Trying to remember this boxers name??!?!?!?

He's on some knockouts dvd I've got with fights from early 90s on it

Sure his name is Georgie something, wore St George cross shorts and at one point had his blond hair in cornrolls

Its bugging the hell out of me:twisted:

 

Never mind it was Georgie Smith, just came to me

 

I was about to tell you :yep

He looked like a talent on that DVD, yet he never reached the top domestically and he is/was in prison for killing an OAP :-(

 

Georgie Smith?

 

Was it Georgie Smith?

 

He's in prison really?? yeah he looked the business in the few clips I saw of him, wondered why he stopped fighting at 28

 

Yes, yes it was

 

Apparently he was 'IBO Inter Continental welterweight champion'??

Blimey, what a shitbag, I lived all round this area at that time, can't believe I never noticed it in the news

 

George 'Georgie' Smith I think. Seem to remember he won a big big fight to grab the IBO Inercontintal Welterweight title when that really was a step away from a big title shot, like Matthew Hatton lol

 

He was given a fairly big TV build up to go "all the way" and was matched carefully but never looked physically strong enough to me.

He didn't seem to fancy the sport when it became obvious that he was British title standard at best.

 

yeah i wondered what happened to him, i think he was around the same time as 'scrap iron' Ryan

 

Damn... Boxers fall hard don't they.... Anyone know what Pat Mullings is up to these days... overheard something at a boxing show that got me thinking he may be in a similer prediciment

 

He was on one of my boxing videos "The Perfect Knockout" or "Best of British"...
