As a schoolboy fighter ( 30 years ago !!!) i used to dream of fighting at the Garden....I've watched fights there since but it can't be the same. Willie, take a minute to take in the decades of atmosphere, suck in the history, think about all the men who have laid it on the line before you in the palace of the pugilistic Gods, and then just box the ****ing head off Salita....you know you can do it. This very afternoon Mrs Icemax has OK'd the trip so at least you will have a couple of people cheering for you (englishmen but it counts the same :hey ) :happy
dunne has got a big heart i think, he fought a russian in the semis he got beat but did not stop trying, we were only 16 at the time and im sure it was under 19s so some of these guys looked like proper men, they had hairy chests and everything! haha anyway we both got bronze medals, we werent devoloped like these guys, we looked about 14! point is dunne had a really hard fight and fought real hard lost a close decision.
Certainly worth a rematch with Khan, but FW won't fancy it More so than chumps like Kristjansen and other guys getting speeding tickets having been called up on such short notice
thanks ice max i have a lot of good friends from England so it dont matter to me! theres a load of people from here going too so hopefully its a good night for us all!
well a re-match with khan would be my number 1 altho i do think he has improved but struggles with the weight, i rate murray high always have that would be a tough fight (for both of us) if thaxton won the european and was willing to give me a shot then of course, and romanov of course i would fight him, thats what this games all about!! obvously financial as well if im honest
I don't have any question, but I do want to you wish you the best of luck in your next fight. Enjoy the experiance and bring a W back to Britain :good
As a sidenote to what the above poster is asking, how good was the shot you caught Khan with Willie? We often speculate on this, since your record would suggest you aren't a huge puncher but more of a boxer, but you'd know better than anybody. Did you feel like you really caught him with a good 'un that would shake anybody, or is it his chin?
