im fighting a guy whos 5-0 september 12th

Ill be making my cruiserweight debut for this fight and I can bring some good news that I recently did some sparring with the guy who I lost to and I beat him up badly for three rounds, I don't think I got hit once either. I have taken that loss very seriously and it was the best thing that could have happened to me really. I have been training for this fight for a while now and I have heard the lad im fighting spent the weekend at creamfields...so he might think ill be a walk over. Ill be able to box a lot better in this one and it wont be a scrappy one like the last one. Hopefully ill get the win, but theres no step back at all.

I understand why I lost my last one and I felt like I put the loss to bed in a way with my performance in sparring with him, it will be a great fight anyway with this guy, ill keep you posted.

going off how I did in are sparring session last week it was an embarrassment why I lost to him. I didn't prepare well enough and that's why I lost, there was factors in that but I don't want to be David Haye. ;D But its the kick up the arse I needed and I have gone down a lot of weight since then and I am performing a lot better in training so fingers crossed all goes well for this fight. ill post a video of who im against.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjE4K16A2cw

Hes the one in the blue

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hci2iQ-teAU


Hes tall and uses his range, but he doesn't like to be pressured. If I stand off and let him get comfortable I will get picked off, I need to not let him get in a rhythm and throw combinations. Singles wont work against this guy, will be my toughest one to date but I am up for it.

I only watched a bit of the first one, I got to go. But on first sight he looses his initial speed fast and then his gloves pump up and down for no good reason as he moves,sort of tells you make him work and then when his habit kicks in, if you throw at his gloves when they are at his cheeks they'll be on the down stroke when yours land on his chin. Time him off his arms move in, catch him coming.

cheers for the advice, it makes sense. I have been sparring a lot with are champion Kev ward who is better and taller than him and as soon as I lay off the gas that's when I get picked off and if I am out of range I am easy pickings. In the videos I have watched of him everybody is head hunting as well, I need to chop down the tree and big ones over the top. I have been working on that a lot, never throwing one jab either, twos are threes to set up the work.

head movement, good luck Tam mate.

Cheers mate, yeah that's what ive been thinking. I just need to be active and make sure I don't get picked off, will be a tough one but I feel I perform better against better opposition so fingers crossed this will be my best performance to date. Its no doubt my toughest challenge.

On my birthday no less!


Let the hands go and keep that head moving Tam!

jab to the heart

Good Luck Tam

Tam, God Bless, I checked out some of your fights on YouTube. What's Showtime UK. Is it part of the show time network from the US. Anyway, you serve the cruiserweight well. What are your boxing dreams, how far would you like to go. I haven't interacted with you much but you seem level headed and passionate. Any plans to fight in the US or are you happy representing your local. Good look and post the fight.

Hi Tam,

Great to hear you're back in the saddle, nobody becomes great by quitting on a defeat. Well done on getting down to cruiserweight, god knows I could do with it but I'm not going to be a cruiser anytime soon!

Fight to the plan, outwork him and make sure there's a cold beer to celebrate in your near future. Good luck.

Its the people who put on the fights here in the north west, its nothing to do with proper showtime...that's probably where they got the name from though haha. I am always going to train in boxing I have done since I was 13 but in terms of how far I will go I have no idea, I will just have to see how it goes. I don't think I would go to the US haha I am not good enough. I will do thank you very much, hopefully it wont take too long to be made.

Cheers Rhun and I will do for sure ;D ! I hope your looking forward to getting in there yourself!!

Make him 5-1 then Tam for fucks sakes and if you're losing, don't be afraid to pull out those muay thai leg kicks! He won't know what the fuck hit him.

Tam got this. It won't be a walk in the park but Tan will have the timing figured out by the second round during which time the pummeling from Tam shall began. In the post fight interview give a big shout out to the Walrus in the USA. Good luck again.

War Tam!

I've found the most effective tactic is to pull a funny war face to distract the opponent and then hitting them while they're laughing.

Good luck mate, hope you pick up the W.

It does not matter if Tam wins or not. The fact he has got in the ring means he is a winner to all of us. :)

Note that both Andrew 'Kid Blunder' Hartley and Charlie 'Schizophrenia' Zelenoff spent time in the ring. We respect Tam because he's a fucking warrior, he's skilled, and he's got heart!


Whup that dude's ass Big Tam!

all power to Tam Seddon! He will win by 4 th round stoppage.

If you think about it, we are all winners for supporting Tam. :)

Go Tam!

It is not about winning or losing it is about the taking part that matters. :)

Well, not losing to a guy who only has experience of winning must be like a defeat for him. Good work lad, and make sure you turn him over in the rematch!
