At the Robin Park Centre in Lancashire, Jamie Moore (31-3, 22 KOs) stopped Michelle Piccirillo (50-5-1, 29 KOs) in the third round to become the first Salford boxer in 99-years to capture a European title. [details]

Good win for Moore but chances are hes still gonna be over-looked

[jollystomper]

great win for the most unlucky,overlooked fighter in brit boxing!
his fight with macklin was 1 of the best ive ever seen!
even tho piccarillo was old, it was still a great performance!!
he could win a world title if given the chance!

i grew up in scotland(english born!) but these manc boys can really fight!

ps as a rangers fan i appologies for the behaviour of our fans!!

He blew Piccirillo out like he was nothing...broke his ribs. Piccirillo is not 'world champ material' but hes a good experienced fighter, bit old, but not that old. Put Moore against Forrest, the guy can definately put him in trouble and get a strap.

ah great i predicted a ko win for him

Fair play to jamie moore, he really did the business in style, couldn't happen to a nicer guy. surely now he won't get over looked, and get a crack at a world title, he really deserves it. why shouldn't he get his chance? when you look at some of the guys that didn't deserve a world title shot. well i guess thats boxing politics for you. you would think frank moloney should surely be able to get him a title shot now, after all he does enough talking, step up to the plate frank and give him his chance. On a quick note well done darren sutherland keep up the good work. up the boy in green.

I feel really bad for Moore.

He really could capture a world-title. Unlike the likes of Lockett and Jennings he is capable at world-class.

Him and Macklin are my favourite Brit domestic fighters, as has been said, that was a brilliant fight. They are both very capable. Moore more so.
