Willie Limond

One day he is preparing for a fight then this sad news.

A real fighting man and hopefully he pulls through making the best recovery possible.

 

Such a shame. Met him years ago he was a lovely guy.

 

Absolutely

 

Rotten news. Can only hope he comes out of it okay.

 

The fight he had with Burns back in September was brutal, took far too much punishment for someone at 45, but thats's what warriors do. Hope he pulls through ok.

 

Next time someone talks about British stoppages or if they want to fight let them, remember this.

 

Limond always rebounds so fingers crossed he rebounds from this too. A real pro, nearly 25 years in the pro game. Really hope he pulls through.

Since I left the UK 20 years ago it has been difficult to keep up with all the British fighters. I remember a gallant Willie dropping Amir Khan but I didn´t think I´d hear much more from him again.

A few years later he pops up in Mexico fighting Erik Morales! Tried his best but hard to come back from that defeat but next I see him on Burns´ world title defense undercard as reigning Commonwealth champ and he then wins the British title. What a comeback!

Kudos to the guy for always coming back and I wish him and all his family a lot of luck in the future.

 

Sending Willie all the very best. Hope he makes a full recovery.

 

Get well soon Willie.

 

That last fight against Ricky Burns - he's 45, cut to bits, getting outboxed, has no chance of winning and no need to prove anything to anyone, yet he's still fighting and won't give in. That's a warrior, and it's also why boxers sometimes need protecting from themselves.

 

Still remember him dropping khan and khan taking extra time to get up. Had £20 on him that day gutted.

 

Willie Limond RIP. Terrible news.

 

Scottish legend, Rip Willie and condolences to the family.
