ROB
NORTON THE STOURBRIDGE BOXER IS NO STRANGER TO THE COVENTRY BOXING FANS
ROB HAS TRAINED AND SPARRED AT THE OLD BAKERY IN LONGFORD MANY TIMES. IN
1999 ROB BECAME THE W.B.U. CRUISEWEIGHT CHAMPION BY BEATING JACOB MOFOKENG
POINTS OVER 12 ROUNDS IN BIRMINGHAM LATER THE SAME YEAR HE LOST THE TITLE
TO WORLD CLASS FIGHTER SEBASTION ROTHMANN, ROB THEN HAD FOUR FIGHTS WITH
FOUR WINS TAKING HIM TO THE END OF 2002 HIS NEXT FIGHT SEPTEMBER 2003 HE
WENT IN FULL OF CONFIDENCE AGAINST MARK HOBSON FOR THE VACANT BRITISH AND
COMMON-WEALTH TITLES AND I THINK ROB WOULD BE THE FIRST TO ADMIT ON THE
NIGHT HE WAS WELL AND TRULY BEATEN TO WATCH ROB SPAR HE LOOKS UNBEATABLE
BUT HIS BIGGEST DOWNFALL WAS LACK OF FIGHTS AT THE BENN HALL APRIL 9TH
ROB GOES IN AGAINST GREG SCOTT-BRIGGS GREG IS VERY EXPERIENCED AND HAS
BEEN A PRO FOR 12 YEARS WITH A RECORD WON 15 LOST 28 AND DRAWN 1 HE IS
RANKED AT 30TH IN THE U.K. HE IS A HARDIE ROUGH AND TOUGH FIGHTER
BUT SHOULD BE NO MATCH FOR THE CLASSY SOUTHPAW STYLE OF ROB NORTON ( COVENTY'S
NO 1 SON NEIL SIMPSON HAS BEATEN SCOTT- BRIGGS THREE TIMES)
CARL
WRIGHT WILL BE FIGHTING IN FRONT OF HIS HOME CROWD AND I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED
IF HE FILLED HALF THE BENN HALL ON HIS OWN CARL HAS A FANTASTIC FOLLOWING
HE IS RATED 19TH IN THE CRUISERS AND HE HAD SIX WINS AND 1 DRAW TO
HIS CREDIT CARL GOES IN AGAINST LEE MOUNTFORD WHO IS SIX YEARS OLDER
LEE HAS WON 3 LOST 2 AND DRAWN 3 HE IS 24TH IN THE CRUISERS CARL WRIGHT
IS A GOOD CLASSY FIGHTER AS HARD AS GRANITE AND GIVES HIS ALL IN EVERY
FIGHT ( THE ONLY DOWNSIDE TO MOST OF THE COVENTRY BOXERS IS THEIR INACTIVITY
SINCE KEVIN HAS BEEN ON VACATION ) IF CARL'S FITNESS IS UP TO HIS USUAL
STANDARD HE SHOULD HAVE NO TROUBLE WITH THIS ONE.
HARRY
IS CERTAINLY ONE TO WATCH THIS MAN HAS GOT CLASS WRITTEN ALL OVER HIM THE
WAY HE TRAINS AND ALTHOUGH HE HAS ONLY FOUGHT TWICE IN ENGLAND SINCE COMING
HERE FROM SOUTH AFRICA HE HAS HAD TWO GOOD WINS A POINTS WIN OVER JASON
NESBITT NOVEMBER 2003 AND THAT FANTASTIC VICTORY OVER STEPHEN OATES OCTOBER
2003 HARRY'S RECORD STANDS AT WON 12 LOST 2 AND DRAWN TWICE
HARRY'S OPPONENT IS THE HARDIE STEVE GETHIN
THE 25 YEAR OLD WHO HAILS FROM WALSALL WHO BEAT COVENTRY'S GARETH PAYNE
ON POINTS OVER 6 ROUNDS LAST OCTOBER
RICHARD
SWALLOW HAS HAD A BIT OF AN UP AND DOWN CAREER HE IS RATED AT 30 IN THE
WELTER-WEIGHT DIVISION WITH A RECORD OF WON 19 LOST 13 DRAWN 1 RICHARD
WAS OUT OF THE GAME BETWEEN 1997 AND 2002 BEFORE THIS HE WAS RATED AS A
TOP CLASS PROSPECT HIS FIRST FIGHT WHEN HE CAME BACK WAS NOVEMBER 2002
AND BY DECEMBER 2002 HE HAD A TOTAL OF 3 FIGHTS WINNING ALL OF THEM RICHARD
IS NO STRANGER TO THE COVENTRY FANS AS WE SAW HIM IN ACTION AGAINST OUR
OWN TARTAN TERROR TONY CONROY WHERE HE LOST T.K.O. ROUND FIVE FROM A BADLY
CUT EYE FROM A NASTY CLASH OF HEADS. RICHARDS LAST FIGHT FOR THE
BRITISH MASTERS AGAINST MARCUS PORTMAN SEEN HIM LOSE ON POINTS. HIS
OPPONENT AT RUGBY RICHARD INQUIETI HAS WON 8 (K.O'S 5) LOST 39 DRAWN 2
AND IS RATED WAY DOWN IN THE SEVENTIES OF THE L/MIDDLE-WEIGHT DIVISION
RICHARD LET US SEE YOU GO OUT AND WIN THIS ONE
DEAN
LLOYD GOES IN FOR HIS SECOND FIGHT AS A PRO AGAINST CHRIS STEELE THE BARNSLEY
BORN 24 YEAR OLD , STEELE WHO HAS HAD 19 BOUTS HAS ONLY 1 WIN AND 2 DRAWS
TO HIS CREDIT BUT IN ALL FAIRNESS TO THE LAD HE LOOKS LIKE HE WILL TRAVEL
ANYWHERE TO FIGHT, HE WENT IN AGAINST OUR OWN ANDY HALDER AND WAS BEATEN
ON POINTS OVER 4 ROUNDS JANUARY 2003 AT SHEFFIELD DEAN WAS A VERY GOOD
AMATEUR BEFORE HE DECIDED TO TURN PRO AND MAKE SOME MONEY HIS DEBUT WAS
A HARD BATTLE AGAINST THE EXPERIENCED PEDRO THOMPSON ALTHOUGH WELL BEATEN
ON THE NIGHT DEAN SHOWED SOME GOOD TOUCHES OF SKILL AND PUT SOME GOOD SHOTS
TOGETHER I'M SURE DEAN CAN GO ON AND GET A FEW WINS UNDER HIS BELT STARTING
WITH THIS ONE
