TOMO 25,898 Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 I was very fortunate to have met marvin haggler ,,he was doing a gentlemens eavning here in notts and I was asked to look after him,,, they put a few of his fights on and then folk got to ask him questions,,, a real nice gent and his wife.. Although it was a good night,, it was slightly mared when one of the local "gangsters "hanger one,,,shouted out have you ever had a prostitute,,, what a f***ing nob. I had a pic with him at the end,,, but it wasn't my camera ,, and I never got the pic,,, I had also bought one of those fancy gold marker pens,,, to get him to sign a pair of my boxing gloves,,, like a tit a forgot the gloves. A real nice fella though , and a great fighter 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
billyayling 3 Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 Maybe not greatest but paul ingle v mandina (don't no how it spelt!) when ingle won title was some match up both men threw over 100 punches each per round for 12 rounds and ingle got dropped in final round to get up and win on points. Edge of seat stuff. Always liked Paul ingle shame he never had a rematch win nazem hamed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spindolero 1,110 Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 what i liked about hagler hearns was that it lived up to the hype, plenty of good fights but the build up had gone on for months and they were both at their peak, and were never quite the same again 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnasher16 30,007 Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 For the sheer magnitude of the event for me Hagler/Hearns would have to go down as the greatest fight certainly in our lifetimes.............very rarely do the " superfights " that come around once in every generation live up to the hype...................ive always felt Hagler came out with the intentions of having a cagey chessmatch but when Hearns put it on him he couldnt help his own natural urge to stand and have it with him......which again for such a big fight dont happen often. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Frann 882 Posted March 30, 2013 Report Share Posted March 30, 2013 Im not an expert on boxing but looks like some of you fine folks are. What do you think of the fight between Tommy Farr and Joe Louis at the Yankee Stadium? I watched the fight on Youtube and its a god fight (in my non expert opinion.)

What do you think of the fight between Tommy Farr and Joe Louis at the Yankee Stadium? I watched the fight on Youtube and its a god fight (in my non expert opinion.) Watched it years ago - and from what I recall Tommy Farr put up one helluva performance against Joe Louis...losing a disputed 15 round decision...Farr had the heart of a lion...Farr was quoted as saying "My face looked like a dug up road after the louis fight"...Many felt Farr had been robbed in this fight... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jones was a god fighter - tough lad - he fought Kirkland Laing twice knocking him out in the 9th both times (I think) and Laing had a 10 round decision over Duran...woth watching the Jones vs Laing footage - Jones behind in both bouts then BINGO...
