Sure will.
Got a right rollicking off his trainer and then went back to what he does best.
He knew he shouldn’t have got hit how many times he did as he should have boxed from the off.
Suppose he may have wanted put on a real show especially when he had his biggest following ever....

Mate of mine Dan Hewitt has just had confirmation that he’ll be interviewing the legendary Thomas ‘hitman’ Hearns.
My favourite boxer of all time.

So proud of him because now he can grieve and come back stronger.
Got to work more behind that fantastic jab he has as that frustrates opponents and once that frustration boils over - then, BANG.
Got lighting quick hand speed which coupled with his great jab hopefully he’ll continue up the ladder.

Close rounds but Nathan was given it by 2 rounds. Not biased or anything but it was deserved.
Toe to toe stuff at times.
Just popped round with his belt, spoke with him for a while and hes a little mad with himself for taking the shots that he did because he got away at times from his boxing skills. His trainer told him to start boxing again and that’s what he then did.
He knew that after his original opponent Ryan Aston had pulled out that Tom Stokes was always going to be a tougher opponent and so it proved.
In the latter rounds of the fight his extra fitness told, mind you though must help that he teaches nutrition etc etc at college.
Hoping to get a tv slot with a shot at the British title in October against ‘did say his name but it escapes me’. Says the lad in question is a real tough nut and he knows it’ll be a tough one and will need to be on his game. Says he’s fought him before and feels he’s capable of beating him.
No doubt no easy contests from here on in.
He can now properly grieve after losing his dad suddenly the day before he was informed he’ll be fighting for the midlands title. Threw himself into preparation for that fight and I think he can now only improve after he’s gone through the grieving process.
Unsure if it was yourself who said that Tom Stokes was a tough lad and if it was then so it proved.
Edit - No doubt it be on YouTube soon.
Just a shameless plug for on the box a boxing show which Nathan’s best mate Dan Hewitt hosts in which he’s built up a decent show and who’ll be ringside commentating on world title fight in a couple of weeks.
Luke Caci was also on the bill last night too a stablemate of Nathan’s ‘different weight division’ whose got a promising future ahead of him.
Edit - not fought him as such but sparred with him.
