UK amateur scene

[margaret thatcher]

The am section here gets not much discussion, so posting here

I've been out of the am loop for a while. Looking at records and some vid, am I right in thinking Pat McCormack is the UK's top am?

Who are the other standouts?

McGrail.

[knockout]

Yeah, Pat McCormack, Peter McGrail , Ben Whittaker and Frazer Clarke could all medal at Olympics with a good draw.

Remember seeing Fraser Clarke vs Joyce a couple years back in good little fight.

As I recall Clarke looked the better boxer but Joyce was able to wear him down.

Pretty sure he used to work security at sky shows back then too.

Peter “Scouse Lomachenko” McGrail will be brilliant, and make a very good pro I reckon. Maybe even the best from Liverpool.

I like both Pat and Luke MAC, the way they both swap between a classic amateur style going forward then flip out a very convincing Philly shell is impressive.

Was very keen on Olympics this year, just another COVID casualty. Had a load of names from WSB and World Champs at Russia I wanted to watch.

Pat Mccormack, and Peter McGrail are the two stand outs. They are A Level talents that could win Gold

I'd say Niall Farrell is the next best he is excellent( same weight as McGrail though so won't be going to the Olympics)

& Loads more good talent like Luke Mccormack, Frazer Clarke, Callum French.

In 2014, I was a coach for the US team at the tournament in Tampere, Finland. In the finals, Frazer Clarke easily beat US boxer Cam Awesome. I was impressed with Clarke. He has a future in pro boxing.
