Boxing: Phillips targets Bennett knockout

Dean Phillips says he will try to take the fight out of the judges' hands when he meets Kevin Bennett.

The Llanelli man takes on Commonwealth lightweight champion Bennett in Hartlepool's Borough Hall on Friday (19 November).

"Bennett is basically a defensive fighter, and I'm not going to get any favours if it goes the distance," the 28-year-old told the South Wales Echo.

"I'll be going out to try to stop him and claim the title."

Welcome to sportz..

So i take it Dean Phillips lost?

i lost a points decision over the 12 rounds, but will definitely build on that. I have a feeling 2005 will be my year....

How the hell did you find this site then?

And was that your first title fight in 5 years?

No it was my first title fight in 10 years, and the first time i did the full 12 rounds (with a lot to spare i might add)

I dunno mate, i have never met Barry Hearn in person, he has his team running the boxing side of it. Barry Hearn only gets involved now and then.

I lost the last fight on points in his hometown, but am looking at coming back in February 2005. First 12 rounder for me so will be able to build on that.

Yeah ive seen him on the BBC a few times when someone wins a good fight lol!

Hey i've spoken with a few of the others and we've decide to do a big splash on ya starting with the interview and a community topic.

Thats if your up for it, plus we can do alot more if we come to an agreement on a few things...
