The All-in-one Consolidatory Boxing Thread Page 12

Freddie Mills had a subsequent career as an actor. Until he was shot, whether by his own hand or someone else's. Occasionally pops up on TPTV.

Yes, and some real cringe worthy ones too. Unimpressed

I love boxing. Anthony Joshua refused to take the knee as he knows my Nan grew up in a hovel just off Waterloo and she was white, What a hero. Also, it is an American gesture and we do things better here (although could always improve) as we are structural rather than some crackpot place pretending they are all the Oscars. My roots are virtually in the Manor Place Baths, off the Walworth Road, which is where I got the autographs of John Conteh, Terry Downes and about twelve more other greats. In the early days. my family would go down there not in boxing gloves but just to have a wash. So, yes, I know all about wearing long shorts and vests and having discipline though you have aggression issues but believe in a formal framework for your own good. Also, I never had sweat issues myself, not least because I have been eternally blessed with a bathroom. At 7 stone 3 and with no chest hair, obviously I had to cover my entire body with tattoos and that did include my knob. But I saw us all basically as the same and normal. It was in my genes. That sort of instinct. Plus I also sing in a cockney accent round the old joanna. Mainly I do negro spirituals.

Well done Chris Eubank Junior on his revenge bout.
My mate just reminded me of when we met Chris Eubank senior in a Brighton hotel and when I said hello and shook his hand I was doing my Chris Eubank impression to him as if I spoke like that normally
We were a bit drunk, I've no idea if he noticed, but in hindsight it was perhaps a bit rude, and maybe risky, but we did find it funny at the time

I may have told this story before, but the doctor who delivered me was the ring doctor at all the big Vegas fights in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. My father used to point him out when we watched matches as a kid.

Joshua - Dubois fight about to start
AJ could become a three time Heavyweight title winner

Not many pundits fancy it lasting the distance

Fliipin hell
Oh well AJ was always a Frank Bruno squared
Can't really box , can't take a punch

The proverbial sack of spuds.

He's nothing

Typical British fighter , looks good early on in career - as soon as the big important fights come - they found out

Amir Khan, Naseem Hamed, Ricky Hatton, Bruno - it goes on and on

Except Lennox Lewis and Fury of course

AJ isn't on the same planet as those two and never will be
