on the 18 september at york hall bethnal green, for the vacant british light welterweight title, the board has sanctioned this bout just today, sky sports jumped the gun and advertised it last night i'm led to believe, but the bout was signed sealed delivered today.

barry has been training hard for a while now and his diet is treating him well, he has a check weigh in on tuesday and has to be 10' 4 for this, which he will make no probs, and he's over the moon he's coming to london to bring the title home once again.

a canna wait pet .......... a just canna wait :bbb

I'm hoping Lenny gets revenge and regains the British Title...trained with him when he was at Rosehill and real nice guy and i looked up to him and his bro while i was a lad. I remember when he lost the first fight...i think this will be just as good a fight.

Their first fight was a mini classic, lots of action, lots of controversy, a rematch would be fun, thats for sure.
Morrison pulled of a fantastic upset first time around, I still remember posting my congrats to Barry here when I heard the result! Man its frightening how time flies when you are a boxing fan...

it will be a kracker dunky, baz is burstin out his skin, he's determined to put on a show due to the pull outs recently with injury and dietry problems, hell mend dawes if he has an off night, and fingers crossed dawes training for a southpaw will scuper his chances. :bbb

Maka, how is Barry doing, he has had such a run with illness and injury I just wonder if he is well enough for this fight.

Actually fancy him to win this on points if he is fully well again but don't want to part with my money if he is merely making up the numbers.

When you are going through a spell that one thing after another seems to dog you, it can be very hard to ever get back to your best.

With your insider knowledge how is he looking

howdo micky,

barry is doin really well with his new diet, looks fresh, feels fresh, and has a glow about him that he normally has when he's in tip top shape, he had a check weigh in yesterday, his weight was 10' 5 which he made no probs, and has another one scheduled for monday coming, he has to be around 10' 4 for that one, just last night he had 12 rounds of sparring with 3 different boxers at the gym, feels a little sore this mornin (as you'd expect) but feels fit and well, he's moved in to the spare room at his mums for some quiet time away from his little boy, so he can get the rest he needs between gruelling sessions.

he'll be ready and up for this one, he ca'nt afford not to be :bbb

As Ajose Olusegun had to reluctantly give up the British title due to the significant matter of facing the unbeaten Ionut Dan Ion of Romania in the WBC final eliminator with the winner (that is Ajose) to face Devon Alexander I am backing Barry "Bazza" Morrisson all the way to win the Lonsdale belt again. I just hope that he has enough time to be at his best because his style can definitely affect Dawes the way it did the last time. When Ajose is WBC champion you never know Bazza may get a world title shot against Ajose. Imagine that in Scotland, a true native born Scot against an adopted Scot.

It is certainly not a pipe dream for Morrisson to beat Daws again or for Ajose to defeat Ionut Dan Ion and then Alexander for the WBC title. Also why can Morrisson not make a world title challenge if he gets into the ratings.

I would love to see that Olu, we can but dream!

Im talking about Baz v Ajose though:D

That fight is the dream, but the reality is Ajose is edging ever closer to world title glory, & I will be cheering him all the way. Not least because your prophecy is getting closer to coming true, to coin Kevin Keegans phrase "I would just LOVE IT" if you and Ajose proved all the doubters wrong here & Ajose became world champion.

You have had to take a lot of flak here for bigging up Ajose like I used to big up Scotty Harrison back in the day(aah those were the days...) Good luck to Ajose Olusegun, & if he wins the world title? Just sit back & enjoy:smoke

Thanks Dunky. As you know we have to do it the hard way by going to Romania to beat Dan Ion in his home town.

I am really glad to see Bazza back in the mix and will be cheering for him against Daws.

What is the latest with Scot Harrisson? I must say I miss him. Physically alongside Azumah Nelson he may be the strongest Featherweight I have seen. Really physically strong lad. Sometimes it was like watching a Welterweight against Featherweights.

Also really looking forward to PBF versus Marquez two of the best.

Olusegun will become a world champion... He has the ability to compete with any of the top 140's he just needs to be given the oppotunity!!! We haven't seen the best of Olusegun yet.. He will be world champion in 2010!!

Boxer Lenny Daws reckons revenge is top of the agenda when he faces former conqueror Barry Morrison for the British light-welterweight title next Friday.
The 30-year-old lost the famous Lonsdale belt to the Scotsman by a split decision in 2007 and has been forced to wait nearly three years for a rematch.
Daws had been scheduled to fight world number five Ajose Olusegun on September 18 at Bethnal Green’s historic York Hall, but will now face Motherwell’s Morrison – the only man to beat the former Rosehill ABC fighter in his 21-bout career.
And the Carshalton-based boxer insists he is out to set the record straight.
“It has been a long way back for me. I’ve never had the chance of a rematch and two-and-a-half years is a long time to wait,” he said.
“There is no doubt I’m gunning for revenge and I want to get my old belt back.
“Since I lost the British title in January 2007, it has been very frustrating as it has taken me a long time to get back up there.
“I was fighting, and winning fights, but did not seem to be getting any closer to my goals.
“Losing to Morrison was a blip on my career and that is something I want to put right.
“I am not looking any further than next week, but this is a big chance for me and I have got to grab it with both hands.”
Daws has been in serious training for the past five weeks and has been sparring with Commonwealth welterweight champion John O’Donnell as he looks to step up his preparations for the biggest fight of his career.
A slow start cost him over 12 rounds against Morrison last time they met at Alexandra Palace, and Daws – who has good memories of York Hall having first won the British title there against Nigel Wright – is prepared to go the distance again on home turf.
“I take every fight seriously and I always work myself hard, so I am treating this fight no differently,” he added.
“Training is going really well and I am in good shape.
“I am really up for this and I think that will show on the night. It is going to feel more like home to me.
“I am prepared for 12 hard rounds and, if that is what it takes, then so be it.
“Obviously, if I could get the job done earlier than that, then great.”

