Is it gonna be the current scene only or are you gonna do anything about the old fighters as well? As you know Liverpool is steeped in boxing history.

[PaddyD1983]

Jabjab, I'm sure you wouldnt be short of offers of people to write for the site as well.

I'm more than happy to put some pieces together if you want and I'm pretty sure anyone else on here with any knowledge of the area would do the same.

[neil hibbert]

yep count me in!!

[jabjab]

Before he signed with Maloney the other week, I'd have said David Price! ;)

In all seriousness, I think the 'Where are they now' feature is a good idea. Maybe a joint Holligan-Neary one to go with a Nark in the Park article?

I know Neary is running the Shamrock gym in Old Swan these days, so it'd be good to hear what he's gotta say about the lads he's training now etc...

Great puncher. He won his ABA title for Rotunda, as you say, but must have left them prior to going pro. I once saw Joey, Ray and George Gilbody on a Liverpool to London train, suited up, making the long journey to Moscow for the 1980 Olympics.
Joey was a bit unlucky not to win a medal.

i thought frost would have medalled at moscow,last i heard he was acting a bit punchy,poor sod.

[bennie]

I remember Terry Marsh beating Joey in the 1980 ABAs but the Olympic selectors wanted a box-off between the two for the welterweight spot in Moscow. Marsh refused and Joey got the trip.
Joey claimed he had had bad hands when losing to Marsh.

Yes, he's alright, I last saw him a couple of months ago. I'm living in Spain and I can't get back as much as i'd like.

The Liverpool Echo done a great book last year. It was on the Boxing Venues of Liverpool. Got a copy of it for Christmas - love it.

[brown bomber]

Two of the best lads I ever boxed were from scouseland. Steven Mathews and Seve Harkin who turned pro recently. Both good lads. Mathews was/is a class boxer I mentioned him to Steve Wood a while back but not heard anything from him for a while. Someone needs to get him in a gym and fighting he was a frightening talent and could have gone all the way. I'd be interested in seeing what he's doing now.

Looking forward to the site getting launched mate.

[hit me HARDER]

I'd expect Dodson to do well in a Prizefighter format. Hopefully get the loser of Smith/Quigley in there too.

[PaddyD1983]

So, Pricey makes his long awaited return tonight.

Anyone seen his opponent (either as pro or am), Liridon Memishi?

Scheduled for 6 but hopefully it wont go that far and we get another highlight reel KO from the big man. Anyone going to watch it? I was planning to, but unfortunately I couldnt get the day off work so I'll be hitting the Cornmarket at 10 bells to watch Friday Fight Night.

Scouse boxing has got an exciting three weeks ahead of it with Pricey tonight and next week, Davies fighting Napa and then the big one in the arena. Exciting stuff!

[Axl_Nose]

Hey how did i miss this thread .. Plenty of my Scouse brothers on here. This is Axl from Hunts Cross, which for anybody outside Liverpool is considered 'The Jewel in Merseyside's Crown' ....

The only thing you have going for you is that you have the only Royal Bank of Scotland in the city open on a Saturday ;)

[PaddyD1983]

Pricey got another stoppage on Friday. Good times. He must be able to bang, because I didnt think he had the German in that much trouble really. Ah well, decent performance after six months out. Hoping for a cracking performance from him next week in Bolton.

Big money fight in about 12 months I reckon with Fury. Our big man would wipe the floor with him!!

I'm watching it at home, but I know a few people that are heading to Riley's (the snooker bar) in town to watch it in there. Not sure how many pubs/clubs across the city will have it on though.
