He had a fairly short amateur career by all accounts but did he win anything as an amateur? I know some of you fella's on here stay up to the date a lot better than I do with the amateur scene so yeah was just wondering?

I remeber watchin bob in the novice aba s I'm sure he won them

I know he got beat in the under 20 final by a mate of mine Marco Stephenson who is now pro

Won the 2006 Senior Novices (Class A) light-heavyweight title, beating Liam Daly of Kingsthorpe Boys (Northampton) 7-6 and was outpointed the following year by Marco Stephenson of Luton Shamrock in the Senior Novices (Class B) light-heavyweight final.

Im not gonna lie, my knowledge of the amateur set up is appalling! Can you explain to me the Class A, etc. Id imagine Class A would be better? If so if he won the senior novices in Class A then why the next year would be competing in the Class B finals? As I said my knowledge of the amateur set up is terrible! Cheers.

Class a is under 10 bouts

Class b is under 20 bouts

Then it's open Abas

Ah ok. Thanks for explaining!

My good friend Graham Fearn won the class b's in 98.
