I'm fighting in Malta December 7th !!!
Heard this great news today and I've been given this opportunity to box abroad on a decent card which usually has semi pro and pro fights on it. I'm fighting somebody called Richard Vella, who knocked out James Higgy who I boxed last time and lost a very close points decision to. I've heard that Higgy was safely out boxing Vella until the 5th round and he got caught with a body shot and it ended him. I've heard that's Higgys weak point and they capatilised on it.
In terms of me fighting Vella, I wasn't out of my depth at all with Higgy so i think this will make it an interesting fight. It's either going to be 4 or 6 rounds, I've still not heard yet. I am also fighting at 168. I am currently 171 and have lost a stone nearly since my last fight with Higgy. I've been straight back to the gym and still have that desire to win. I felt like I should of had the decision last time but this is boxing and it doesn't always go your way.
I'll have to be on top form if I'm going to win abroad on his home show, but I'm again once again taking the challenge and pushing myself even harder in training. I'm feeling even better now that I am approaching supermiddleweight and I still have a lot of preparation time for this.
I can't wait guys it's going to be a fantastic experience for me and it will continue my drive in boxing. I could potentially have one fight in between this one but I'm not sure yet I'll keep you up to date.

Best of luck Tam, you seem to be pushing yourself hard fair play to you. He looks like he likes to intimidate opponents, and he does look strong. He doesn't believe in using a jab much, he throws loads of big heavy shots. To be fair, his head movement seems excellent.
Go out there positive mate, use plenty of movement , but match his aggression as well if you can. Give it everything mate, and enjoy the whole experience. No reason why you can't beat this guy.;D

Go Tam! Watch this guy on the breaks..seems to like to sneak and extra one in there. He also seems to love loading up on the right while pawing with the range finder. Somewhere there is a short left hook with this guys name all over it from someone who will stand their ground.
Re: I'm fighting in Malta December 7th !!!
I'll be in the shape of my life for this fight , ready for a war!!! Got a strength coach starting with me next week, it's not to gain weight but to make me stronger.

I wil make sure there is footage. Its been annoying of late with the lack of footage ive been able to provide and only the pictures. Ive been told I should have a copy of the fight I had with James Higgy next week. Ive asked a million times and don't get a reply when I ask for them footage for the fight before that. Its annoying as hell because I want to see where I need to improve and want to share my fights with you lot.

That's exactly the right thing to do mate. You've lost a lot of weight very quickly and you need to make sure you keep your strength. Good luck bud.
That's the plan mate!!Ive got a good amount of time to work with him too
Re: I'm fighting in Malta December 7th !!!
He is a good fighter, cocky and confident. You are going to have to be in the best condition of your life. You have to focus and stick to your game plan. Never hesitate and go for the victory. Give it your best shot that is all we ask and enjoy it.
Re: I'm fighting in Malta December 7th !!!
Just looked at a bit of that fight you posted. Just be consistant with your output, try to initiate and be first and just do not load up. Punches only hurt if they land so just concentrate on landing. He didnt look anything special and as long as you are relaxed and loose and let your hands go you should be fine.
Re: I'm fighting in Malta December 7th !!!
Good Luck Tam Go out there & kick ass Wish we could all be ringside to cheer you on

Literally had the same thoughts Ross. If the last guy I fought who I thought I beat outboxed him until the KO there's no reason why I don't have a chance in this fight. I can't wait and I will be in the shape of my life, I already am. This is the lightest I've ever been and I've still got so much preparation time left. I'll only get better and more motivated for this great opportunity.

You win this one and I will be very impressed.

Put it this way Master im not going to put all this time and effort to come down from 17 stone 5 pounds to 12 stone and travel to Malta to not put in 110% effort. Ill be going there every intention of winning that fight, not turning up. Ive seen his record is 11-2 but I don't know how up to date that is. Hes 3 days younger than me too haha. Ive got strength work starting this Thursday which im looking forward to starting and ill be training 5-6 times per week. 5 times full on, and the 6th day a bit lighter. Ill be more than ready for this test.
Re: I'm fighting in Malta December 7th !!!
Youll be turning pro soon! Make some cash out of it.
Im interested to know when you were over 17 stone, what weight did you think you should be, or could get down to?

ill get a picture for you off my facebook now and post it, im just on my works system at the moment so I cant go on facebook. Ive always wanted to get to 12 stone and Im nearly there, aiming to be there by the end of this week. I don't see much more point going any lower than 12 now though. I went to the doctors last week and she said I was very healthy and I had good blood pressure with a very healthy BMI for my height and weight so I was happy with that.

There's a photo of me fighting at 13 stone in my last fight I was 12.3 on Friday. I've not trained at all this weekend so will be more, just mainly be water weight though I've been dieting.
