Les Darcy

So for it to be a valid article does it need to be an American newspaper ? Because surely they wouldn't be biased in favour of their own countryman Smith would they ?

 

The point was that they werent there, They are obviously reporting the information second hand or using what are essentially wire reports (extremely inaccurate during this era and potentially written by those close to Darcy). I mean NZ is what? Almost 1000 miles away...

 

So where is your proof from a source that was there to say otherwise ?

Maybe it was a fix but all I'm saying is what I've read says that Smith fought dirty in the two fights and thats what I'm inclined to believe.

 

and based on what Ive read it was questionable at best. I choose to believe that Darcy is currently overrated based on having everything in his favor fighting against the fighters he did. The fact that he died so young helped his legacy because he never got to take his dog and pony act on the road and leave behind his overly protective officials

 

Its definitely a fair point. Darcy most definitely still had alot to prove but what he did achieve in such a short amount of time should and has been recognised. I guess we will have to agree to disagree on whether or not he is overrated.
