It was a hard day at the office for Blackpool light middleweight Brian Rose, this past Saturday night at Blackpool Tower. Forcing a draw against tough fighter Manocha ‘Manoo’ Salari - it wasn’t the result Rose would have liked in front of his home-crowd. But, with his birthday the day before and a holiday abroad booked for the day after - it’s no wonder Rose was a little less focussed.

Rose’s trainer Bobby Rimmer, told SaddoBoxing last night “Brian was distraught after the fight”. He also agreed that Rose was dazed at the end of round two, but maybe that was the ‘kick’ he needed because the second half of the contest saw Rose dig in to pull-back the closing rounds.

Now, Rimmer believes that only positive will come from the fight.

There wasn’t the same drama when it came to young, hot welterweight prospect Jack Arnfield. 18 year old Arnfield secured a points win over Liverpool's David Kirk. “He did great and he’s a nice lad aswell,” enthused Rimmer. “We’re looking forward to Jack's next fight in Colne at the end of March and of course, Michael Gomez is fighting on the March 29. Michael has settled down now, he’s a lot more relaxed since his defeat to Johanneson and is working well in the gym.”

Former British Super Feather Champion Gomez faces Scotland's Lee McAllister for the WBU Lightweight title in Aberdeen on the 29 March.
