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 .
