It was Valero who gave him the black eye n busted him up, he sent Valero packing after. The whole it was ortiz thing was a load of bull**** to give ortiz more respect seen as he's a GBP fighter
I also have an article about Volodymyr Klitschko sparring vs Sam Peter, Tony Tubbs & 2 other Nigerians circa 2001. I tried to find it online again so i could just post a link but no success. I could copy/paste the article if anyone is interested.
Leonard sparring with....I think Quincy Taylor in the lead up to the Hagler fight. Apparently Leonards strategy was originally to go after Hagler but after getting his clock cleaned in sparring he decided at the last minute to apply the hit & run thing.
I read in Teddy Atlas book that Duran once sparred this hard nut gym rat vet docter Duran did'nt care he was'nt a real fighter and Duran knock him out.
I also heard that in between one of the rounds Sanchez was yelling at Cuevas telling him he should be ashamed of himself getting beat up by a boy, Cueves reportdley was just muttering "incredible Incredible" in spanish.
Here's a funny story a bloke at work Glen telling me when he was young he train down at bankstown p'c'y'c Paul Nasari a world ranked lightweigth train there as well, Glen took his brother down to train one night age 14 at that time an the trainer there was an old sydney stadium fighter said to Glens brother glove up an jump in so young Joel Northridge jump in started to spar Paul Nasari he caught Paul with a few good shots and had Paul in the corner and would not let him out then Paul started yelling its not a fight its only sparring and Pauls trainer old Tommy walk over to the corner making Cat nosies meow meow calling Paul a *****.
As Flea says quit reading Boxing records and watch the man fight. Maurice Harris was a pretty good puncher he put Jeremy Williams out Cold his war with the much heavier Derrick Jefferson was also good with both dropping each other and Harris hurting him numerous times. Dont go by his boxing record Maurice Harris could definitely hit, he was pretty skillful too i guess he didnt go far since his chin wasnt too hot, seemed to do just enought to lose. I thought he was robbed against an Older Larry Holmes.
Wasn't Bernie's gym?? Pisser of a story all the same. Paul was a dead set favourite when I was in my teens.. Loved his blood baths with Brouwer.. very messy.. lol
I believe that is the Same Darrol Wilson seen on Video beating the crap out of that police officer after a traffic stop, It was on one of those True Tv video shows.
Its a sad thing Wombat.. guys like Mad Dog, Nasari, Brouwer, Artango, Trotter, Aczel, Leglise, Gentzen, Marcetta, Jannsen etc are soon being forgotten... or the recognition of National champs is becoming so limited of late that comparisons are no longer made. This really is a sad detriment to the game with so many regional belts available to novices.
