Got burned out to young from what a few knowledgeable lads on here have said. He had plenty of wars. Talented kid but finished up by looks.
He was a very hard wee man was Kevin. Commonwealth games in Manchester, he qualified at a weight he couldnt make safely anymore, but didnt eat a thing for 5 days trying. I think he won his first fight too before the team doc pulled him out, with a real protest from Kev. Seemed to just suddenly pull the plug on the boxing very quickly.
yeah mate i remember watching the mutley fight, i couldnt believe anderson came back and won after getting hurt alot.....tough tough man. i think he was the type who had trouble with boxers and counter punchers but loved a brawler infront of him. he must only be 28/29, still time to come back for one last go, not always a great idea to do that tho.
Sadly kevin wont be returning to the ring as he failed a brain scan, such a tough warrior. Think those hard fights took their toll on him!!!!!!!
Shame he never could get the fitness aspect right, I keep hearing he is fighting in a lot of bare knuckle fights these days
Waste of talent, I always felt he was a bit to reckless if he was more thoughtful he'd of had a better career.
Really lost his way when he teamed up with Bob Shannon imo who tried to remove the brawling aspect which was his best attribute, just didn't work. Did look shop worn after the Nuumbembe fight though, seemed to get old quite quick.
His fitness was always good, dunno where you get that one? as for the bare knuckle fighting, dont know where that comes from either, dont believe its true
