TYRONE NURSE – Started the weekend off well for the 7 VIP boxers who all went on to follow with wins. Tyrone started his pro debut in a confident way forcing the fight with Kristian Laight from the start and picking out some neat body shots which seemed to be hurting, but they were not enough to stop the experienced and durable opponent who fiddled his way to a points loss.

GARY SYKES – Punched the tough Peter Allen from pillar to post but could not do enough to get a stoppage , but looked classy trying and moved to 8 – 0.

MIKE GOMEZ – A great display of controlled aggression saw Mike win every round and come out of a fight unmarked for the first time in many years against war horse Baz Carey. Mike looked like his old self rolling , slipping and throwing great combinations that were missing in his last few performances – he will be back.

VIP COLNE SHOW RESULTS FROM SUNDAY 30TH MARCH

JACK ARNFIELD – The 18 year old has moved swiftly to 5-0 and had a great learning experience with Billy Smith who stepped in for big brother Ernie and put a brave and gritty display in. Jack used his reach well but Billy worked his way in many times for a slug fest that the crowd appreciated.

SHAUN HORSFALL – Back after 4 years out and had a cracking contest with the returning Jimmy Beech that saw them both have success, the extra fitness of the home fighter paid off and he pulled away over the last few rounds for a comfortable win.

STUART McFADYEN - Got back to winning ways after loosing his last contest, by going over old ground with a points win over Abdhul Mgurhabel. The fight was entertaining with both contestants pushing forward looking for the win.

TOMMY McDONAGH – Was a little rusty after a 9 month break and lost the early rounds against Yasine El Machi who flew from the traps throwing punches from all angles. Tommy took the majority on the gloves and when eased in the fight started picking nice a few shots out himself and turned the contest around for a well deserved victory.

THE VIP SUPERSTARS CONTEST IS STILL ON AT ROBIN PARK ARENA THIS SUNDAY AND SPECTATORS ARE WELCOME FREE OF CHARGE – FULL DETAILS OF EVENTS AND COMPETITORS WILL BE POSTED LATER IN THE WEEK – IT IS SURE TO BE GOOD FUN[/b]

Also Peter Dunn won a good close 4 rounder with Paul Royston. Its good to see two hard working fighters (they each fight about once every two weeks) with limted wins on their records matched against each other- a close contest, and I think its always nice to see boxers get a win- especially in Peter Dunns case- his first in about 50 fights!

Whicker ,

Did you go to the show ??? . Hope you did as it was much better than the previous one you had a pop at and the fights were how we like to match our kids up.

It was also nice to get Peter Dunne a win . We have 25 fighters at VIP and due to various reasons could not match any of our kids up , so we made a contest to get a win for 2 tryers who help out shows all the time.

Think that shows you how hard it is to match fighters these days and therefore sometimes you have take what you would not normaly do.

I found the show very entertaining, every bout was competitive and enjoyable to watch, no mismatches. All bouts went the distance and there wasnt one bout which i found boring. Particulary enjoyed jack arnfield and billy smith, jack was boxing well at long range but just loved to tear it up wit him which included some great exchanges.

Yeah, I like that sort of fight- I wasn't being sarcastic.

The reason I like that sort of fight is that its well matched.

The other bouts were generally good, Yasine El Machi probably being the pick of the opponents, he seems very keen.
