    As its well reported a once iconic figure, all be it a very lil figure, in SA Boxing has fallen on hard times due to illnesses...I'm jus interested internationally what did you guys think of 'Baby' Jake, the small man with a huge heart and punch!!!!

    Sad to hear about his troubles.

    Always had a soft spot for the little guy, seemed like a decent bloke aswell.

    Does anyone who isn't a boxing noob remember his "war dance" during his first fight with Mickey Cantwell?
