No love lost between Herbie Hide and British born Michael Bentt, they went at it pre fight Christie/Kaylor style too. Not much of a fight, but Johnny Nelson and Carl Thompson had a long running feud. A classic that is often forgot: Dennis Andries and Tom Collins. Finnegan (Chris) and Conteh did not like each other.
I was gonna' say Benntt-Hide but couldn't find the footage of their scrap. The actual fight, which is on yt, paled in comparison
Christ you are in for a treat there with Gomez Arthur - brutal The other two are beyond brutal, I don't watch them for that reason, personally
Lewis/Bruno - uncle tom, true brit and all that. Didn't the Naz v Steve Robinson fight have a bit of needle? To a lesser extent Haye/Maccarinelli.
Good shout! I remember seeing Bugner in the studio slagging off Dunn's effort against Ali. Even though he was outclassed he'd put a brave show and it didn't go down well with the public who'd seen Joe's own non effort against Ali. Bugner was well fired up for this one for a change and I really felt sorry for Dunn but Joe was in fact on a different level. Shame he never showed it more often.
Benn and Logan had needle, probably even moreso than Benn-Eubank. Logan was from the British Empire atleast
Paul Smith vs Tony Quigley Paul Smith vs Tony Dodson Haye vs Harrisson Michael Ayers vs Wayne Rigby Calzaghe vs Reid Eubank vs Benn, Watson, Calzaghe, Collins, Stretch, Thompson Hide vs Bennt Sprott vs Harrisson Williams vs Harrisson Williams vs Sprott
I was lucky to be there. Benn was lucky the fight was in Britain, it should of been stopped, Benn was gone. It is rightly pointed out, there is no such thing as a lucky punch in boxing. Benn/Logan is the exception to prove the rule.
Was there needle with Holligan and Neary? good shout above with the under the radar andries triology.
