A young THIN Porkypara in action from 1992!

Maybe one of the amateur fighters can explain to me why the ref warned the guy in red (I hope that's you Porky ) twice in the first round? Was if for landing with the wrong part of the gloves?

Yes that is me in the red and I was warned for hitting with the wrong part of the glove.(calzaghe style)

It is a lot stricter in amateur boxing than in the pros.For examle the corner men are not alowed to shout out advice during the round.

That's what I thought. I didn't know that about the corners though.

You gave that poor bastard a good beating.

There are quiet a few rules thaat are different in the amateur game.


This is what a lot of novice amature boxing matches are like.Who can swing the hardest.

If I had been against a half decent boxer I would have been picked apart.

LUCKY FOR ME I WAS'NT!!!!!!!!!

Well, yeah, you weren't exactly Pernell Whitaker defensively or anything, but I though you looked fine considering it was your 2nd fight.

Swinging for the fence like that, you must have been in pretty good shape, I definitely would have troubles keeping up a pace like that haymaker after haymaker. How did your amateur career end up?
