    Yeah it is mate. I thought it was a 30 min thing but it's not it's proper in depth look at the night and the after math. At one point for about 5 mins it goes off track and i was :huh but it actually leads into the full story and i'm getting into some exciting bits of it now. It's deffo worth the watch.

    Yeah i'm gonna have to go and re watch Campbell Bradley again i was getting sidtracked and didn't really get a good watch of it.

    Yeah mate fire away :lol: i'm always happy to watch good/great fighters in action. I'm getting more and more into watching old fights now.

    :good

    Locche was an amazing fighter, maybe he would have been found out lacking in offence if he'd have fought away from Argentina more than he did. You won't win on points away from home with a style like his.

    Comparisions to Sweat Pea are WAY off.

    ill have a look of this Docu but i hate Resto and Paname Lewis, there a bunch of dick heads.

    It was a good fihgt i wrote an article on the im convinced campbell beats bradley thread

    well where do i start

    heres a few good ones

    Barney Ross
    Emile Griffith
    Dick Tiger
    Joey Giardello
    Tony Canzoneri
    Jimmy McLarnin
    Benny leonard
    Joe Gans

    that should do you

    Hes nothing like Sweet Pea i think the most simlar to him is probably Happy Lora out of all fighters.

    'Happy' was one hell of a fighter, both him and Whittaker were streets ahead of Locche as offensive fighters IMHO.

    Greay clip to watch though mate. Cheers!!

    Locche had a poor offence but it just shows how good his defence was. However Locche had a brilliant left hook to the body, he loved to counter with it.

    Yeh it is a good clip, quite rare but its good for things like this when its only 3 mins long.

    I wont miss assualt in the ring.

    Does it hype up Collins saying he was a next champ and that?

    I don't want to sound harsh after what happened but Collins was never going to be that good IMHO.

    Nah actually it tells it how it is imo i dunno if gaz agrees. I think from what i'm seeing it going into all camps and getting in depth and no i don't think Collins would of been a great fighter....just a tough kid with a good punch and some potential but we all know potential is what it is.

    I just thinking and it's not a nice thought but i dislike the man intensely but i wouldn't be surprised that one day we will hear of him being killed.

    All the bollocks about i love my fighters then he talks **** about them after there gone.

    And he's still allowed to train fighters....sickens me

    Mandanda if Lewis was going to be killed it would have been done years ago when he was quite well known, now hes relativly obscure but still pops up in gyms from time to time
