    Honeyghan smashed Curry over in America
    Hatton over Mallignaggi in America
    Witter over Harris
    Benn over Barkley in America
    Lewis over a few :yep

    Obviously, American's don't like travelling over here :yep

    Past prime Conteh lost to Saad Muhammad
    Randy Turpin lost his rematch to SRR
    Honeyghan lost to Starling

    Recently Luevano and Bradley have won world titles in Britain.

    Paul Ingle beat Junior Jones on the Lennox-Grant card. That's two Brits beating Yanks on their turf on the same night :bbb

    Yeah, I think Turpin beating SRR classifies here. Yeah it may have been a close victory, but any victory over SRR (even if he was out of his prime) is an 'ownage' :yep

    Sure Nelson and Conteh will have a couple of victories over American's over here.

    SRR 128-1-1 going into the Turpin fight. Turpin was only 23 (I think) and had never gone past 8 rounds :deal.

    (We can forget the bit about Sugar being on a Euro tour, drinking and getting laid before fighting Turpin ;))

    Jim Watt was getting beat bad by Sean O'Grady until he used his head or so the father tells me. He hates Watt because of that fight
