    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.

    Assault in the Ring was very good as was the Jack Johnson documentary.
