North Boxing Show St Marys College

I don't think there is a more relieved person on the planet than me at this moment ,our show on Thursday 5th June was a roaring success ,it is the first time in 4 years that i have been able to put one together ,and i must say i thought was going to crack up trying to make matches ,but it all came together on the night .I would like to thank Jamie Mellor Transport ABC who was a real help and all the other clubs some who travelled a long way to make this show possible,and as i have said to you all ,if i can help you out in the future don't hesitate to ask .
We had a mixed bag of results out of the seven lads who boxed for us ,first up was Paul Dickman who was up against Jack Flatly from Newbury ABC ,Paul didn't do him self any justice and knows he can do better than he did and lost to a fitter lad on this night ,Mick Christie never boxed as his opponent was to heavy ,which was a big let down for the lad who has trained as hard as he ever has for this bout . Mick [spud ] Murphy was astonishing he had a return bout with Dom Mcnally from Sefton Abc Dom beat Mick 3 weeks ago on their show ,and this inspired Mick to fight like we have never seen him ,hence the thunderous right hand that stopped his opponent in the second minute of the first round well done kid .Connor Brennan what can i say KEEP your hands UP for the millionth time Conner boxed the head of his opponent Ryan Roberts from Shotton ABC but kept dropping his hands and getting caught with hay makers ,he was put on his arse in the first round which you think would be a wake up call but no, he goes out and does the same in the second ,he boxes the kids head of with some lovely jabbing and moving,then bang a shot from no where and there he is on his arse again KEEP YOU F-------- HANDS UP.
Cano what a turn around i have never seen any one ,wanting to prove me wrong as he did ,he looked like a totally different person in that ring compared to the last time he boxed ,he bossed the contest from start to finish ,controlling the fight from the middle , gone was all the twirls and bouncing round ,and in its place we saw great footwork, ring control, timing , aggression the lot .
Chris was beaten by this kid Danny Wells from Runcorn last month and has 1 contest in between which he won ,so he was determined to keep this winning streak going and he did ,also he received the Len Buchanan boxer of the night trophy which he deserved.
Mick Rigby had hard lines in a contest where their was more holding and brawling than boxing it could have gone any way but as it happened his opponent got the decision.
Our heavy weight big Rick was beaten by his nose again { get it sorted Rick] in a contest of 2 big men ,it turned into a slug fest with both lads standing toe to toe ,and hitting each other with bombs ,credit must be payed to both lads on their fitness . Both of them had to have the doctor check them out because of nose bleeds ,Neil Smiths seemed to not be as bad as Rickys ,but both finished the first round covered in claret . At the start of the second round they went at it again with Ricky getting the better of things ,he hit Smith with a left hook to the body which near snapped him in half ,he went on the run after this with Ricky stalking him and catching him with vicious shots to head and body it was only a matter of time before this kid was knocked out or the ref stopped it ,but guess what the ref in his wisdom decided that Ricky was bleeding to much and making a mess of the canvass or something and called a halt to the bout ,hard luck Rick AGAIN.
Last but not least was the weird but wonderful Loupy Mick boxed Ryan Sutton from Preston a lad he boxed and beat last year in the Golden Belt Championships and beat,Ryan got on his front foot from the bell ,but found it hard to get pass loupy's long reach Mike dominated the fight from the middle of the ring and found the going easy as he started show boating with his Ali shuffles and bolas punches ,he went on to win the contest easy .
I would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate Karl Tierney Junior on making his England debut against Wales at Everton Park 7/6/08 he had a very hard contest against a very experienced Simon Mcdonagh who was as tough as they come, but he could not match Karl's boxing skills and lost 9-5 well done Karl .
Well that's our season over now ,i hope that i have kept you informed about our little club ,we are having a break for a few weeks now ,but if any thing pops up of interest i will let you know ,again well done to the lads who boxed this season remember win or lose you are all stars see you soon
