Dexter’s Thoughts
,
This was a very good night of boxing at Walsall Town hall which is quickly becoming one of my favorite venues for watching boxing at. All the home boxers looked good and it was a clean swipe for the home corner. Big congrats to Manny Zaber for getting back to wining ways and looking good doing it, also well done to Lauren Johnson on her first win as a pro on he debut. Boxers that caught my eye where Summers and Paddock who looked really sharp, but Kyle Williams really caught my eye with some great shot selections and speed. There has been talk of Williams looking to fight for a title soon and if he does his opponent should be Brad Foster who won his 5 pro fight in February. This would make a great fight against 2 local lad and would have to be for a challenge belt or area title. The Birmingham boxing column would like to thank Black Country boxing for having us at there show
