FIGHT FIGHT AND MORE FIGHTS

Hi Folks
Been a while i know ,been up the wall putting our show together which is more or less sorted ,in the mean time have had lads boxing all over the place with varying result's the 7th May we had Chris Cain + Mick Rigby boxing in Runcorn ,It was Canos first contest and he was a bag of nerves ,the kid he boxed was having his 3rd contest . Cano got off to a good start and was never in trouble in the 1st round ,going in to the 2nd we asked him to stand his ground more and to stand and box ,but again nerves got the better and of on his bike he went losing the round ,again for the final round we told him he was losing the fight and that he would have to go out there and knock the kid out but it wasn't to be and needlessly to say he lost but the lad done well and vowed that it would never happen again ?
Mr Rigby what can i say great performance ,he gave age experience +weight away but still gave the kid a boxing lesson winning every round well in kid.
Monday 19/5/08 we were at Sefton ABC show with young Spud Murphy who was having his 3rd contest ,leading up to the fight everything was fine a good positive warm he seemed prepared mentally ,looked like he could take on the world ,but it all fell apart after the first round .His left calf ceased up ,with nerves cramp or what we don't know but it stopped him from performing as well as he can and well as you can guess he got wellied ,but he is fighting the kid again on our show so watch this space
Next up was the Crew FC show 23 /5 /8 where we had 3 lads fighting Cano Ricki And young Mick Christy , Mick was up first against Tim Hilditch a kid with the devil in him ,the bout started with a flurry of punches some landing most missing and a lot of grabbing and holding after being warned they both tried to box first round we thought was even ,the next round Mick got on his back foot trying to counter but was falling short with his shots and getting caught waiting he lost this round going into the last he was asked to stay in the middle and box this kids head of which he was well capable of doing but again he got on his toes and like the second round he was second at the final bell he knew and we knew that he had thrown it away sort yer head out Mick
Cano the whirling dirvish ( that's an Arab dancer who spends his time spinning round },i know that as a coach you are suppose to be professional in the corner but there times when you have no control over ones emotions and folks this bout was one of them,this was Canos second bout in 3 wks ,and since his 1st one we have worked a lot on ring craft IE cutting the ring down bossing from the middle ease of movement ++++ but it may as well been break dancing lessons we had given him ,because for 3 rounds he danced spun ducked dived twirled you name it he did it come dancing had nothing on this performance ,but you know what he got the kid that dissy he actually won the bout well done son { i think ] !.
Big bad Ricki hes the man ,14stn of lean mean fighting machine ,this was the fight the crowd had been waiting for all night ,he was up against Nick Hard Hitting Harvey ,and this bout started with an explosion as they went at it from the get-go , both lads were throwing bombs and it was only a matter of time before 1 of them took a step back and that was Harvey , Ricki got his fine southpaw jab working and controlled the rest of the round which he won easily.Ricki got on his jab at the beginning of the second ,staying on the out side he totally controled the round picking Nick of at will-Nick tried to bull his way in but every time he came rushing forward Ricki would slot him with cleanest back hands and literally stop him in his tracks ,round 2 to Ricki.
The last round Ricki only had keep doing the same ,but he had other ideas ,he started of the same backing off letting Nick walk on to him then bang back hand right on the button, Nick would not take a backward step and persisted in coming in chin up guard open throwing bombs ,but he did it once to often and payed for it dearly as Ricki hit hm with the sweetest one two which put Nick flat on his back and he was never getting up ,it was one of the best performances of his career to date and things can only get better.Well done Ricki .

who needs a treble

Well folks it wasnt to be we had high hopes for the treble ,but failed ,but what the hell we have still had a great season i think 2 trophy's is enough .
To the game it was well balanced game with no one really what you would call really good chances which is why it was 0-0 at half time .
The second half Seaburn stepped it up a gear and rely forced the game , but we defended well and they never got a shot on target ,on about the 60th min Tobin had an header saved of the line and 5mins later Karl Sid was sent of ,this was the changing of the game as they ran us ragged in the middle of the park ,they fed the ball out right and the kid put in a good cross which young Hickey headed home 1-0 Seaburn.
Try as we might after that we could not find the net Deano went up front but to no avail ,and with us still trying to press Seaburn launched the ball up to their for wards who by this time had our lads treading water ,and with a simple 1--2 Bobby Berman slotted and that was that game over well done Seaburn.

Right on a happier note we had 2 of our lads boxing on Wednesday night on the Runcorn show Chris Cain who was making his debut and Mick Rigby making his 11th outing .Chris boxed a kid who had already had 2 bouts so had a little experience not you could tell as Cano bullied him for 3 rounds and at times had his guard way to low and to open resulting in him getting caught with silly shots ,part from that he put in a really spirited performance and i would not be surprised if he does not stop him on our show .
Mic Rigby came up against the Runcorn thug ,im sure he was trying slap the face of Mick as he threw shots wildly ,at times just missing the ref ,Miick as usual was as cool as a cucumber and stuck to his boxing with a nice tight defence [ for once].
The start of the second the kid came at mick again like a bull and it got a bit scrappy [ Mick you need to learn to give yourself room to work ],again Mick got back to basics and boxed the head of him for the rest of the round.
Coming out for the 3rd both lads looked done in ,bearing in mind it was like a bloody sauna in the hall,Mic soon got his jab working and moved well not letting his opponent settle ,and won on points easily well done lads 2 great fights
