    Sadly passed away from a heart attack. True pro. And absolutely one of fittest fighters that ever there was

    You're always one of the first to express sympathies when misfortune befalls one of our boxing community. You're a classy guy, Jonny.

    Sad to hear. I remember enjoying watching a number of his fights.

    Wait, as in Shinny Bayaar's rival? He can't be much older than I am, ****.

    Two really hard contests with Shinny . 41 years old . I hope buncey gives him a bit of air time this week as he deserves a mention. I still maintain that real British boxing lies at the heart of the smaller shows where some great performances often go unnoticed

    Absolutely. He also dealt Uzzie Ahmed his second defeat, and did everyone a favor in nicking the BBBofC flyweight title - along with his zero - from the other Edwards, the Scouse one (Paul) that got that ridiculous TKO1 victory over Bayaar just before the rule change on cuts went into effect. :thumbsup:

    I actually had that fight 115-113 to Paul Edwards, but was happy to see a guy like Chris will his way to an upset over the smug bastard.

    You are bang on when you say "will his way to victory "!! He very often just delved into the hurt locker and threw leather after leather until the final seconds
