I used to love watching his fights. But he boxed in a foolish style. You can't expect to get away with that when you're in with decent fighters.
He let himself down. A real shame, but not exactly uncommon. I can't stand that ****er Bunce though. Constantly sounds like he's about to burp up his roast dinner.
It’s difficult. A professional fighter is often from the wrong side of the tracks. Most of them don’t become famous. Think of all the boxers. Not just the ones who make it. Kids from the wrong side of the tracks Who don’t even get to afford to get out of being “on the wrong side of the tracks” even when they are fighting. pro boxing doesn’t even cover minimum wages for the vast, vast majority of professional boxers. Then there are the unicorns. A great fighter. The minority among the number of all boxers. These are the ones that become famous. Every time a once great fighter who had the opportunity to actually make a good living from fighting winds up in a bad position, it is sad. But I wonder what all the other guys who didn’t make it, who got beat up their whole life, thought of that? Didn’t it always suck for them too?
Now some a yous limeys will know better than me but those 2 colin jones fights were they over 15 rounds? I dunno its hard to figure out. I still think he was in there with a duran similar to the bum who fought pat lawlor but you gotta say kirk looked great and we gotta assume he made him look like that. Now he dud beat sylvestor mitee at 32 that was a big win.But most a kirks fights on youtibe are when hes an old geezer. The guy who got slapped around by smith,boucher and lueshing aint the kirk of 80-82 Wouldve been a great one honeyghan & laing
