Rudkin vs McGowan II - a wee history lesson from me

Johnny Owen also got robbed in Spain.

 

lloyd hneyghan and nigel benn had the best answers to dodgy decisions

 

you ask him

didnt know that thanks

what KO the guy

 

That would be when John got disqualitied for being ahead on points against Carlos Duran for the European title in Italy. It wasn't the only time Duran won on a late disqualification in Italy.
John never boxed again he was that disgusted.

 

he looked like he was going all the way too,didn't he.future wise

 

He did, he retired with a 32-1-1 as British and Commonwealth champ. That was the only loss on his career,
I've just had a look at the boxing news from that week and he was ahead on all scorecards and even the Italians booed it and started throwing stuff in the ring. Reason given was loose headwork even though he had no warnings and Duran had cut him with his head earlier in the fight.
Mickey Duff nearly had a fight with the referee. It was pandemonium in the ring.

 

sounds absouloute bollocks

things like that ruin boxing and fighters

abit like when the ref DQ'd Siki for KOing Carpientier in there fight but the crowd booed and the judge told the ref to stick his call up his arseand the judges called Siki the winner by KO

 

McGowan got robbed in Italy for the European Bantamweight title when he got a draw with Tomasso Galli.

 

im just off just now

but how much McGowan footage do you have?

 

I've got the Medel fight.
RB has got some.

 

I can't belive how much you boys know !

ill hve to speir RB

thanks

 

Cheers mate
