Strange sport this boxing lark , last week i was singing the praises of young Spud Murphy ,saying how he boxed like a star , and then just 1 week later he boxes again and turned into 1 pace charlie .I don't know if he was tired or what , but he let a kid he would normally beat with out breaking sweat , beat him on points , the kid was a bit taller than Spud and had a reasonable jab but that was all he had , and Spud for some reason could not get close to him to score any telling shots and him being the home boy got the decision and good luck to him for it.
Mick Rigby also boxed on this bill and i must say to you coaches at Deva ABC you should be bloody ashamed of yourselves pulling a stroke like you did with this kid , there are no excuses for what you did , i thought that that those sort of stunts were in the past, and the way your traveller friends behaved was a total disgrace and you know as well as we do that it was pure restraint on our lads behalf that there was no kick off . So Mark i will not be sending any more lads to box on your show while you or your coaches entertain scum bags like them .
Any way folks now that is off my chest , the season is coming to close ,its shit to finish on a bum note but it had to be said, so lads keep ticking over and i will see you soon

Mixed Fortunes
Good news first , Spud boxed like a star on Friday at Long Lanes show last Friday , he gave their club boxer Kev Smith a lesson in the art of boxing ,as he bobbed and weaved and hit his opponent at will as he went on to win every round with his best performance up to now . Mick Rigby should have boxed on the same bill but the kid came in half a stone over the weight so that was the end of that which was really disappointing after all the hard work he has done with Ste Mathews to get ready for this fight but never to mind because we have got both of the Micks boxing again tonight in Chester on the Deva show Rigby will be facing a tough traveling fighter in Dan McDonagh , and spud will be boxing Dave Melia from the same club , the way the lads are buzzing at the moment ,it should be a good night for them.
Now the not so good news Karl T boxed in the semi finals of the junior ABAs on Sunday gone as i explained last week his training for this contest was not as good as it should have been which Karl now realises , and as i said he was boxing one hell of a big lad , well he turned out bigger and better than we expected ,due to his lack of experience on record , but the kid could box and bang the whole 6ft 6in of him . It was 2-2 after the first round ,but it was plain to see that the kid was to strong and to heavy for Karl ,even though Karl was the better boxer his punches had little impact on big Fraser who just relentlessly came forward throwing bombs ,one Land flush putting Karl down for the first time in a long time , Karl took the count but was a little shaken , as the fight resumed Karl again was doing the better boxing but again Fraser landed with one of his 20 stone bombs, this time popping Karl's nose ,the bout was stopped while we cleaned him up , when the bout started again Fraser let rip with a barrage of accurate straight shots which were landing and rocking Karl to the core , i decide that Karl for all his skills would not put a dent in this giant of a kid ,and also i cant recall him ever being hit as hard so withdrew him , as the saying goes better a shot to early than a shot to late if you know what i mean . So Karl get the weight of get back to heavy weight and clean up the division like you know you can .

Karl Ts Semi + Mick Rigby +Mick Murphy
Young Karl Tierney will be boxing in the semi finals of the EABAs Junior finals this weekend over in Scunthorp , and it should be a very good day of boxing ,as most of the best up and coming talent in the country will be on show there . Karl's training has not gone to well as he has had problems with his knee and has hardly done any road work or any running of any sort for this comp ,so will have to rely on his boxing skills to get him through or maybe even look for a stoppage if possible. His opponent is a big brute of a lad from Burton ABC called Fraser Clark who weighs in at a whopping 126 kgs ,and if this kid is fit at this weight ,well Karl will have to pull out all the stops so good luck to him and i will let you know how he got on .
Mick Rigby and Spud Murphy are boxing this Friday on the Long lane show at the Adelphi Hotel, Rigby is boxing a kid called Rob Drew from the Phoenix Gym Warrington and spud is boxing one of the long lane kids ,named Ken Smith both seem like good bouts an i am looking forward to watching them box as they have both slogged there guts out with Steve Mathews , running up and down the hills in Everton plus sparring round after round to prepare themselves and get as prepared as they can be so good luck to these two as well , and we will let you know next week how they got on.

Rickis Weekend
What a weekend Ricki has had ,on Friday he boxed in the qtr finals of the Senior ABAs in Sheffield against Sean Denham from Aycliffe ABC and stopped him in the second round ,considering he hasn't boxed for 7-8 months because of nose problems , it was a great performance as Ricki dominated from the bell putting his opponent under pressure and keeping him on his back foot .Ricki dropped him with a body shot at the end of the first round just as the bell went , Sean got up and was well enough to start the second round , it started the same as the 1st with Sean on his back foot working well with his jab until Ricki managed to pin him to the ropes with some wicked shots to the body which again dropped the lad ,again he took the 8 count and seemed like he had recovered until again Ricki let rip with hooks to head and body , this was more than Sean could handle and he went to the canvas again which resulted in the ref calling it off the same time as his corner threw in the towel.
Ricki had to box again on Saturday against Chris Keane from Walsall Pleck ABC who was a former National Junior Champion ,from the first bell they both went at like a pair off bulls just trying to smash each other to pulp ,half way through the round the inevitable happened Ricki's nose went, the doctor had a good look at it and wanted to stop it we convinced him that Ricki's nose had been previously broken and he would be OK ,he let the fight continue and Ricki finished the first round 4-7 down which wasn't to bad .Going into the second Ricki started to stalk Keane but was not getting his shots off fat enough and was getting caught on the way in ,again the ref stopped to wipe blood of Ricki's face but when they resumed boxing it kicked of again and the contest was stopped which on reflection was a correct decision and we had no arguments with that .
So well done Ricki not many people get to the semis of a National comp so be proud of yourself [ but get that nose sorted out ] and may i wish Chris Keane all the best in the next round

Long Time No Speak
Hello Folks
Nice to speak to you again ,i know its been a while but in reality we have had a very quite period and haven't had to much to write about, there has not been many shows for our lads to attend , plus boxers having sabbaticals for what ever reason .
Any way things have picked up a bit gym is full again and things are looking Rosie , Karl boxed at the weekend up in Barrow in the qtr finals of the Junior ABA's and had an easy victory over Aamer Bashir ( unfortunate name ) , who got bashed 12 - 0 ,it was Karl's first contest in 6 months and he boxed very well considering .He has bye in the next round so wont box again till 16 May will keep you informed .
This Friday May 1st Ricki is boxing at the English institute of sport in Sheffield in the qtr finals of the senior ABAs ,Ric hasn't boxed since the semis of the novice abas where he had to retire with badly bleeding nose ,which he has since had it cortorized so with any luck we should not have the same problem again .He is boxing Sean Denham from Aycliffe Boxing club who has a lot of experience ,so he really needs to be on his game , if he performs as well as he has trained he should be coming away with a victory , because for the last month he has put in more graft than any one in the club ( except me ).
We have also over the last 3 months been training teachers and their associates who have volunteered to box each other for charity,- Newfield School and Marie Dalglish cancer appeal , this will be taking place on the 16th May at the Holiday Inn Liverpool town centre .
There have been 22 candidates in all and considering these lads 3 months ago had never had a pair of boxing gloves on or done our sort of training , they have in such a short time come on a bomb and are starting to look the part, this is one night i am really looking forward to .The lads are from Holy Family , St Michael's , Chesterfield High , Sacred Heart, Newfield and Holy Family, and the way they have been sparring there will be a lot of pride at stake ,even though there is no winner announced on the night as they are all champions i am sure at the end of the night the biggest question will be ,do you think i won !.
