Darren Barker might be a Chelsea fan but if Wayne Elcock’s trainer is to be believed then he’s definitely not the special one.

Last night at the Colosseum in Watford, England, welterweight Tom Glover's unexpected run through the UK standings came to an end, halted forcefully by Commonwealth champion John O'Donnell.

After seeing off the quartet of Jon Thaxton, Nadeem Siddique, Chas Symonds and Scott Woolford over the last ten months, Glover just couldn't compete against the much sharper O'Donnell.

Using his five inch height advantage to perfection, the six foot tall O'Donnell kept the oncoming Glover at the perfect distance, dissecting the aggressive striver with a two-fisted scalpel.

Try as he might to get O'Donnell into the trenches, Glover simply couldn't cut off the ring and was hammered by the precise Londoner.

After handing out a punishing lesson for five rounds, O'Donnell forced a stoppage at 2:43 of the sixth. More...

The Colosseum in Watford, England sees two good bouts this evening as Commonwealth welter king John O'Donnell defends against dangerous Tom Glover and welters Peter McDonagh and Lee Purdy rematch for the vacant Southern Area crown.

Glover and O'Donnell have had careers that contrast sharply, with O'Donnell spending four and a half years under heavy protection while Glover earned his stripes the hard way.

Aside from the mis-step of putting O'Donnell, 21-1 (9), in with heavy-handed Mexican light middle journeyman Christian Solano two years ago, the strategy paid off as the lanky southpaw posted a split decision over Craig Watson in April to take the Commonwealth strap.

Glover, 9-5-3 (0), learned on the job, losing to the likes of more experienced foes Nadeem Siddique, Gareth Couch and Tristan Davies. More...

Brendan Ingle may be one of boxing’s most feted trainers but for many of the young boxers he’s put through his hands, the Sheffield based Dubliner has played a dual role of social worker and boxing trainer.

Despite an involvement in the sport that stretches back almost 60 years and has included guiding the likes of Naseem Hamed, Junior Witter, Johnny Nelson and Herol Graham to the top of the sport, the veteran trainer is still producing feel good stories from the famous Wincobank gym in the Steel City.

Confident McIntosh jumps over the top rope and in to the ring, striding over to Cleverly before being stopped by referee Howard Foster.

Obviously very ‘fired-up’, McIntosh goads "Clev" from his corner position until trainer Brendan Ingle steps in front of him to keep him back. More...

The Big Brother house was nothing compared to that.” More...