thanks mandanda,

it sure is a big fight for him, and barry, it's a shame i'll not be traveling for it this time round, just do'nt have the spondoolys.
fingers crossed the judges are leniant, it's always an issue when your not the home fighter in london, when dave parris is around that is.

i'm confident barry will win it much wider this time round and even have a late stoppage (8th) :bbb

Cant wait for this fight, if only cos like buses you dont see scottish fighters on the box, then two come along at once!(Simpson, now Baz for the less enlightened amongst you)

The general consensus is that Daws has been the more active & on a winning streak compared to the comparitively inactive Morrison who has lost two recent high profile fights & therefore Daws should win on points.

HOWEVER

Although Lenny has been winning, he hasnt looked in good form recently... that workrate that had many people thinking Lenny could become a special fighter has diminished the last couple of times I have watched him if you ask me...
So theres hope for Barry Morrison, who although inactive, did beat a prime Lenny Daws.
Its a fascinating fight, & one I havent spoken about much on here cos I was sure it would be called off, it was almost to good to be true when my good man Maka broke the news here!

However, looks like its still on, & Im well up for it!

I hope Baz is too:D

Forgotten man Lenny Daws of Morden looks to get back in the limelight in a crack at the vacant British light-welterweight title against former conqueror Barry "The Bizness" Morrison at York Hall tomorrow (Friday). At one time Daws looked like one of the best prospects in the country, particularly when he forced Colin Lynes to bail out on his stool after nine rounds and lifted this same belt with a 12-round decision over Crook’s useful Nigel Wright in 2006. Morrison then burst his bubble (and took his title) on a shock 12-round split decision in an exciting affair in North London a year later and, two fights later, southpaw Wright held the ex-champion to a 10-round draw, so Londoner Lenny looked to be going backwards.
Daws is renowned for his late-round charges and those type of fighters, shipping punches in the early rounds and trading on guts and stamina to overcome their opponents, often burn out. Nevertheless, Daws had won four on the spin since the Wright draw, and picked up the English light-welterweight belt with a 10-round decision over Peter McDonagh earlier this year to secure this second crack.
To Morrison, who never built on his British title win, either, and was outscored by an in-form Lynes in his first defence before his own fans in Motherwell. Morrison is solidly built, stiff-hitting and aggressive, with a surprisingly good jab, but Lynes had the better jab. The Scot came back to challenge David Barnes for the same title (after Lynes had vacated as he was messed around by Team Gianluca Branco) and found Barnes too slick in Liverpool last year on the way to a points defeat, which is no disgrace.
This one is bound to go the full 12 rounds, given Lenny’s stamina and Barry’s durability. Neither man has been stopped and Morrison will be thinking what he can do once he can do again. His win over the then unbeaten Daws at the Ally Pally holds up as a huge one - but does lightning strike twice? I’m not sure. Daws, ironically nicknamed “Lightning”, regains the title on a hard-earned decision.
In a good-looking chief support West Ham’s Matthew Marsh defends his British super-bantamweight crown against Barnsley hope Josh “Outlaw” Wale, scheduled for 12 rounds, of course. It is defence No. 2 for the wiry and energetic Londoner, who is punching with more authority these days and must have his eye on a Lonsdale Belt outright. York Hall is also his ‘manor’.
As for his challenger, I know very little, bar what his record tells me. He was looking good early in his career but then suffered a stoppage loss to South Africa’s dangerous Harry Ramogoadi in three rounds last September and apparently looked wide open. Ramogoadi, however, has since stopped Derry Matthews and would have enjoyed natural weight on Wale, although Wale stands 5ft 7ins.
Wale went back to to the drawing board and re-emerged in the summer with a win over regular visitor Wladimir Borov. He actually stopped Borov (four rounds), who usually sticks around so must carry a bit of a dig at 8-1 (4). Trainer Dave Coldwell once told me Wale is one to watch.
This is bound to be exciting as both men tear into one another but Wale still has an inexperienced feel about him, having never done more than six rounds, and the more experienced Marsh, roared on by his fans and possessing a great engine (done 10 rounds or more five times), must be favoured to ride out a few rough spots on the way to a rough decision.

I'm bit worried Lenny is struggling with weight. I think he needs to start fast tomorrow night and get on top of Morrison and take him into deep waters. Last time he started a little slow.

I think this one could end up being a very exciting battle.

I expect Morrisson to jump on him and take it to Daws and make him quit. I like both lads and will always be grateful to Daws for making Lynes quit but from their 1st fight I know Morrissomn has the tools to win this fight hopefully he can stop him as the fight is in England not Scotland as we don't need another dodgy decision. Come on Bazza.

This will warm us up for Saturday when the great PBF returns against the great Marquez. I know Marquez is desperate to win but I feel it will be a sad night for Mexico.

I missed your post, sorry for not giving you this welcome earlier!

aah ESB's getting that scottish feeling again like it had a couple of years ago, with all of us usual suspects kicking around on these threads...

Lets just hope Barry can pull it off. Its gonna be tough though, their first fight was a mini classic:deal


Thanks Dunky:yep Good to be back! Come on the Business!!! I reckon he can do it again, I'll be sitting watching with a beer or 10. All the scots keep your fingers, toes crossed, and tell your burds to cross her flaps when your at it:hey
