Lionel Rose RIP

I enjoyed watching his fellow Aussie stylist Johnny Famechon as well. Bit more of a mover I seem to recall though. Will have to track down some of his fights on yt.

 

Gaz, do you have a youtube channel or will u put the fight on here:think

R.I.P.

 

I'll need to cut the fight into 4 parts because of the YouTube 15 minute thing then I'll post the links here. I'll start tomorrow as I'm in work tonight and hopefully have it done by this time Tuesday.

 

cheers pal, ill keep an eye out for it

 

As promised, the rounds are pretty tightly clipped to stay down to 15 minutes but all the action is there. Probably should have gone with 3 rounds per clip and 5 clips but never mind.....
