Well some good comments here as well as a few odd , but still each to their own .
Dennis Preston - your so right about the the injuries that continue on with boxers after retirement and Jeff Harding what a shame , could really give a fight everything he had . I recall the world title fight with Dennis Andries , by gad he came back from the jaws of defeat and landed blow after blow on the cocky sod - a well deserved victory.
Don’t know if anyone can recall the name of Hector Thompson , an Aboriginal chap with concrete hands who most unfortunately killed 2 of his opponents in the ring and then retired from the sport as he was devastated by the tragedies.
And OKB1 , yes mate Tony Mundine was indeed a true gentleman and a very good middleweight , but unfortunately had a glass jaw . Will never forget his fight with the South American brawler Carlos Monson , the bloke was a gorilla and thumped Mundine into submission , always blamed his manager for very poor judgement in allowing Tony Mundine to fight him .
However I am sure that the crowd for this upcoming fight will receive their money’s worth , may the better man win .
