Random memory of Terrible Tim when he came to London for media day for the Bruno fight, he is standing beside a couple of London coppers, and he was speaking into the camera saying "these guys are call policemen, not cops - Policemen" - giving it the Mr nice guy routine. Then he hammered Bruno.
Great show Buncey. The 'beat the man who beat the man' nature of boxing is one of its bit appeals, and old footage and even better retired fighters criminally overlooked as anything other than pundits so really enjoyed the features and time given to Witherspoon.
There is one of the top so-called boxing writers from a British paper in Washington and now Atlantic City right now who one year ago had NEVER heard of James Cook! Cook, or The Bandit, on the kids in his gym now was beautiful. In modern boxing too many people kiss the feet of clowns like Ariza and have never even heard of a man with Cook's pedigree on both sides of the ropes. Adios.
Good piece in the Independent today Buncey, the only sensible thing I have read in the UK print media about that so-called "mugging/robbery etc".
