Richie Woodhall appreciation thread!!!

I'm really starting to dislike manny he done the same thing to Jonathan Banks built the guy up and wasn't even there on his biggest night.

 

I thought you didn't have facebook?

I got the pic of google images :yep.

 

Believe you me I'm a big fan of Woodhall

 

Makes you look older ishy.

 

I'm a big fan of Woodhalls, the best in the UK at what he does IMHO.

 

Telford based Woodall is a decent human being

A family man

Father Ted trained him

Humble and honest - and a solid pro who was good enough to win the WBC World Super Middleweight title

Gave Roy Jones a decent fight in the Olympics

Lost in a WBC title fight to Keith Holmes went down brave in the final round where Don King ****ed him around and hampered his preparation

Lost to Joseph Calzaghe in 10 rounds

Woodall like to spend time with his family and go fishing with his dad

He done 12 rounds of training over various different things

bag
pads
floor to ceiling
speedball

and sparring

and various floor execises

there was a excellent programme on in the 1990's that featured exculsively Richie Woodall and Roy Jones Jnr and gave a insight into their lifes and showed them at work in the gym - did anyone else see it - ?

 

Nar but thats a nice summary, first i knew of him was Vs. Calzaghe

Is a top tenner regarding domestic dustup :deal

 

I will take Woodhall on workrate


Too close to call, chins and chins again.


Lots of red


They wont go down

 

Woodhall, he was a much better boxer than Froch, not big at the weight as a super middle but I still think he'd win on points.

 

Of course Woodall is only fighter I have seen who wan a decsion and admitted he didnt deserve to win

WBC title fight with Glenn Catley 1998

 

He was nearly blown away by German Markus Beyer - I remeber watching that in shock.

I didnt think Beyer could punch much - but Woodall had a torrid opening 3 rounds.

 

Yep, I remember that fight. Class act our Richue.:good

 

Woodall was a upright European style boxer

He wan the European title too - against Silvio Branco

I remeber the Malinga fight - he floored him in the 3rd round - WBC title win

This was the Malinga who had beaten Nigel Benn and Robin Reid in WBC title fights
