    McVey, where were you for the last three years?!
    Great post though and it should be a must read for the "boxing started with colour TV brigade".

    I agree with Gibbons about Tunney's left hook to the body. It's most certainly an overlooked punch in his arsenal. Every combination he fired off he was sure to end with a left hook to the body.

    Gibbons himself had a very good left hook that he doubled up to the body and head. Tunney said he was very wary of it throughout the fight.
