    People lie for funny reasons. Hershel Walker claims to do endless bodyweight workouts everyday which are calculated to be about 3 or so hours long and eats one bowl of spinach a day. He has no reason to lie either. It's to build a legend, it adds flavour to there character. Chances are he lifted in college like 99% of athletes and he lifted in the marines. But then again, only Kenny knows.

    It sure appears to be a happy bus ride to the land of Cooney. Lol.

    Yes, yes Rich - en-route to Cooney “Dream” World, all joyously singing “The wheels on the bus….”. Hehe.

    Thanks Swag, much appreciated. Excellent info now locked into the noggin.

    Interesting that Futch mentions a "film" of the fight - so there was a film in some shape or form that existed - might turn up one day, hopefully.

    Trawling the net for any other details on the first Garcia fight, I found this old thread in which a poster provides a quoted article describing the fight - submitted via multiple posts. Pretty cool.
