"I DON'T know his name but I am told he is 5ft 10in tall and a flash git so I'll have to get into him and smash his ribs,'' says the tactically astute and immensely likeable Steve Saville.

A British Masters International title is at stake and the "unknown" is Brendan Ingle product John Bagley, who can expect to be hit "like a ton of bricks".

His clash against Baz Carey, from Coventry, for the Midlands title is one of the nominations in the category.

And what a terrific scrap it was from both lads. Saville's sheer guts and determination earned a sensational stoppage win in the seventh.

The award nominations are: Best New Boxer - Frankie Gavin, Jamie Ball, Scott Evans.

Best Supporting Boxer - Jason Nesbitt, Sid Razak, Delroy Spencer.

Services To Boxing - To be announced on the night.

Boxer From The Past - Former British light-heavyweight champion Tony Wilson. It will be good to see Tony again. From Wolverhampton, he operated from 1985 beating Blaine Logsdon in 1987 to win the British title in Cardiff with a TKO in the sixth. He defended it twice.

But he may well be best remembered for the night his mum jumped into the ring at the Guild Hall in Southampton and battered his opponent Steve McCarthy around the head with her shoe.

Best Fight - Steve Saville v Baz Carey, Chris Edwards v Usman Ahmed, Amir Unsworth v Gavin Deacon.

Best Boxer - Don Broadhurst, Carl Froch, Matthew Macklin.

Brummie Broadhurst had a great year winning the Commonwealth title and defending it superbly twice.

A certain winner under normal circumstances but Froch won the world super-middleweight title and defended it dramatically.

And it doesn't get any better than that. So I am sure the Nottingham Cobra will get the vote with Macklin in third place despite a fantastic performance to win the British middleweight title against fellow Brummie Wayne Elcock.
