Bunce. On next weeks show can you mention Kevin Finnegan who's just died at the age of 60. Never saw him fight (before my time) but apparently he gave a young Hagler all he could handle in their first fight. Cheers.
Thought the Hopkins interview was brilliant. I've warmed to Bernard after that. As someone said...nice guy in victory...
first time i have watched the show last night, really enjoyed it thought it was great, the funniest part was bunce trying to talk during the hopkins interview, god hopkins goes on will be tuning in reguarly from now on:smoke
I will try and get hold of Alan Minter for a Kevin Finnegan tribute. I saw him fight and had the pleasure of watching him train with his brother and Freddie Hill. He was an enigma. The last of a breed. A lot of people liked what they heard from Bernard. That's good. He's a decent human - try and take a look at the BBC Inside Sport film I made before the Calzaghe fight. Bernard has many, many sides. Adios.
I wasn't born until '75 but the 70's seems a bit of a hollowed time for me for british boxing, with Minter, the Finnegans, Conteh even good old 'enry etc. and those smoke filled arenas! No real Glamour, Just the honest toil I guess. Good if you can get Minter or even his brother Chris on Stevo to talk about Kevin Finnegan. Read his brothers book not so long ago "Finnegan: Self portrait of a fighting man". Excellent read. Good show Buncie boy!
he inside sport video about hopkisn gave me a serious dilema of who to support on there fight. i will always have big respect for hopkins.
Great show - just been home to watch it cos I was out yesterday. Any ideas why Buncey wasn't ''allowed'' to mention Joe's name - then Bernard did
Great show, Buncey! Best boxing show out there right now. ****, it's probably the best sport's show! Can't believe how much those guys pack into 60 minutes. Makes that old Sky Sports' 'Ringside' show look like Newsround.
