There is more chance of Frank Spencer competing in a pro boxing ring than Frank Bruno
-
I wouldnt say i know him particularly well he,s only a kid 21/22 i knew his brother Mark well from years back he just missed out on a British title...or uncle/cousin was it i forget now they are a big travelling family he,s a good boxer though Tom and he,s in good hands so as you say hopefully he,ll do well.....he made the same cardinal sin i made as an amateur by going from West Ham to Repton it was a hanging offence years ago but they seem to get away with it now. He was a good fighter Paul and will have the same education of the game i had....its the same as anything folk whos educati

Im pretty sure in the side roads around Waterloo theres no restrictions after 1pm on a saturday and none at all on a sunday so you could park for free just as long as you can find a space.......i cant remember who it is now but theres a black cabbie on here he,ll be able to tell you.
-
I wouldnt say sponsor is the right word Peter....i know how hard it is to be a young pro people tend to think its a glamourous life where you train,fight then have an interview before driving home in a flash car but the reality is the life of a young fighter is a terribly lonely existence full of worry and doubt.....most pros still have to do a day job as they simply dont earn enough when they first come into the pro game but still have all the expenses of travel/diet/time off work etc....can any young fighter really dedicate themself in the right way when he,s doing 8 - 5 in a sausage factory
-
Stone me is it comic relief day again already !
-
Those 4 names combined probably have over 50 years of professional experience between them.....Joshua has 2 ! Its easy to get carried away judging fighters.
-
west mersea and yeah its opposite the victory pub which also does a nice bit of food Thats it there used to be a load of sheds there i remember.......im told theres now one called The Blue Oyster bar .......which doesnt sound good to me !
-
Having had bulldogs years ago ive never seen another breed run a mill with the same intensity.... i realise ive probably never been around the calibre of lurchers some of you lads have but they always look a bit half hearted running them to me.....we would always use an electric mill for maintenance work and a free running slat mill for conditioning i would imagine an electric mill would be fine to keep a lurcher ticking over but to get them in top shape you would want him out in the field surely ?
-
I dont argue with folk Pete its just the way i talk we all see things different and thats ok....i live a leisurely life these days plenty of time to kill and im a bit of a chatterbox so can end up spending hours talking to folk in gyms and we never have a crossed word its only when i get on here and natter to people who have probably never been in a gym let alone in a ring that the shit starts to fly but thats how it is some people get their boxing education from having a can of lager in one hand and a book in the other,when they get really frantic and need 2 hands to type they just rest the
-
Is this in East or West Mersea ? if its West is it opposite a pub called The Victory ?...stretching the memory bank now but i used to knock a little bird off who lived there over by the caravan site it was quite a nice place from what i remember ....havent been there in over 20 years but it didnt seem the sort of place that would change very much. Nice looking bit of grub anyway.
-
My brother was the talk of our estate when he had an accident and had to have a load of stitches down his face that resulted in a 4 inch action man scar.....he wore it with such pride !......we used to fight over the 1 action man we had he would do silly things like create battle scenes using the carpet sweeper as a tank whereas i would tie the handles of a carrier bag to his arms and hurl him off the balcony 10 floors up ( the action man that is )........then make our sister go and get it,funny days.
-
It could be anything surely ?.....until its full grown it would just be pure guesswork it could look completely different in a years time.
-
What a good honest scrap that was it was a shame he missed the count as he now has a stoppage on his record as opposed to a decision loss but it was a very entertaining fight fought in great spirit between friends which itself is not an easy thing to do.......real good night of boxing all the local lads had good displays it will be a great boxing venue over the coming years. Yeah, I understand that bit. My question is why? Age is irrelevant its experience that counts.......like any new pro it takes a while to get rid of the amateur traits.......new pros dont do hard sparring any
-
That sounds very gay .......... oi its a well used saying round here......anyway i keep getting told i need to work on my feminine side but im finding it a fine line between gentle and camp......i suppose i could always have a nice pretty Cheryl Cole tattoo on my hand that will do the trick
-
Likewise sir ive clocked a few of your posts and dont know if you are an old name returning or a new name adding your thoughts but we seem to park our cars in the same garage as they say.
-
I totally agree....its one of the reasons im not a big fan of amateur boxing.....the ultimate prize in an amateur sport with no financial reward is huge earning potential !.... how can that be right. Personally i lose a bit of interest in fighters when they become too popular as they start to focus as much on their image as their fighting ability.......tomorrow night is the type of cracking little show i like,some good hungry local lads out of local gyms at a nice local venue just out chasing their dreams. Skysports 2 from 7.30pm.....John Ryder.....Tommy Martin/Johnny Hibbert should be
-
For a young lad who apparently doesnt know anything about boxing you have called that a lot better than most of the people on here trying to pull him up on his technique without having the nous to realise that when emotion comes into a fighters mindset technique go,s out the window......good for you young chap. Joshua fought a very good fight in stages against a very capable fighter who was unbeaten....he had a scare and came through it to knock the guy out....thats all great......the big mistake he made which he has to make sure he never allows himself to do again is fight off of emotion.
-
There you go an attempt at humour can be good sometimes........little bit goofy that the only reason i know it was humour is because your saying i am right.....being as how if i said that green was made from blue and yellow ol Trig would take the opposite stance and say it was made of yellow and blue just to disagree with me .....but its a start.
-
Have a sesne of humour Trig for f**k sake im sure he did it on purpose for a laugh......i know your desperately trying to get yourself a nice team Fury t - shirt but you can still show your pearly whites and have a giggle from time to time !
-
I been taking properly to you its you have failed to talk intelenigty and pure ignorance Please tell me you did that on purpose
-
There you go Brookie it took all of 5 minutes to find........call me a liar again and i,ll find the side splittingly funny " stand well back " comment as well The combination of your bad memory and theatrics not only make you look a c**t they prove you to be a bullshitter as well !
-
So lets have this right you call me a liar when i have just proved truth......and then end up calling me names......well what a surprise. Do you really think its that difficult to see through you ?......plenty of people not just myself have asked you perfectly straight forward questions that you read and then run away from preferring to call folk names.....if thats not a snide and a tosser i dont know what is......i end up saying the same thing to you every time....dont make big statements and then run away from them when called on to back them up you are the type of rebel who doesnt want
-
Always a great trainer Frank i doubt he has gone more than a week since childhood without training.......got him through some darker times as well its lovely to see him smiling again.
-
Splayed feet is probably the correct terminology.....Kirkland didnt do things by halves though he would tell people that one foot pointed east the other pointed west
-
Ol for crying out loud are you another one of these temperamental types who cant have a discussion without thinking they are being attacked.....do you go down your local dry cleaners all tooled up " just incase " !..........its just a natter about boxing pal dont get excited. Ive said for years an Olympic medal in the amateurs is a burden in the pros as the spotlight is on you from day 1.......the plus side is instant money the negative side is instant expectation.............but at the end of the day a young prospect is just a young prospect and must be treated like one.....i brought Dean
