    Lord Lonsdale ran into the ring before a light welterweight title fight claiming no such division existed. I can't remember the exact details and am searching through this book right now, it might have been at 130 pounds actually.

    Imagine Louis belting one in at the kop end and then hardly celebrating because of how he was always taught not to gloat at a fallen opponent! We'd make a proper celebratin' athelte out of him though, he'd be getting yellow carded foe jumping in the crowd before long!!!
