Brit Forum - Classic Picks

A piece of useless information for you all. (The sort of thing Flint Island likes). My next door neighbour is son of Mick Leahy, who beat SRR (past his best) over 15 rounds.

Although in his sixties, he still street fights regularly and by all accounts is still rather tasty.

 

Over 10 rounds according to Boxrec and he'd knocking on 75, theres some pretty big names on that guys record!!

 

There's even some footage on youtube:

good choice the will of the wisp

 

My mistake about the rounds, but my neighbour claims his old man is a few years younger than what Boxrec says!

 

he the greatest of all time

 

bump

 

SRR is the best of all time, i wont dispute that!!!

 

this threads really taking off

 

The best thing about him is without doubt that left hook. He sets it up so well, and the crucial thing is the way he disguises it so well. His opponent more often than not hasn't got a clue what just hit them, and by that stage they're either on their back facing skyward or facing an onslaught of violent punches to the face. Class!!

 

great description

yeh his hook was immense

 

Yeah in the first SRR video, the left hook KO's at 2:06 and 2:54 are pretty much what i'm talking about. If you look carefully, its almost as if he's going to lead with the right hand on both occassions, and BOOOM. Thats what got him the KO in those cases, surprise power

 

By the way, I could literally watch that first video all day!

 

i could watch any SRR video all day
