at the Belfast world championships. They'll know who I am.slapbangwhallop wrote:He was top drawer, fought in the 2001 world championships when he was ranked #1 in Boxing News' ranking above David Haye at the time and won 5 Irish Senior titles and his brother Alan won 7.

Who would you fancy as a right fight ? Colin kenna ? Would he fight any of the Brits ? Butlin or Dallas ?slapbangwhallop wrote:Yeah he is a Cruiserweight but would do HW if the fight was right.Deano s wrote:heavyweight I thought he was smaller than that ?
