    Aw man........

    R.I.P., Mr. Buchanan. Really old-school blend of boxing prowess and bulldog toughness.

    Aw this is awful, very sad to hear.
    A real artist who was tough as teak.
    One of the finest fighters ever to come out of Britain.

    “Buchanan, like a top-grade malt whisky, held his own in any foreign environment no matter how distant he was from his native shores…he was and remains one of the most accomplished British fighters to fight in foreign rings. His ring style was in some respects a metaphor for his own personality, elusive and tough, and the soaring singularity of his talent was matched by an equally single-minded determination that nobody, but nobody, knew better than Kenny Buchanan what was good for him.”

    - Brian Donald from The Fight Game In Scotland.
