Great post!
I was talking about Freddie the other day. I become friends on FB with a lad called Dar Cole. His old fella Eamon boxed out of that gym.
I'd say yes, he'll be remembered as one.
First that come to mind for me too.
I've seen them as well, think they did a top thousand or something, it was shite. I think they do it on some sort of points system.
I sent you a message asking if we might know each other. Freddie trained my dad before he parted ways with Bobbie Neill and went to the Lavender...
Did you get the message I sent you?
For me, the Holmes fight.
:lol::lol:
Interesting post!
He was a brawler but he was more than just that. You can't fight in close at that level for all that time the way he did without taking clean...
Yes, I'll have to sit down and read it. I've got Dave Boy Green's, The Fen Tiger to read as well, made a start on that, enjoying it!
I think I'd have to go along with Addie on that one.
Only recently bought it, haven't got round to reading it yet apart from flicking through.
Here's Mickey's take on it The first fight was a war from start to finish and at one pòint I thought Hagler might be ready to go but eventually...
