Can I take it you're a Bristol man ? Dean Francis is on the comeback now anyway and Paul Ryan went on to get knocked out himself in the 1st round a couple times.
Am indeed mate. I was so gutted when Ross got knocked out, Ryan was so beatable and as you say got starched himself pretty soon after by Andy Holigan I think? I remember one of his fights where he got buzzed by a nobody and he lashed out with his foot

Really feel sorry for Francis. OK he's back now but he missed some good years all due to being ill advised.
Paul got sparked in 1 round by Jon Thaxton and in his comeback fight the same thing happend against Holigan. Then he was blown away in two rounds by Geoff Mcreesh. Ross Hale was also blown away by Geoff Mcreesh the same night Dean Francis' shoulder gave out against Undra White . I remember cuz it was the same night Barrera got his WBO title back off Ritchie Wenton .

Deans done quite well to be ranked 3 in the country at light heavy . Woods obviously is number 1 but I think Dean can take Brian Magee whos at 2 right now. One of my favourite Bristol boys was Glen Catley . Not many go away to Germany and Canada and win by K.O . I liked Kelly Oliver too but he never really got over that shock rematch loss to John Keaton .
