Huge amount of upsetting
decisions took place during another of the best boxing shows
promoted by Victoria's elite promoters Brian Amatruda and
Barry Michael.
The matchmaking was excellent
but the results were very unexpected.

Tiger Tim Bell amazes by
beating Daniel "porky" Lovett and huge odds by winning
OPBF and PABA Light Heavyweight titles last night at Docklands
Central Pier
This was a huge thrilling fight and YVB
expect it to be listed as the fight of the year.
Right up until the end of the fight
Lovett was expected to get on top of Bell and take the titles
home but this was not to be.
Daniel kept getting on top of Bell's
attacks by countering with fantastically accurate combinations
that seemed to bring the fight to its end but Tim just kept
coming back in the following rounds.
From the first bell Tim put in place the
kind of attacks that kept wearing Lovett away until his
trainer most sensibly threw the towel in, porky was furious at
this move as he gallantly wanted the fight to continue due to
his huge heart.
Jim Slatter's decision was well timed as
the loved by fans Daniel Lovett has certainly figured by now.
Keith Ellis dubbed the trainer of the
century certainly put his critics back in seats by preparing
Tim which looked a treat in fitness despite at times looking
like he was fading, he just kept coming back with fantastic
recovery, possibly due to his hunger in getting what he
wanted.
Tim Bell is a deserving champion and has
certainly had his family problems to trouble him in the past
so here is one for Timmy:
