    Season's greetings to everyone the recent documentary on the Benn/Mccellan fight had me thinking back to an excellent & moving old documentary on welsh fighter Johnny Owen.Johnny was a bantamweight & challenged unsuccessfully for the world title against Lupe Pintor it cost him his life.He was nicknamed the matchstick man & held british,commonwealth & european titles really well made programme about his family & how it affected all the people involved.

    Also just wondering if anyone can recommend any other boxing documentaries they have seen.
