Kid thunder

[Tilt A Whirl]

First off I have to apologise because my spelling and grammer was terrible in the last post lol....and second to say that although I ripped on you rev in that last post I actually meant to and forgot to put that even though I thought he fought badly and had Allllllllllllooooooooooooootttttttttttttt to work on I actually thought he won the fight out of sheer grit,higher work rate and the fact that he was alot more aggressive,so yeah I thought he should of won the fight!
But Rev to say that he fought like a boxer is unbelievable...he fought like a street fighter plain and simple.Now I understand that he has six kids like you said to me in a private message and that he works at a wal mart so cant afford not to be fighting.....and I understand that coming from someone who struggles constantly with money and finding enough to eat as well as pay the bills and do my bands.But there are basic things that should of been worked on before that fight...how long were you working with him before this fight??
And what do you mean by how boxing operates in the states

You should have seen him before I got him,even he'll admit it looked like a bar room brawl,and there was no way the fight was going 2 let alone 4 rounds.
In the states there are all kinds of low end fights,where they'll just grab anyone on the pro-level. That was Andrew's career before I got him. He's improved even more since the McClure fight,so he'll do better next time.American promoters dont give a rats ass about you,he'd been in 16 Pro fights before anybody even bothered to train him. If I could just get him to have some faith in his uppercut,and not cocking back on his hooks,Id feel better.
I know what he needs to improve on,and Im working on it.

Paul you dont think theres not low end fighting circuits in England.....theres alot and just as much shit in europe let alone England as there is in America...ive experienced it myself!
Just off the top off my head theres matchroom who just use there fighters to pad up other peoples careers!
I would worry about his upper cuts at the moment he need to be throwing the punches hes already using properly plus holding his hands higher,chin down and moving his feet properly!
I do wish him the best of luck though...and Id be interested to see a video of his next fight!
When is his next fight??

Hasnt been booked yet,but it might be sometime soon at the Blue Horizon.
Its a worry of mine because Andrew is comfortable swarming an opponent,to do that,I really need him cutting loose that uppercut more often.
We had this discussion the other night along the lines of "Jesus I wish Id started with you before youd just gotten tossed in the ring 16 times"
He's a good guy,he needs the cash,and it would be so much easier to book him if his record didnt look like a train wreck.
I literally looked at the tape on the Dumas fight,and said to myself,"You know for somebody who hasnt been trained he has decent hand speed,even though he's throwing everything wrong,and you cant keep him down,so thats heart,and you cant teach that" then I talked to him,decided I liked him as a person,and took him on.
Im actually really proud of how much he's grown as both a person and a boxer,and in his understanding of how the buiz works. Andrew has come a long way,we know we still have alot of travel on that path,but its getting there,and progress beats the hell out of quitting,or accepting shit while you try to convince yourself its pudding.
