He is actually a good looking f****r even after all the hits he has taken lol ......... He moved in good company theres some decent names on that list and he didnt get knocked out often ...........its a hard game to just play at like i say mine was a proper career up and down the country every week different gyms all over decent money,a trainer in your corner etc......these days they got to be willing to take fights on short notice your not affiliated to anyone you dont always have a proper manage/trainerr your just a name on a list......get ko,d and your on a 31 day no earner its harder these days i feel.....best of luck to him in life after boxing anyway Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WILF 47,327 Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 Mark fought the same as he lived....a bit wild.....he had a lot of attitude back years ago wanted to fight anyone who looked at him wrong,kids by loads of different birds.....typical ghetto type off the estates.......................................his son got stabbed to death and it changed his whole outlook on life,started going round schools and boys clubs etc doing all anti knife crime talks and he,s actually a very decent fella these days so it shows we can all make positive changes no matter what we are up against......still says the hardest fight he ever had was not killing the man who killed his son !........He,s a very deep sort of fella these days but with 14 years out of the ring never felt he really gave 100% to boxing so wants another crack.......we all think we are fit and strong but LOOKING fit and strong and BEING fit and strong enough to step back through the ropes and be competetive is a different thing.......he looks great in the gym but obviously that dont mean he,ll look great when it matters time will tell......he,s hoping to get out early October at York Hall.......total respect for the man to come through what he,s come through and still have hopes and dreams. Fair play to the man, just had a look at his foundations website......the work they are doing is worthwhile and very positive. You need to have been there to truly understand these things and you need to tip your hate in on top of the coffin with the dirt or it will destroy you.......but you don't know that until 10 years down the line Keep us informed of when that fight happens at YH as people like this need supporting 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
