After his defeat to Danny Williams, Scott Gammer has vowed to win back the British heavyweight title.
He said:
“I don’t know what went wrong, I know my fitness was good but I just felt drained from the first round,
“I’ll be back in the gym within a week, then I’ll fight as soon as possible.
“It was my first defeat and a big one, but I’ll be back stronger. I’m going to get the belt back and there’s no shadow of a doubt that I want a rematch.”
Danny Williams knocked out Gammer in the 9th round of their fight on Friday night.
I don’t think that Gammer is at all likely to get a rematch with Danny Williams. The fact is that Danny is contemplating retirement and even if he does continue his boxing career, he will want to face better opponents than Scott Gammer. If Williams does decide to continue his career in boxing, it will be to fight for either world titles or big names or big money fights.
Scott Gammer is not an option for Danny Williams.
“Scott boxed a lot better than I anticipated,” said Williams, whose record moves to 37-6 (30 KOs) after the win at the Cwrt Herbert Sports Centre in Neath.
“I thought that he was a come-forward fighter with no boxing skills, but he threw good combinations.
“In the eighth I could see him getting excited at the shots he was throwing, but I knew I would get him in the next round because of the effort he was putting in without hurting me.
“The local crowd was encouraging him and making him throw more, but I just covered up and showed my experience.
“He has to improve on what he does and come back - I’m sure he can win the British title again.”
Gammer’s promoter Paul Boyce has said that he made a mistake in taking the Danny Williams fight, turning down a bigger-money match with Audley Harrison in London.
“I got it wrong and I take responsibility,” said Boyce.
“Looking at Danny and the way he fluctuates in form I thought the time was right to take him.
“But he just looked so good, he stunned us all.”
Perhaps now Gammer could fight Harrison?
It would be a good match, as neither of them are very good….
What do you think?
