Shame about the crowd, will take some of the shine off of Humphrey's win.
he's on a good roll at the moment, hopefully he can get a shot at a bigger title soon, I think Dann might punch a bit to hard for him , but it would be a good fight.

Great result for John Boy, he is a great guy and deserves it!!

I really expected him to KO walker and was shocked when he fell apart.... only later did i find out his grandmother passed away the eve of the fight and his father had just been diagnosed with cancer..... his head must have been spinning before he got in the ring....

Dann will be a hard fight if it happens, Scott hits very hard and JB has been stopped before.... however John can whack himself.....

I could do that when I was 13.

I didn't even know Humphrey was on the comeback. I remember seeing him fight against James Hare years ago, and I sat next to his kid brother, who was in tears when he got stopped by Hare, I think on cuts.

John Boy is certainly taking on competitive fights, Michael Monaghan, Hussain Osman and now Gokhan Kazaz.
He's not taking any easy walkover ones there. Maybe a match up with Ryan Rhodes would be a good one for him, one i'd like to watch

Yeah i think it was a cuts stoppage or a corner pull out... i think John getting down to welter must have been a nightmare... he is about 6 2"

Late starter. I was 11 (almost 12.)
