December 1994
Despite his 1st round hammering in Vegas 8 months ago at the hands of Julio Malagarcia, and his recent loss to Al Botha, Johnny Jowls is off to New York next month to fight Bob Brewster. The ex-Olympic Heavyweight Champion is undefeated in twelve fights and newspaper reports over there are considering Jowls as a way to beef up the American's record further.
Of course, we'll be there to report every clinch, every punch, and every knockdown.

Milton Jowls Opening Fight
Cardiff, 8 December, 1994.
So Milton Jowls first opponent would be Dave Williams, a veteran from Cardiff. The fight was in Williams' home town, but Milton was happy to go there to get some experience against what was considered a trial-horse. A small crowd would witness the genesis of Milton's career as the Newcastle Ninja.
Round 1. A fairly quiet opening. Nothing but clinches and missed punches in the first minute. Williams was concentrating on leading with his left to Milton's head, but towards the end of the round Milton did get in a couple of telling attacks. Probably round 1 to Milton.
Round 2. Even quieter than the first. Milton was concentrating on defence, letting Williams come to him. He did get in a good attack early on, but then Williams resorted to jabs from a distance and the round petered out. Milton probably just shaded it.
Round 3. For the first two minutes this round was like a sparring session, but in the final third, Milton became more aggressive and won the round easily with a beautiful left uppercut to the jaw and then a right cross to the head.
Round 4. Milton started well with right and left hooks to Williams' body. Then Williams launched a right cross to the head, his signature punch, that floored Milton. Our novice made it back to his feet after a count of 8, but the referee decided enough was enough. Williams the winner!
So, our Newcastle Ninja hardly lived up to the nickname he'd earned as an amateur. Williams was supposed to be a patsy, but this defeat hardly suggests Milton has a future in the professional ranks.
