Thanks for that Boxon I had'nt seen that since the actual fight i had forgoton just how good it was ,,
..yeah I get goose bumps every time i watch it too.. ..couldn't get the fight out of my head for about 3 years after i first saw it..thought about it everyday..****en weird..:blood
He was a very nice bloke, so easy going & likeable I used to go see him spar a bit, i even still have a nice pair of personally signed gloves that he gave me Good to see him looking so well & sharp
Not sure why the crowd booed and the commentary said it was controversial after the collins fight which ended after 2 rds.......... not many human beings on the planet could take the punishment both fighters took in those rds. Not only that but the workrate of Harding broke the old fella Collins... he had a real dig but knew he was ****ed. He would've got brain damage another 2 or 3rds of that
I'm sure you both shared a story or two munching on your $5 steak at the "Friend in Hand" hotel at Glebe......... which by the way you thought was in Surry Hills atsch
where did i say that about the Friend in hand??? Last pub i saw him in was the Quarryman at Pyrmont, but that was years ago When i watched him spar, it was well over twenty years ago i suppose now Theres one good bloke who frequented these boards who could give great insight into Harding, but TC "scared" him off :rofl
