Fantastic boxer, fast hands, decent power, good jab, nice combos, good movement etc... But as Gaz says he wasnt very durable. His bout with Kaylor is a must see.
That was as an amatuer, he didn't get to the British title in the pros. The Kaylor fight, which he lost, was a final eliminator for a shot at Herol Graham for the Brit title.
Just a tremendous fight, one of my all time favourites :good [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBNecrGBw2Q[/ame] [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L96e7DnRHRQ&feature=related[/ame] [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZnQuZMSGPc&feature=related[/ame] [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkcVXs8mdZM&feature=related[/ame]

Thanks for that Vantage, didnt realise so many of Errol fights were on Youtube, gonna make my way through them now
I remember watching the Seys fight, it was a real "WTF?" moment. They'd brought the bigger guy over in the hope he could give Christie some rounds.
That was crazy, absolutely mullered him there didn't he?........favourite KO of the bunch there was against Dexter Bowman, what a combo :good
yeah that one was good, i liked the hoye one. lead right hand then rolled under his right hook and let him fall through. the slow mo replay has a great angle. but still it shows how well schooled he was and just blessed with talent to do that. [yt]yrBzxOVXnQo[/yt] he jabs and keeps up with watson well here. mcguigan says exctly whats is needed to be said
