Greaves impressed with rookie pro McGee

CARL Greaves was delighted with the response to his show at a new venue, the Magnus School, in Newark.

He feared that he would make a big loss, but the event attracted a big 'walk up' on the night.

"It was a good show and the atmosphere was brilliant," said Greaves. "Hopefully, I will be going back there next year."

Greaves was also happy with the debut of Mansfield youngster Kieran McGee.

But he is disappointed that Hucknall's Nathan Capeness never showed to complete his medicals.

"It has left me out of pocket and I am not happy," said Greaves.

"In future I'm going to concentrate on kids who really want to fight, like Adam Kettleborough.

"Considering he only had two amateur fights, he is starting to look like a seasoned pro already. I have high hopes for him."

Greaves revealed that Melton heavyweight Paul Butlin broke his hand in his fight with plucky Preston cruiser Paul Morris.

Morris came in at two-days notice to replace Hastings Rasani, who apparently failed a brain scan.

"When Paul got back to the changing room and took his glove off, his hand swelled up and we had to send him to hospital," said Greaves.

Greaves is hoping to land a Midlands area title fight for International Masters super-middleweight champion Ryan Clark, who stopped Jamie Boness in just 69 seconds.

"Ryan has won his last three fights by stoppage," said Greaves.

"But we are not getting carried away. He has suddenly found a punch from somewhere, but he still has a 62-5-53-4 record which doesn't look good, does it?

"But, if he wins the Midlands title, he will be in line for something big."

Another option would be English champion Rocky Fielding.

Shepshed's Louis Norman has his third pro fight tomorrow.

He takes on at Brett Fidoe, at the Hermitage Leisure Centre, in Whitwick.

Long Eaton's Leon Mvrik (3-1-1-) tackles Belper super-middleweight Gordon Watson.
