Alex Morrison No1 in Scotland

is there a point to this thread other than you trying to impress Alex Morrison?

 

How does it work with Morrison and Warren in relation to Burns, Bill?

Where does one job end and the other begin?

 

sending a 9-0 Ricky Burns down to London to fight a 22-0 Graham Earl at a few days notice - typical of a Scottish promoter. Thank God Ricky had the talent and skills to come through it.

 

The shows in scotland that are backed by Warren are good, but not been overly impressed with the Thistle ones, Gilmours are better imo. He has Ricky of course, and done a good job there. I think Gilmour has more than 50-60 lads on the books at one time I heard? But overall big Alec is doing good for sure. You just putting this in so that you dont get a horses head in your bed Billy:good

 

True Mik, but he boxed the tits off him that night, made him look like a novice:hey

 

it's just as well that he did because it wouldn't have got the decision had it been remotely close.

 

I agree. Ricky was matched tough from the start- even pre Earl most of his fights were tough on paper, should have known then really.

 

I remember watching the johanneson fight and thinking he was going to get stopped but did well to hang on for the distance.

Am I right in remebering that Alex Morrison manged Scott Harrison as well during his world title defences?

 

I don't think it was poor management putting him in with Johannson, Ricky was ready IMO and style wise he had the goods to beat Carl but he didn't look right on the night.

Maloney managed Harrison.

 

do you not think its these fights, even though they were losses, that have made him the fighter he is??

 

I heard that Ricky was ill that night, and was shitting through the eye of a needle with a stomach bug for a couple of days before they went for it. he even had to take his gloves back off to go the toilet cause he still had it fight night. True dat
