    i'm sure it must have been covered well somewhere here already.
    not even sure if this is the correct place for this post either.

    he got 23 years when he hit a fella who fell back and hit his head on the pavement and died.
    23 years is a hell of a sentence for a bouncer hitting someone...i would have thought manslaughter rather than murder would have been charge.
    i'm not saying hitting someone and killing someone is ok...not at all...just think this case delaney could have got manslaughter rather than murder, as it wasnt the punch that killed the guy, it was when he fell back and his head hit the pavement, so there is an aspect of accident to it {although he did mean to hit the guy}

    i dont know much abut the type of fella delaney was, apart from his boxing career...i'm more curious about what others think of it all.

    IIRC there was more to it than that. I think the attack was considered unprovoked rather than a bouncer "dealing" with a awkward customer.

    FWIW both the Delaney brothers had "reputations" outside the ring.

    IIRC:

    If I Recall Correctly (ie. it was a long time ago and I'm pissed)

    FWIW:

    For What Its Worth (ie. the information is heresay/ gossip not fact)

    Two blokes were being a bit of a pain and Garry was told to remove them by the manager. He did so but dumped one in some bushes and the other one complained. Delaney then turned and unleashed a right uppercut which killed the bloke. It was all caught on CCTV.
    He didn't mean to kill him but make of it what you will.

    Yes the Delaney brothers were cocks and he deserved the sentence. They were exposed in the ring for their limited ability so thought they would take their frustration out on members of the public on a night out.

    Apparently the lad was sprayed with CS then punched- that's what I read somewhere! Boxers shouldn't work on doors. Pissed up idiots are accidents waiting to happen.

    It seems a bit severe

    His brother Mark was Irish champion. Watched him in the Stadium on numerous times. Good boxer, and a heavy hitter.:thumbsup

    He killed the guy with intent so murder, fancy spraying someone with CS then punching them. The guys a total **** and is best left in jail.

    Killing people whilst working on the doors is horribly frequent. I've had a couple of near misses, seriously. I also lost a friend through a violent attack. The doors are should be the last resort for any young boxer.
