He was also good entertainment

His alleged connections to Daniel Kinahan may also cause some inconvenience going forward.
All that said and love him or hate him he's a genuinely interesting sportsman in a sea of dismal bland media savy greyness.

Travis_Bickle

Mega_Armageddon_Chickens he claimed he'd split from him last year.......
Kinahan's story is pure Hollywood with characters from Grand Theft Auto.

Cooley

Foxy_Dread Exactly.

I wasn't aware of that, cheers. On a related note I have just ordered Nicola Tallant's book 'Clash of the Clans'. She's got some bottle to say the least.

Reggie_Perrin

Travis_Bickle did you see the documentary on him and MTK Global? Tell you something, McGuigan is either very brave or very stupid.

Travis_Bickle

Reggie_Perrin brave I think. Or maybe reckons he's too big a name to.be snuffed out?
One thing that's always fascinated me are the connections between people like Kinahan and the criminals he networks with. Blokes from blocks of flats in Dublin making millions with other blokes from blocks.of flats in Naples or Amsterdam, Karachi or La Paz.

Jon

He’s a product of his environment.

Misura

Travis_Bickle capitalism in one of its purest forms.

Travis_Bickle

Misura The purest. Almost entirely deregulated, global commerce. Exploitation at every level.

Travis_Bickle

Watched the fight again. Wilder was squinting and screwing his face up a lot after the fight. Dread to think what those punches have done to his brain.

Jon how do they cope with all the opportunistic social media whoppers pretending to be fans?

Cooley

Full highlights from BT Sport of Fury/Wilder 3 now on YouTube if anyone’s interested.

Cooley

Hearns. Blimey….

Reggie_Perrin

Cooley some knockout is that. Massive reach advantage.

love Duran.

Cooley

Reggie_Perrin Hearns was some specimen. Remarkable boxer.

Raposa

Did you see Duran waving him in even though he was getting battered?
One tough cookie Duran but too small for Hearns and past his best, a fight Duran was never going to win.
Strange how size and contrasting styles work in boxing.
Compare that fight to how Hagler stopped Hearns and yet Duran took Hagler all the way for the full 15 rounds.

What an era that was.
