This Saturday night on the undercard of “Behind Enemy Line’s” which features the main event, Britains Derek Chisora VS American Malik Scott promoted by Frank Warren and shown live on Boxnation, British boxing fans get another chance to see super middleweight Frank Buglioni (24) 8-0 6ko’s returns to the ring vs Lithuanian Journeyman Kirill Psonko (26) 10-25-2 6ko’s in a 8 round contest.Psonko who has fought and lost respectively VS George Groves, Chris Eubank Jr & Ryan Aston. Psonko is a game guy who has only been stopped 8 times in 37 fights which is relatively durable. His young and has won 10 of 37 fights 6 by ko so on Saturday expect a decent test for the fast moving career of Frank Buglioni.

'Super Frank' does it again!

'Super' Frank Buglioni had yet another early night on Friday (September 14th) as he made light work of Joe Rea, finishing him in just two rounds.

It was a slight step up for Buglioni who has still now only had six fights but he did exactly the same to the Irishman that he did to the rest of the guys he has been fighting so far. Buglioni showed composure and just waited for the knockout to come as he was very confident that it would. He had Rea down in the first and then just dominated him in the second before the ref was forced to stop the fight.

There are still people moaning about the level of opposition that Buglioni has faced, like there is with most up and coming fighters, but what most people seem to forget is that he has only had six fights, there is no need to rush this guy. He seems to be improving every time we see him and has a bright and exciting future ahead of him. He's the type of guy he will be in exciting fights over and over again because he has a style that the fans want to see.

Boxing comes home!

Last night (April 28th) I had the privilege of being a spectator at the Royal Albert Hall for the first professional boxing show to be staged there in 13 years and I have to take my hat off to Frank Warren for putting on a fantastic show even with world champion Nathan Cleverly pulling out.

The atmosphere was amazing! Even the first few fights felt like you watching to world class fighters boxing in massive arena. Three of the eight fights ended in the first round but the five that didn't end early made up for it.

The fight of the night would have probably have to go to Matthew Hall Vs Sam Webb. It was a thrilling fight that could have easily gone either way. The decision was given to Webb but only just. The 31-year old had a large amount of support from the crowd whilst Hall's fans could hardly be heard but the former commonwealth champion managed to win over a large part of the crowd with his exciting and courageous fighting style.

Billy Joe Saunders beat Tony Hill in the main event, to become the new Commonwealth middleweight champion. 22-year old Saunders was simply too strong for Webb and managed to stop him less than a minute into the first round.

Frank Buglioni extended his unblemished record to 4-0 with a first round stoppage of his unknown Russian opponent. His loyal army of fans took over the place with their trademark chanting and dancing. It was hard to hear yourself think, the atmosphere was that intense and loud.

Other fights on the card included Bradley Saunders Vs Danny Donchev (Saunders 1st round stoppage), Bradley Skeete Vs Ross Payne (Skeete 1st round KO) and Andreas Evangelou Vs Jamie Kelly (draw).

Nathan Cleverly may not have been fighting but he was still there to support the other boxers and meet and greet with the fans. All the boxers on the card were happy to hang around after the show and take pictures with the fans.

Overall, it was a fantastic show with some great fights and I cannot wait for the next championship boxing at the Royal Albert Hall.
