My younger brother just messaged me and said used to go to school with this lad and says how sound he is.
He’s also just forwarded me the face off and those two things alone will mean I’m tuning in tomorrow. I hope he teaches that mouthy sod a lesson!

G’won Levi!!!

Yes Levi, walking onto the weigh-in to the tune of Up The Mariners, good luck lad!



His opponent looks a right sharp object

Just seen that push by Gomez, that’s totally unacceptable and I’d imagine he’ll lose a few fans due to doing that, he’s suppose to be a professional, the bad talk and behaviour like this is exactly why I never entered the professional game.

Levi reacted very professionally and I hope he smashes Gomez. He’s too big for his boots is that Gomez

Levi on points


Grimsby and proud!

It was totally unprofessional and he should be losing a chunk of his purse for it. Levi could have been injured and unable to fight - I cannot stand these sorts of shenanigans. No need whatsoever and shows a lack of class.
There’s a lesson for Levi in it too. I’m sure he’ll be more guarded in the future.

disgraceful behavior by Gomez and puts boxing in a bad light. Worse was the commentators reaction to it IMO - they should have been calling it out and the dangers of it rather than just saying "that's to be expected with Gomez"

That type of behavior should never be accepted in a professional sport.

I suspect Gomez will come out like a bull in a china shop and go for an early KO - hopefully Levi can navigate that and beat him on points or via late stoppage

I’m glad an official complaint has been raised by Levi’s manager and that it’s to be looked at at by the British Boxing Board of Control.
An absolute sharp object!
Is Levi taking plenty of support to get behind him?

I can't stand boxing but saw the push, what a helmet. Hope Levi wins.
What times it likely to start?

35:05 minutes in for anyone interested.



When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

I think Levi will be feeling hard done by, I think he won a close fight.
I would like to see the punches landed stats because Gomez threw a missed many shots, Levi was by far the classier fighter showing food skill, Gomez was just tough pushing Levi on the back foot every round but without dominating, the judges probably took his forward aggression into account.

I’ve just watched the highlights and it looked very close, Levi did very well and looked very comfortable at that level, his time will come, the experience he’ll have gained from that bout will carry him forward, I’ve no doubt in my mind that Levi will be a champion in the very near future (at least English champion) he put on a great show and matched him, it’s just a shame the decision didn’t go Levi’s way, I’m sure he’ll kick on and try again, he did excellent and put Grimsby on the map.

Well done Levi you did Grimsby proud. Professional throughout


Grimsby and proud!
