Tony Sibson's best performance

That was definitely one of his best.
I also think, when he actually smashed Minter.
I know Alan was way past best by then, but still not many did that to Him.
His loss to Hagler, even though he lost, he fought to his best and put in a gutsy display.
Course, he was in with Marvin near prime, so never gonna win.
I liked Tony, he had his heart on his sleeve and was a down to earth type guy.
As an aside, I give him a good chance of beating prime Eubank.
Styles make fights thing, mate imo.

 

The Collins fight was very cool as John Collins was being hyped and Sibbo spanked him. The near shutout of Dwight Davidson was very impressive. That or Minter would be my pick. He had some nice wins.

 

You sure bout that? Heard of Steve Collins who beat Benn an Eubank . Never heard of John Collins. Who did he ever beat that made whoever beat Collins one of the best middleweights in the world.?

 

Yeah I remember seeing him bust up minter an stop him though kinda weird that vid seems to have disappeared everywhere now. That was a good ko

 

It had disappeared for a while but seems to be back.

Those last few hooks really ruined Minters nose.

 

Good to see it again. Minter didn’t look shot to me.He just couldn’t handle the pressure that Sibson was putting on him an could never recover from the big left hook that put him down. Notice also just at the end that Minter had a bad habit of half turning his back to his opponent an stop fighting when he got badly hurt by a shot. Did the same against Hagler just before the fight was stopped.

 

Nice one, pal.
Yep alway had that impression from interview s and such.

 

yeah, weren’t doubting what you were saying gman, just feeling too lazy today to look him up an find out who he was.

 

The Dwight Davison fight for me. Davison was already an established top contender, which made it impressive. The John Collins fight was impressive because, man, Sibbo's reflexes were firing on all cylinders that night. But Collins was more of a top prospect than contender at that stage, which is why I like the Davison fight.

 

It is not often i disagree with you Fergie but Minter was not way past his best.Not prime Minter but i would say he was only sleightly over the hill

 

Wasn't that his last fight tho, Noel?
I've got to admit, I'm not a big expert on the guy so I'm probably surmising, mate.

 

Many years ago whilst travelling to Chester races in the car Tony Sibson was on the radio giving his thoughts on the upcoming Christie v Kaylor fight.Tony told everyone to put their money on the underdog Kaylor as he was very impressed with him in their fight.I followed Tony`s advice and won a good amount of money and thus the reason Mark is one of my favourite fighters ever.Many thanks for the tip off Tony
