The brawl in Porthcawl: Dick Richardson v Brian London

Wild stuff.

I love it.

 

wow i was talking to my dad about this who remembers it happening on live tv.both fighters families where all pro's.

what i find cool is how they are actually fighting and want to fight unlike the mayweather-judah "brawl"

 

London was crazy to do that although the man in the light grey/brown suit seemed the craziest of the bunch. Was he a boxer by any chance?

 

London never once punched with such murderous intentions against Ali or Patterson.

A pity as although he'd have never beaten either in a million years he'd have gained more respect than he has today.

How was Richardson's finishing punches against the German bloke by the way?

The poor bugger was in the middle of a standing 8 count when Dick says "Stuff this" and cleans his clock out :yep

How he wasn't D.Q'd is a mystery at home in Germany.Actually I'm surprised he wasn't lynched.

 

Thanks for posting this, I remember it well, there were murders over this extra curricular punchup, funny to hear both guys version of how the fight went.London could be a bully boy and Richardson was fond of throwing the nut in, happy days.

 

That was absolutely hilarious!!! My grandad used to drink with Jack London (Brian's dad and one time british heavyweight champ too) - my grandad always said Brian London was just a big thug who was always fighting in the boozers in Blackpool but he said Jack London was MUCH the better fighter of the two in the ring

 

yeah the stuff about him never drinking is complete hogwash - my grandad says he was always boozed up - he said that was his main problem

 

Poor old Brian London...what a timid as a lamb, inept performance he turned in against Ali.
