Welcome to the first post of 2020 and what we hope will be another good year for boxing.Firstly many thanks to Thomas who had taken over the DVDs site and is currently making a few changes on the outlay,he is also running a 50 per cent sale on all career sets at the moment so it's well worth a visit with rare footage of Sam Langford and many others so if you've ever wondered what Marvelous MArvin Hagler looked like with hair it's all available on the site.Many thanks for all your support and all the best for the new year

Hopefully everyone is looking forward to this weekends big fight as Campell collides with Loma,sadly i dont feel as though Luke has enough to do the job as Loma is a special kind of fighter.I recollect having a conversation over the Salido fight in only his second pro-fight,i personaly felt it was a good choice so early in his career as a much heralded amateur Loma was always going to be under close scrutiny the advantages of the Salido fight were he was fighting a long time established fighter who hopefully was enough on the downside to get the result salido would have been a good name on Lomas record in only his 2nd fight,the disadvantage was that maybe salido had enough left in the tank to win,Although Salido got the result i felt Loma done enough to win but salido certainly made it interesting enough to bully a win which is exactly what salido did.my reckoning was when Loma started as a pro like all pro boxers he was beginning on a learning curve,taking Salido was a big risk but even though he lost its the lessons he learnt from the fight that are important he was roughed up,bullied and subjected to a few dubious tactics,now he is fully prepared for those tactics and style of fight inn the future,imagine Loma going on a winning streak of 30 fights then losing to salidoll the detractors would have had a field day saying he was overrated etc,for me was a good choice of fight and a calculated that never payed off but its the lessons learnt that are invaluable to Lomas career,a lot of Lomas detractors of Loma referred to Salido as a journeyman,he was a two time wbo featherweight,ibf featherweight and wbo inter- rim champion plus faced many of the all time modern greats not a bad resumee for a journeyman,anyway we all know Lukes gona put it on the line of luck to him and hope everyone has a great weekend

Congratulations to Kell Brook on a fantastic showing against G.G.G,personally watching the fight i felt the towel coming in was a bit premature but after following the sport for so long also switchd on enough to know if towel was thrown in the corner certainly knew something wasnt right especially such a top and experienced cornerman as Domonic,hopefully Special K will return to full health soon and forget excuses i think its time Khan and Kell finally got it on,i understood Amirs argument for a while that Kell needed to step up in opponentsthink it was fair to say that as soon as he beat Porter he was entitled to feel he had now earnt the right to be considered a top level fighter so i dont think theres any need for anymore excuses from Amir especially after both put on such strong showings against bigger and stronger men,sadly Kells moment was spoilt by the tasteless and classless remarks from Eubank Jnr who initaially called out Golovkin then put so many obstacles in the way team G.G.G. had to go for Brook,Jnr should realise in a fight vs ggg he is only the b-side so if you want the fight bad enough sign the damn contract the whole thing was just an attention seeking stunt from team eubank so personally id like to see ggg tear him apart as it may make him a little bit humbler the remarks were disgusting considering the outcome of the Nick Blackwell fight a fight in which i thought jnr had propelled himself up into a higher level with a flawless performance,sadly the fact a fellow pro and gutsy fighter had his career ended in the fight you would have thought jnr would have grown up a bit and realised the dangers of the sport obviously not very tasteless and no class what so ever.
Soon on the site we will also have a few fights from the futue of Womens boxing Heather "The Heat" Hardy how shes not in the top ten ring ratings we dont know if your into Womens boxing this is a lady to certainly keep your eye on hopefully by time end of career comes she will be right up there with the christy martins,mia st johns,jane couch and the big name lady boxers whose impact stretches out into the realms of hardened male boxing fans certainly being on the undercard of the highly talented Spence Jnr wipeout over Bundu in a grudge match can propel her more into the wider eye especially as the report of the fight vs Vincent in boxing news considered most of the fans that night had come to see that bout over the Spence Jnr one
