This is taking me down memory lane. McAuly was a brilliant Irish fighter with a bomb of a right hand. He won the world title against Duke McKenzie in a good domestic battle. Dave also stopped the tiny but tough South African Jake Matlada.

These fights were all on mainstream BBC where I fell in love with boxing when Honeyghan, Bruno and Herol Graham were on.

Seems like he burned like a meteor. Caught a handful of fights from early trades when if it didn't happen in the States, you just read about some fighters in a monthly mag. Usually a month later . No one ever one bricked ageless Baby Jake Matlala like that. McAuley had his track shoes on but just sharp shot him all day and close.

Just a great unreal gem with sadly two tragic stories.

Robert v Akeem was insane and the atmosphere sounded incredible. 1990's had some great fights.

Even Crawford V Spence took an epoch to make.

If it had happened about 4 years earlier, before Spence started having car crashes for a living, he might have stood a bit more of a chance against Bud.

hi yong choi v bong jun kim

Thank you gentleman
A few popping up that I've never seen
Great stuff

Again this is all memory lane boxing for me.

Channel 4, a terrestrial channel showed these fighters from the far East.

I would never have become a fan of them and boxing if they had not shown these boxers on mainstream.

This is why boxing is now a minority sport.
