    If you saw their two fights, and left out the endings you would have sworn so.
    Laing outboxed him with ease in both fights.
    I sat next to a Welsh promoter, who had come down with Colin, [he jumped in the ring aferwards], he was shitting bricks ,till Jones at last found the range.


    Until the fatal crusher was applied, Laing looked like a star, and Jones pedestrian, but he had the equalizer.

    Yeah, I've watched both fights.

    The best part is how Laing is holding on for dear life, and Jones keeps hitting him with bombs the entire time. He doesn't stop throwing, if I'm remembering correctly Laing is holding Jones head down and Jones just keeps winging shots up and over. :lol:

    Jones had real power, in both hands, but he was pretty slow and tended to throw one at a time,his best showing was against McCrory, imo.Laing was in the bar afterwards you could see ,he couldnt quite grasp it, he just stood there looking off into space.

    I've seen Laing stoned as **** during post fight interviews. He was just all "Huuuuurrrrr" :lol:

    Thanks for the story, McVey. Good stuff.

    Julian Jackson-Herol Graham, though they fought just once.
