Lightweight Gavin Gwynne (17-2-1, 5 KOs) got all he could handle from previously unbeaten 47-year-old Emiliano Marsili (42-1-1, 16 KOs), but still came away with the W on Friday night at the famed York Hall in London. Gwynne was crowned EBU European lightweight champion when Marsili was unable to continue after round eight due to a shoulder injury.

Heavyweight Nathan Gorman (19-3, 13 KOs) came into the ring at the Toughsheet Community Stadium in Bolton, England, at a career high 296 pounds. He left the ring with an eight round loss to the much fitter Bohdan Myronets (8-1, 4 KOs). The referee scored it 77-76.
Gorman took a year off and, apparently, did not train AT ALL for this fight.
He took a year off and ate a whole human being. That is why he came in the ring so fat.
Entering the ring in an obese condition means that Gorman must have pretty much given up on his career.
Most of the heavyweights now days are fat slobs
47-year-old Emiliano Marsili (42-1-1, 16 KOs), had gout set in, hell I’m 55 and would have stopped either one no doubt!
Sure you would.
Gorman didn’t look athletic even in his peak condition. He can’t afford to not put the work in, and there it shows.
