Castillo Dispenses With the Niceties

Posted in Boxing, British Boxing, Ricky Hatton, Sports on June 11, 2007 | 1 Comment »

So far the promotion of the Ricky Hatton – Jose Luis Castillo bout on the 23rd has been a well-mannered, even tempered, respectful love-in as the two fighters seek to demonstrate their respect for each other. Both are blue-collar professionals with humility and class so in truth, cheap smack talk would be a surprise. However, Castillo today [...]

Gammar Scores Comprehensive Victory

Posted in Boxing, British Boxing, Fight Reports, Sports on June 11, 2007 | Leave a Comment »

Tough Welsh heavyweight Scott Gammar got his career back on the rails over the weekend overpowering busy trier Paul King, a late-replacement for a replacement, to score a six round points win. Predictable enough result and a performance designed purely to add a W to the record of the former British champion following his defeat to [...]
